Introduction
The Kashmir issue has been a longstanding dispute between Pakistan and India. The people of Jammu and Kashmir have been suffering for decades due to the Indian occupation, which has been marked by human rights violations, violence, and suppression of freedom. On 5th August 2019, the Indian government revoked the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, which further exacerbated the situation, and the people of the region have been living in constant fear and uncertainty since then. Pakistan has taken several measures to draw the world’s attention to the plight of Kashmiris and to support their struggle for their right to self-determination.
Pakistan’s diplomatic efforts to highlight the Kashmir issue
Pakistan has been raising the Kashmir issue at various international forums, including the United Nations, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), and other regional organizations. The country has been highlighting the human rights violations and the repression of the Kashmiri people by the Indian security forces. Pakistan’s efforts have led to the UN Security Council holding a meeting on the Kashmir issue for the first time in over five decades. The meeting helped to draw global attention to the issue and put pressure on India to end the repression of the Kashmiri people.
Pakistan’s political and moral support to the Kashmiri people
Pakistan has been providing political and moral support to the Kashmiri people in their struggle for self-determination. The country has been expressing solidarity with the Kashmiri people and raising their voice against the Indian occupation. The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, has been highlighting the issue at various international forums and calling for the international community to take notice of the situation in Kashmir. Pakistan has also provided financial support to the families of Kashmiri martyrs and has been raising funds for the Kashmiri people’s relief and rehabilitation.
Pakistan’s media efforts to raise awareness about the Kashmir issue
Pakistan’s media has been playing a vital role in highlighting the Kashmir issue and bringing it to the world’s attention. The media has been actively reporting on the human rights violations and the repression of the Kashmiri people by the Indian security forces. Pakistan’s media has also been highlighting the impact of the Indian occupation on the Kashmiri people’s lives, such as the communication blackout, the curfews, and the economic blockade. The media has also been giving a voice to the Kashmiri people, who have been silenced by the Indian occupation.
Pakistan’s legal efforts to raise the Kashmir issue
Pakistan has taken legal action to raise the Kashmir issue and to challenge India’s illegal occupation of the region. Pakistan has approached the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to challenge India’s revocation of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status and the subsequent human rights violations. Pakistan has also approached the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to highlight the human rights violations and the repression of the Kashmiri people by the Indian security forces.
Conclusion
The people of Jammu and Kashmir have been suffering for decades due to the Indian occupation, which has been marked by human rights violations, violence, and suppression of freedom. Pakistan has been taking several measures to draw the world’s attention to the plight of Kashmiris and to support their struggle for their right to self-determination. Pakistan’s diplomatic efforts, political and moral support, media efforts, and legal actions have been instrumental in highlighting the Kashmir issue and putting pressure on India to end the repression of the Kashmiri people. The world community must come forward to support the Kashmiri people and help to resolve this longstanding dispute peacefully.
