The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of India has stated that recent international media reports regarding a resolution presented by Pakistan in the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) are inaccurate. The resolution, which was approved without a vote, has no mention of Jammu and Kashmir, according to MEA sources.
Pakistan takes this resolution every year, and it usually deals with the “Universal Realization of the Right of Peoples to Self-determination.” Although Pakistan has asserted that the resolution emphasizes the suffering of those in “Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir,” Indian authorities have adamantly declared that such claims are baseless and inaccurately depict the resolution’s substance.
The UN General Assembly (UNGA) is the organization’s principal policy-making body. It offers a special platform for multilateral debate of the entire range of global issues addressed by the UN Charter and is made up of all Member States. Every one of the United Nations’ 193 member states has an equal number of votes.
Human rights concerns have been a major emphasis of the Third Committee of the UN General Assembly’s work, especially in its most recent sessions. In addition to assessing reports from the Human Rights Council’s special processes, which were established in 2006, this committee is essential to the investigation of human rights issues.
The MEA stressed that India’s stance on Jammu and Kashmir, which it says is an essential part of India, remains unchanged and that the resolution’s adoption is customary.
