BLA and Kashmiri seperatists both spread chaos and unrest in their respective nations. The west or the UN doesn't recognise either the Baloch freedom movement or the Kashmiri secession movement
That my friend is not true.
You can compare
Balochistan Insurgency in Pakistan to the
Maoist Insurgency in Northeast India, but not Kashmir
Unlike Kashmir, Balochistan and Northeast Indian states are NOT
Disputed Territories under International Law.
Accession of Kashmir is different from accession of any other Indian Princely State as the accession has been placed before the UN Security Council for arranging a ratification or otherwise by the people of the State under the auspices of the United Nations. Therefore, the arrangement caused through the accession of 26 October 1947 has been taken over by the interests of 195 countries of the UN (including Pakistan as a member nation of UN and as a party). Pakistan as a party to the dispute administers two administrations of the State on its side of cease fire line.
As for the Kashmiri Freedom struggle,
The UN has no internationally agreed definition of terrorism and the reason is that some organizations (OIC, Arab League etc.) define terrorism to exclude "armed struggle for liberation" and "self-determination". The member countries (of these organisations) won't accept any definition of terrorism which may declare Palestinian Freedom Fighters as Terrorists. This Dead Lock continues to this day and the UN has not adopted
the convention on international terrorism.
So, as long as the UN does not "define" terrorism, the Kashmiri Freedom Fighters cannot be declared Terrorists .....
As far as International Law is concerned, the Statute of the International Court of Justice does recognize
the teachings of the most highly qualified publicists of the various nations as a valid source of International Law. This category may also include the work of organizations and private institutions. Opinions expressed by experts carrysignificant weight in International Law.
And here is what some experts on International Law have to say regarding the
Kashmiri Freedom Fighters:
(The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) is an international human rights non-governmental organization based in Geneva. The Commission itself is a standing group of 60 eminent jurists(including senior judges, attorneys and academics) dedicated to ensuringrespect for international human rights standards through the law. Commissioners are known for their experience, knowledge and fundamental commitment to human rights.)
ICJ sent a fact finding mission to Kashmir in 1995. The final report published not only challenged the accession of Kashmir to India, it went on to say "If as the ICJ mission hasconcluded ,
the people of Kashmir have a right for self determination, it follows that their insurgency is legitimate " ... (p.84-98)
