Pakistan asks UN to 'act decisively' to prevent a 'disastrous war' with India
2020-01-11
[DAWN] Pakistain has asked the United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
Security Council and UN Secretary General António Guterres
...Portuguese politician and diplomat, ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations. Previously, he was the UN High Commissioner for Refugees between 2005 and 2015. He was the Prime Minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002 and was the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party from 1992 to 2002. He served as President of the Socialist International from 1999 to 2005. In both a 2012 and 2014 poll, the Portuguese public ranked him as the best Prime Minister of the previous 30 years...
to "act decisively" to prevent a "disastrous war" between Pakistain and India.

In a video shared by APP on Friday, Pakistain's ambassador to the UN while addressing the UNSC said: "Pakistain requests the Security Council and [...] the secretary general to act decisively to prevent a disastrous war between Pakistain and India, to call for an end to the grave human rights
...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state...
violations in occupied Jammu and Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
and to enable the Kashmiri people to exercise their right of self-determination."

As the UNSC held a debate on Thursday on upholding the UN Charter, Akram informed the security council of the situation in occupied Kashmir.

"It is now over 150 days that 8 million in the Kashmir Valley have been kept under a cruel curfew and a communications blackout by an Indian occupation force of 900,000 troops.

"All Kashmiri leaders remain in jails across India. Thousands of young boys have been kidnapped, arbitrarily detained, tortured and maimed.

"Women subjected to sexual harassment, humiliation and intimidation, and all protest violently suppressed," he said, adding that the Pak delegation had shared a dossier of reports by journalists and observers which "vividly illustrate the climate of fear and the reign of terror" imposed by India on Kashmiris.

The lockdown in the occupied region has crossed 150 days with the security and communication clampdown now in its fifth month.
