At the United Nations, Pakistan has reiterated that there will be no peace in South Asia and the Middle East until the people of Jammu and Kashmir and Palestine are enabled to exercise their right to self-determination.

Speaking in a debate on the rule of law at national and international levels in the UN General Assembly’s legal committee, Pakistan’s deputy permanent representative Aamir Khan said the right to self-determination is a fundamental pillar of the world order.

He called on the United Nations, particularly the Security Council, to invest more time and energy to secure the implementation of its own resolutions on Palestine and the Jammu and Kashmir disputes.
