Introductory Remarks by Ambassador Munir Akram in Kashmir Solidarity Webinar, organized by Permanent Mission of Pakistan to the UN. February 3, 2023. Ladies and Gentlemen, I welcome you all in the Webinar organized by Permanent Mission of Pakistan to the United Nations on Kashmir Solidarity Day. 2. Today, as the Government and people of Pakistan are observing “Kashmir Solidarity Day”, the importance and urgency of resolving this 7 decade old protracted conflict deserves attention of the international community more than ever. 3. India’s occupation of Jammu & Kashmir is illegal, contrary to the UN Charter and the resolutions of the Security Council. 4. The struggle of the Kashmiri people for freedom and self-determination is legitimate, under the UN Charter, Security Council resolutions and international laws. 5. India has resolved to massacre violations of human rights of the Kashmiris for over 70 years. This repression has intensified in the aftermath of the unilateral measures initiated by India since 5 August 2019. 6. Indian campaign of oppression has not succeeded in extinguishing the desire and demand of the Kashmiri people for freedom and self-determination. Their freedom struggle continues and will continue. 7. The government and people of Pakistan are committed to continue their support to the people of occupied Jammu & Kashmir until they achieve their legitimate rights and their freedom and liberty.
