Pakistan to take Kashmir dispute with India to International Court of Justice

[Abdullah719]

ISLAMABAD: After highlighting the Kashmir issue at the United Nation Security Council (UN) and Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Pakistan has now decided to approach the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over the Occupied Kashmir issue, ARY News reported on Sunday.

“Pakistan has decided to approach ICJ over IoK issue after considering all legal aspects,” said Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi while talking to ARY News exclusively.

He said that Ministry of Law will soon issue all details regarding Pakistan’s decision for approaching ICJ on IoK issue.

On August 5, the Indian government had announced the scrapping of the special status of occupied Kashmir by revoking Article 370 of the Indian constitution.

Earlier, the Security Council’s emergency meeting held after 50 years had nullified Indian claims that Kashmir is their internal matter.

Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Dr Maleeha Lodhi while talking to media along with Chinese envoy to the United Nations, after the UNSC meeting in New York, said the meeting was briefed on the latest developments and the dismal human rights situation in occupied Kashmir.

She added that the voices of Kashmiris were heard at the meeting of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

Meanwhile, the authorities continue to impose strict curfew across Indian occupied Kashmir (IoK) on the 16th consecutive day on Monday to prevent people from holding demonstrations against India’s move of abrogating special status to Jammu and Kashmir.

The entire occupied territory particularly the Kashmir has been turned into a military garrison as Indian troops and police personnel are deployed in every nook and corner. In Srinagar, thousands of troops and policemen are patrolling the deserted streets, lanes and by-lanes to thwart any attempt of people to stage anti-India demonstrations.

It's good to highlight it but I don't think ICJ can do much as witnessed by Yadav's case.

 

[Lonewarrior]

nothing gonna come out of it ...

 

[msaaim89]

nothing gonna come out of it ...

Raising the issue at highest levels.

 

[msb314]

Seems like a waste of time and resources to me.

 

[Pakpak]

Waste of time. They will likely rule at best that's a bilateral issue or Indians own matter. Both outcomes would be a defeat for us.

 

[Rellu_Katta]

its not going to be about a win or a loss... ICJ cannot force anything... it will be more about highlighting the issue in international media ... should def be done

 

[uberkoen]

The truth here is that there is nothing Pakistan can do about the situation and really no one except China has supported Pakistan's stance with Russia being the only other country to say that this should be handled bilaterally. Every other country has basically stated that this is India's internal matter.

Knowing that, Pakistan still cannot sit quietly and let this happen. This is just another form of whinging over the issue even though everyone knows nothing will come off it. A few months down the line the matter will most probably be forgotten for the international community who are more concerned about two nuclear countries being at the brink of war rather than Kashmir.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Good news for the lawyers.

 

[Varun]

Nothing will happen.

If Pakistan wants Kashmir, they must walk across and take it sooner rather than later. The court proceedings can follow, even in which case nothing will happen in a court itself.

 

[jadaja]

Very good news now Indian govt can present its case about POK and Gilgit so that they can become part of India which Pakistan has occupied unlawfully for last 70 years.

lol

 

[classic]

What percentage of the population are now actively seeking to learn or acquire more knowledge about the Kashmiri issue from say past two weeks?

This is something Indian government would liked to have kept quiet about for as long as possible. Thanks to Imran Khan.. Not Anymore..

In your xxx dreams

 

[Ram Shekhar]

I commend Imran Khan and Pakistan for taking every possible measure to ensure the safety of Kashmiris. It is making my heart melt. #Kudos

Imran Khan needs to have an expiry date for the Kashmir issue. Already, there are murmurs among the common populace about rising prices, garbage issues and police brutality. There is a sense of insecurity being developed - am I less valuable than a Kashmiri? Khan should either multi-task effectively or rest the Kashmir issue eventually.

Agreed. Total waste of time if it's all just talk.

Talk isn't going to bring back Kashmir in 2 weeks or even 10 years if it's been with us for the last 70.

He has to do it as he would get destroyed by the opposition if he didn't. Beyond the rhetoric he's a clever man and knows practically there is little Pakistan can do and he must also know no nation is going to force India into any pressure.

As for police brutality, Punjab Police has been PMLN's personal thugs for 35 years and still is full of garbage. Draining that level of filth will need years.

Imran Khan is disaster.

 

[JaDed]

Imran Khan is disaster.

As an Indian I don’t feel that bro, irrespective of his Tweets he has been absolutely on India’s face on all issues, now again I can’t speak about what is happening in Pakistan but he has created a very strong image of Pak , even his double standards on Kashmir and Xinjang ,no one has been able to publicize it(India’s fault) one reason could be no one wants to mess with China but again he is in a win win situation.

What has he achieved againist India? Tweeting and holding Jalsas mean nothing to anyone.

He has been royally ignored by India. They just dont waste time in replying to him.

The only time a response is given is on the LoC. Or if pakistan tries to raise the issue in any international platform, to shut that down.

Not his fault tbh. If i go by PP, pakistanis are more interested in kashmir than in Pakistan. Now this may be more of a non resident pakistani phenomenon, but i can only go by what i see here.

 

[fitCricFan]

Imran Khan is a joke of a politician. Right now he looks like a deer stuck in the headlights. This idiot, Oxford educated elite claimed that Japan and Germany share borders and has morons like Fawad Chaudhry in his cabinet running the portfolio of Science and Technology. Fools in company

These guys don't even live in pakistan so they will never be able to understand how tough the things are right now. At time when this guy needs to give attention towards the people who are facing unemployment left, right and center; he is hell bent on his jalsas and twitter dramas.

Not saying it means anything and as you said on other post it could be coz i spend a lot of time on PP..

So what should he concentrate on? Pakistan or Taking on India?

He cant do both.

His point was about international viewpoint.

Nobody outside Pakistan knows or cares about Buzdar.

It's really because of the number of Indian posters here. If there were fewer Indian posters then the focus would be more on internal issues.

Before the curfew etc., Kashmir was not a focal point of discussion at all in social circles, TV, etc.

 

[Hamza_]

[MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION]

Doesn't matter.

My point here is that he is trying to hide his (& his cabinet's) poor performance behind this Kashmir Rhetoric.

Did you see what the opposition did during the joint parliamentary session?

During Arif Alvi's speech, they shouted themselves hoarse with one of the focal chants being the inane 'Kashmir ka sauda na-manzoor'.

Can you imagine how he would be ripped to shreds if he didn't give a statement about Kashmir for even a few days?

He has to keep talking about this. That's what the populace wants as well.

As if his performance was spot on before this conflict?

What do you think IK is winning?

Ask the bottom line questions. The economy is the main thing for countries like India and Pakistan, everything else is secondary.

Are IK's twitter rants damaging the Indian economy? Given that the Saudis invested $15 billion in Ambani's refinery right after 370 abrogation, I would say no.

Are IK's twitter rants helping Pakistan's economy? All this talk of a nuclear war would have scared bejesus out of any remaining foreign investor who may have contemplated investing in Pakistan.

How about you try to actually read his post. He is referring to the falsification of economy reports.
[MENTION=149871]Ram Shekhar[/MENTION] is a honest Indian. He is being attacked just because he doesn't tow the BJP line.

1. My point was that IK's actions have damaged Pakistan economically more than they have damaged India economically. It is stupid to think otherwise, and reading stupid posts negatively impacts my IQ.

2. It is not impossible he is Indian, in a country of over a billion people we do have a few nut cases. However more likely than not he is not Indian.

You're a nice man. I'm finding Pakistanis better than Indians after joining this forum and at least my opinions are valued and I'm heard. Rightwing Indians on the other hand, well, are nut cases as expected. No cure for them.
