TITLED: "KASHMIR CONFLICT: REUNIFICATION OF THE HISTORICAL STATE OF JAMMU & KASHMIR AND THE RIGHT TO SELF-DETERMINATION." THE CONFERENCE HOSTED BY THE HONORABLE RICHARD BURGON, A DISTINGUISHED LABOUR PARTY POLITICIAN AND MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT FOR LEEDS EAST. DRAFT RESOLUTIONS THE UKPNP INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE HELD AT THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT ON 26TH NOVEMBER 2024. RESOLUTION 1: REUNIFICATION OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR FOR REGIONAL PEACE. THE CONFERENCE EMPHASIZES THE URGENT NEED FOR THE REUNIFICATION OF THE ERSTWHILE STATE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR AS A CRITICAL STEP TOWARD ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE PEACE AND STABILITY IN SOUTH ASIA. REUNIFICATION IS SEEN AS ESSENTIAL FOR FOSTERING MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING, REDUCING HOSTILITIES, AND PROMOTING CONSTRUCTIVE DIALOGUE BETWEEN INDIA AND PAKISTAN. THE RESTORATION OF THE REGION’S TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY IS URGED AS A CATALYST FOR LONG-TERM PEACEBUILDING AND REGIONAL COOPERATION. RESOLUTION 2: GUARANTEEING FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS IN PAKISTANI-ADMINISTERED AZAD JAMMU AND KASHMIR. THE CONFERENCE CALLS UPON THE GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN AND AUTHORITIES IN AZAD JAMMU AND KASHMIR TO ENSURE THE PROTECTION OF FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS, INCLUDING FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, ASSEMBLY, AND SPEECH, IN ACCORDANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS STANDARDS. IT EXPRESSES CONCERN OVER INCREASING RESTRICTIONS ON PEACEFUL PUBLIC GATHERINGS, THE ENACTMENT OF REPRESSIVE LAWS, AND OTHER MEASURES THAT UNDERMINE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE. THESE RESTRICTIONS MUST BE REPEALED IMMEDIATELY TO RESTORE A DEMOCRATIC AND JUST SOCIETY. PAKISTAN IS FURTHER URGED TO WITHDRAW ITS EXTERNAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION FROM THE REGION, INCLUDING LENT OFFICERS, TO ENHANCE LOCAL AUTONOMY AND GOVERNANCE. RESOLUTION 3: ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE JAMMU AND KASHMIR STATE ASSEMBLY’S RESOLUTION ON SPECIAL STATUS THIS CONFERENCE ACKNOWLEDGES THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RECENT RESOLUTION PASSED BY THE JAMMU AND KASHMIR STATE ASSEMBLY, ADVOCATING FOR THE RESTORATION OF SPECIAL STATUS AND STATEHOOD. IT RECALLS INDIA’S ENTRY INTO THE STATE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR UNDER THE TREATY OF ACCESSION IN 1947, WHICH PLACES THE RESPONSIBILITY ON INDIA TO ENSURE THE UNIFICATION OF THE REGION AND THE PROTECTION OF KASHMIRI LIVES, LIBERTIES, AND PROPERTIES. THE CONFERENCE CALLS UPON INDIA TO HONOR ITS COMMITMENTS AND PLEDGES MADE TO THE PEOPLE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR. THE RESTORATION OF STATEHOOD, INCLUDING THAT OF LADAKH, AND THE REINSTATEMENT OF SPECIAL STATUS ARE DEEMED VITAL FOR ADDRESSING THE GRIEVANCES AND ASPIRATIONS OF THE KASHMIRI PEOPLE WHILE ENSURING JUSTICE, PEACE, AND DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES. RESOLUTION 4: ENSURING EQUAL POLITICAL PARTICIPATION IN AZAD JAMMU AND KASHMIR THE CONFERENCE EXPRESSES SERIOUS CONCERN OVER THE EXCLUSION OF PRO-KASHMIR POLITICAL PARTIES, INCLUDING THE UNITED KASHMIR PEOPLE'S NATIONAL PARTY (UKPNP), FROM REGISTERING WITH THE ELECTION COMMISSION IN AZAD JAMMU AND KASHMIR. IT STRONGLY CONDEMNS COERCIVE MEASURES THAT FORCE POLITICAL PARTIES AND INDIVIDUALS TO PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO PAKISTAN, UNDERMINING DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES AND FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS. THE CONFERENCE CALLS UPON PAKISTAN TO REPEAL ALL DISCRIMINATORY LAWS THAT OBSTRUCT THE REGISTRATION AND PARTICIPATION OF PEACEFUL DEMOCRATIC PARTIES. IT URGES THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A TRANSPARENT AND INCLUSIVE ELECTORAL PROCESS THAT ALLOWS ALL POLITICAL ENTITIES AND INDIVIDUALS TO PARTICIPATE FREELY, WITHOUT PRE-SCREENING OR COERCION, THEREBY ENSURING POLITICAL PLURALISM AND DEMOCRATIC INTEGRITY. RESOLUTION 5: ADDRESSING PROXY WARS AND HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN JAMMU AND KASHMIR THE CONFERENCE CONDEMNS THE USE OF PROXY WARS AND PROXY POLITICS IN JAMMU AND KASHMIR WHICH HAS ADDED TO THE SUFFERINGS OF ITS PEOPLE. THE CONFERENCE FURTHER URGES PAKISTAN AND INDIA TO STOP INDULGING IN THIS INSANE PHENOMENON OF PROXY WAR WHICH HAS WREAKED HAVOC WITH THE LIVES OF KASHMIRIS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE BORDERS BESIDE CREATING A SPECTER OF A TERRIBLE CONFLICT THAT MIGHT ESCALATE INTO A NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST GIVEN THE DOMINANCE OF WAR MONGERS IN THE POLITICS OF THE TWO SOUTH ASIAN NUCLEAR STATES. IT ALSO ASKS ISLAMABAD TO END ITS POLITICAL INTERFERENCE THAT HAS PREVENTED SECULAR AND DEMOCRATIC PARTIES FROM FREELY PARTICIPATING IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS OF THE REGION. IT CALLS FOR THE IMMEDIATE DISMANTLING OF TERRORIST INFRASTRUCTURE IN AZAD JAMMU AND KASHMIR AND THE CESSATION OF OPERATIONS BY BANNED OUTFITS IN THE REGION. THE PARTICIPANTS OF THE CONFERENCE BELIEVE THAT THE PROTECTION OF LIFE, LIBERTY, AND PROPERTY IS THE FUNDAMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL STATES AND THEY MUST PERFORM THIS DUTY. WIDESPREAD HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS, INCLUDING THOSE PERPETRATED BY EXTREMIST GROUPS AND EXCESSIVE USE OF FORCE BY SECURITY AGENCIES, MUST END IMMEDIATELY. THIS CONFERENCE URGES INDIA AND PAKISTAN TO PRIORITIZE THE PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND ADHERE TO INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS STANDARDS BESIDES ENSURING ACCOUNTABILITY OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATORS IN ORDER TO PROMOTE PEACE AND JUSTICE IN JAMMU AND KASHMIR. RESOLUTION 6: CALL FOR IMMEDIATE AND UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF POLITICAL DETAINEES IN AZAD KASHMIR THIS CONFERENCE UNEQUIVOCALLY CONDEMNS THE ARREST AND DETENTION OF PEACEFUL POLITICAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS IN AZAD KASHMIR. WE DEMAND THE IMMEDIATE AND UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF ALI SHAMRAIZ, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED KASHMIR NATIONAL STUDENT ORGANIZATION (UKNSO), RASHAD AHMED, AND ALL OTHER POLITICAL DETAINEES. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT PAKISTAN UPHOLDS FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS AND FULFILLS ITS INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. THE ONGOING SUPPRESSION OF POLITICAL VOICES UNDERMINES THE PRINCIPLES OF JUSTICE AND DEMOCRACY. THIS CONFERENCE STANDS FIRMLY IN SOLIDARITY WITH THOSE WHO PEACEFULLY ADVOCATE FOR THEIR RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.

UKPNP: LONG LIVE UKPNP:> RESOLUTIONS PASSED UKPNP 7TH CENTRAL CONVENTION: THE UNITED KASHMIR PEOPLE'S NATIONAL PARTY (UKPNP), A SECULAR AND DEMOCRATIC POLITICAL ORGANIZATION, IS DEDICATED TO THE PEACEFUL PURSUIT OF CIVIL SOCIETY, POLITICAL, SOCIO-ECONOMIC, AND HUMAN RIGHTS FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE HISTORICAL STATE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR, INCLUDING AZAD KASHMIR, GILGIT BALTISTAN, AND THE DIASPORA KASHMIRIS. THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTIONS WERE UNANIMOUSLY PASSED AT THE 7TH CENTRAL CONVENTION: AFFIRMATION OF POLITICAL UNITY:> THE ERSTWHILE STATE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR INCLUDING PARTS ARE RECOGNIZED AS ONE POLITICAL ENTITY. ITS UNIFICATION, STABILITY, PROSPERITY, AND SOVEREIGNTY ARE OUR ULTIMATE GOALS. STATUS OF AZAD KASHMIR AND GILGIT BALTISTAN:> AZAD KASHMIR AND GILGIT BALTISTAN ARE DECLARED LEGAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL PARTS OF THE FORMER STATE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR. RESPECTIVE GOVERNMENTS ARE CAUTIONED AGAINST UNILATERALLY ALTERING THE STATUS OF THESE REGIONS, AS SUCH ACTIONS COULD SERIOUSLY AFFECT THE JAMMU AND KASHMIR DISPUTE AND PROVE COUNTERPRODUCTIVE. JAMMU KASHMIR STATE SUBJECT RULE OF 1927:> EMPHASIZE THAT THE JAMMU KASHMIR STATE SUBJECT RULE OF 1927, WHICH PROVIDES IDENTITY AND SPECIAL STATUS TO ALL CITIZENS OF THE FORMER PRINCELY STATE, MUST NOT BE VIOLATED OR TAMPERED WITH IN ANY FORM. FORMATION OF A CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY:> DEMAND THE FORMATION OF A CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY CONSISTING OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM AZAD KASHMIR AND GILGIT BALTISTAN TO EMPOWER LOCAL PEOPLE UNTIL THE KASHMIR CONFLICT, ONE OF THE OLDEST CONFLICTS ON THE UN AGENDA, IS RESOLVED. RIGHT TO LIFE AND HUMAN RIGHTS:> ASSERT THAT THE RIGHT TO LIFE IS A FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHT, WHICH IS VIOLATED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE LINE OF CONTROL IN THE DIVIDED STATE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR. WE URGE RESTRAINT FROM THOSE WIELDING WEAPONS, AS VIOLENCE ONLY ADDS TO THE MISERY AND SUFFERING OF THE PEOPLE. THE PEOPLE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR HAVE BEEN VICTIMS OF AGGRESSION, EXTREMISM, AND VIOLENCE SINCE 1947. THIS FORCED DIVISION AND SUFFERING MUST END, ALLOWING PEOPLE TO ENJOY THEIR FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS AND RIGHT TO LIFE. EQUALITY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL:> EXPRESS STRONG RESOLVE THAT HUMAN RIGHTS MUST NOT BE SELECTIVE. EQUALITY, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND JUSTICE MUST BE GUARANTEED FOR ALL CITIZENS. INTERESTS OF NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES:> ACKNOWLEDGE THAT INDIA AND PAKISTAN HAVE INTERESTS IN JAMMU AND KASHMIR, BUT OUR INTERESTS MUST BE PARAMOUNT, AS WE ARE THE PRINCIPAL PARTY TO THE JAMMU AND KASHMIR DISPUTE. CONDEMNATION OF LAND GRABBING:> STRONGLY CONDEMN THE GROWING ‘LAND GRABBING’ IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE HISTORICAL STATE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR BY STATE AND NON-STATE ACTORS, AS WELL AS OTHER INFLUENTIAL INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ILLEGALLY AND FORCEFULLY SEIZING PRIVATE AND PUBLIC PROPERTY, HILLTOPS, AND TOURIST RESORTS. NATURAL RESOURCE EXPLOITATION:> CRITICIZE THE SYSTEMATIC PLUNDERING OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF MEGA DAMS THAT DIVERT THE NATURAL FLOW OF RIVERS IN THIS DISPUTED TERRITORY. THESE ACTIONS CAUSE SERIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS FOR LOCAL PEOPLE, INCLUDING ACCESS TO CLEAN DRINKING WATER. URGE AN END TO THE EXPLOITATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND DEMAND OWNERSHIP OF WATER, OTHER NATURAL RESOURCES, AND THE DAMS ALREADY BUILT WITHIN THE TERRITORY OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR STATE. STOP PROMOTION OF EXTREMISM AND VIOLENCE:> RECOMMEND THAT THE GOVERNMENT TAKE EFFECTIVE MEASURES TO CONTROL THE ACTIVITIES OF THOSE WHO PROMOTE EXTREMISM, VIOLENCE, AND INTOLERANCE IN AZAD KASHMIR AND GILGIT BALTISTAN. FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT:> EMPHASIZE THAT FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT IS A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT. ALL CITIZENS OF THE FORMER PRINCELY STATE OF JAMMU KASHMIR WHO HOLD STATE SUBJECT CERTIFICATES SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO FREELY MOVE WITHIN BORDERS TO INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER. GOVERNMENTS SHOULD ISSUE SPECIAL ELECTRONIC CARDS TO FACILITATE TRAVEL WITHIN JAMMU AND KASHMIR, ENABLING FORCIBLY DIVIDED FAMILIES TO MEET AND INTERACT. RESPECT FOR THE STATE SUBJECT NOTIFICATION OF 1927:> URGE THE GOVERNMENTS OF PAKISTAN AND INDIA TO RESPECT THE STATE SUBJECT RULE OF 1927, WHICH GRANTS A SPECIAL STATUS TO THE PEOPLE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR. STOP SETTLING PEOPLE IN DISPUTED TERRITORIES TO CHANGE THE DEMOGRAPHY OF THE AREA. CONCERNS ABOUT RELIGION AND VIOLENCE:> EXPRESS DEEP CONCERN ABOUT THE POLICY OF USING RELIGION AS A WEAPON AND VIOLENCE AS A TOOL TO ADVANCE POLITICAL AND STRATEGIC AGENDAS, SUPPRESSING DEMOCRATIC AND PROGRESSIVE VOICES. ABOLITION OF DISCRIMINATORY LAWS:> DEMAND THE ABOLITION OF DISCRIMINATORY LAWS AND ACTS THAT PREVENT PRO-INDEPENDENCE PARTIES, GROUPS, AND INDIVIDUALS FROM PARTICIPATING IN ELECTIONS. NATIONALISTS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN ELECTIONS. ADDITIONALLY, THE WITCH-HUNTING OF PRO-INDEPENDENCE KASHMIRIS, RIGHTS ACTIVISTS, AND JOURNALISTS MUST BE STOPPED. IMPORTANCE OF PEOPLE-TO-PEOPLE CONTACTS:> HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF PEOPLE-TO-PEOPLE CONTACTS TO BUILD BRIDGES OF CONFIDENCE AND HELP RESOLVE DISPUTES. IT IS IMPERATIVE TO OPEN ALL TRADITIONAL ROUTES OF THE FORCIBLY DIVIDED STATE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR SO THAT PEOPLE CAN INTERACT, ERADICATE MISUNDERSTANDINGS, DIFFERENCES, AND HATRED. SOUTH ASIA’S ROLE IN GLOBAL POLITICS:> UNDERSTAND THAT SOUTH ASIA HAS A TURBULENT HISTORY WHERE THE INTERESTS OF MANY COUNTRIES CLASH WITH THOSE OF THE REGION. WE MUST ENSURE THAT JAMMU AND KASHMIR AND SOUTH ASIA DO NOT BECOME BATTLEGROUNDS FOR A ‘NEW COLD WAR’ OR A ‘NEW GREAT GAME’. WE MUST LIVE TOGETHER IN SOUTH ASIA, FACE THE CHALLENGES OF THE 21ST CENTURY, AND WORK TOGETHER TO COUNTER THREATS OF TERRORISM, VIOLENCE, AND XENOPHOBIA. PROTECTION OF KASHMIRIS IN PAKISTAN:> EXPRESS SERIOUS CONCERN ABOUT THE KILLINGS OF KASHMIRIS IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF PAKISTAN. RECENT MONTHS HAVE SEEN SEVERAL KASHMIRIS RESIDING IN PAKISTAN KILLED, WITH NO CULPRITS ARRESTED OR PUNISHED. WE URGE PAKISTAN TO TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTIONS TO SAFEGUARD THE LIVES, PROPERTY, AND LIBERTIES OF KASHMIRIS WITHIN ITS BORDERS AND UNDER ITS ADMINISTRATION. WE ALSO CALL FOR ADEQUATE COMPENSATION FOR THE VICTIMS' FAMILIES AND THE FACILITATION OF THEIR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION. FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT:> DEMAND THE LIFTING OF RESTRICTIONS ON PEACEFUL ADVOCATES FOR BASIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL RIGHTS IN GILGIT BALTISTAN, WHO FACE STRICT TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS WITHOUT PRIOR PERMISSION. THE UKPNP DEMANDS THE IMMEDIATE LIFTING OF THE BAN ON STUDENT UNIONS, SO THAT EDUCATED, TALENTED, AND CONSCIOUS LEADERSHIP CAN EMERGE. THE UKPNP IS DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE ONGOING WARS AND THEIR DESTRUCTION AROUND THE WORLD. WARS ARE NOT A SOLUTION TO PROBLEMS; INSTEAD, THEY LEAD TO THE DESTRUCTION OF HUMANS AND THE BANKRUPTCY OF ECONOMIES. THE UKPNP CALLS FOR MEANINGFUL AND IMMEDIATE NEGOTIATIONS FOR THE IMMEDIATE CESSATION OF ONGOING WARS IN PALESTINE, UKRAINE, AND OTHER COUNTRIES AND REGIONS, AND FOR THE RESTORATION OF PEACE. THE UKPNP STRONGLY CONDEMNS THE POLICIES AND ACTIONS OF GLOBAL WAR CAPITAL, WHICH ARE NOT ONLY KEEPING OLD CONFLICTS ALIVE BUT ALSO CREATING NEW ONES TO SELL THEIR WEAPONS, LEADING TO THE DESTRUCTION OF HUMANS AND COUNTRIES WORLDWIDE. ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SINCE 1947, THE PEOPLE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR HAVE BEEN VICTIMS OF AGGRESSION, EXTREMISM, AND VIOLENCE. THIS FORCED DIVISION AND SUFFERING SHOULD END SO THAT PEOPLE CAN ENJOY THEIR BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE RIGHT TO LIFE. RIGHT TO SELF-DETERMINATION:> EMPHASIZE THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO SELF-DETERMINATION, AS ENSHRINED IN THE INTERNATIONAL COVENANT ON CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS. STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF ALLOWING THE PEOPLE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR TO FREELY DETERMINE THEIR FUTURE STATUS. RESOLUTION OF THE JAMMU AND KASHMIR CONFLICT:> THE JAMMU AND KASHMIR CONFLICT IS NOT A TERRITORIAL DISPUTE BETWEEN INDIA AND PAKISTAN; HENCE, IT CANNOT BE RESOLVED BILATERALLY. THE PEOPLE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR, AS THE PRINCIPAL PARTY TO THE DISPUTE, MUST HAVE THE FINAL SAY ON THE FUTURE OF THEIR MOTHERLAND. UKPNP URGES THAT JAMMU KASHMIR CONFLICT SHOULD BE RESOLVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH UNITED NATIONS RESOLUTIONS AND AS PER THE WISHES AND ASPIRATIONS OF THE NATIVES OF THE ERSTWHILE PRINCELY STATE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR. �️ UKPNP STRONGLY CONDEMNS THE WAR IN JAMMU AND KASHMIR AND IN THE REGION AND CALLS FOR IMMEDIATE PEACE. 🕊️ STOP THE WAR – WAR BRINGS ONLY DESTRUCTION AND SUFFERING.

UKPNP 🕊️ UKPNP DEMANDS AN IMMEDIATE END TO ALL MILITARY ACTIONS IN THE STATE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR AND REGION. 🕊️ IF INDIA AND PAKISTAN MUST FIGHT, LET IT NOT BE ON THE SOIL OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR.
