The US Needs To Get Kashmir Issue Resolved in Accordance with UN Resolutions

Rejecting the possibility of acting as mediator in the Kashmir issue, the U.S. has said that no shortcut exists to a solution; Pakistan and India will need to show courage in tackling this. Meanwhile, a "Black Day" was observed in occupied Kashmir on International Human Rights Day.

The U.S. is the world's superpower today. Its name wields authority over the whole world, and even the United Nations does not draw a breath without its permission. Therefore, instead of offering advice to Pakistan and India, the U.S. needs to bring about the implementation of the U.N. resolutions that already exist on the Kashmir issue, and the opinions of the people of Kashmir need to be heard about what they want.

For the past 65 years, India has been overwhelming Kashmir with its tyranny and barbarism, but besides human rights organizations, world powers are also playing the role of silent spectators. The previous day, on the occasion of International Human Rights Day, the people of the occupied valley observed a "Black Day." They carried out silent sit-ins and even demonstrated in front of the U.N. office. Nothing had the slightest effect on the custodians of peace.

The previous day, Chief Minister of Punjab Mian Shahbaz Sharif also emphasized this very point — that wars are not the solution to issues and disputes — problems should be resolved by means of discussions. Since Pakistan and India both possess nuclear power, any nuclear conflict between them could destroy a large section of humanity. According to a recent report of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, 2 billion people could be killed in the region in the event of a nuclear war between Pakistan and India. India needs to act with responsibility and move toward resolving the Kashmir issue in accordance with U.N. resolutions.
