Pakistan: Pakistan urges UN to play role on Kashmir

ISLAMABAD, 12 December 2021, (TON): Pakistan yesterday urged the United Nations to play its role on the issue of occupied Kashmir.

In a message on the Human Rights Day, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said “Pakistan joins the international community in celebrating the 73rd anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights.”

The Declaration continues to be a beacon of light and a moral compass for states, societies and communities to promote and protect rights, freedoms, and dignity of every human being, without any distinction.

He said “the annual commemoration of this day also signifies the progress achieved in realizing the universally shared ideals of equality, non-discrimination, justice, tolerance, peace and development.”

He added “yet, this day is also a reminder of the need to both preserve these gains and to redouble efforts in empowering those whose rights remain unrealized, whose freedoms and dignity remain under attack and those who have been left behind.”
