variety of other representatives including military and peace keepers across the globe including Pakistan and India for the purpose of mitigating issue and making this world peaceful. Ironically UN so far has failed to fulfill its principal responsibility in many areas particularly in the context of increased nuclear volatility in this region. UNGS has been making certain frivolous efforts like granting observer status to D-8 countries primarily to achieve the UN’s Millennium Development Goals.
In other words UN wants D-8 to achieve certain goals that promote global economy as well as creation of new opportunities in trade relations and above all improvement of standard of living of its people. But these goals would hardly be a priority for developing countries that are drawn out with existentional threats under internationally recognized illegal foreign occupation.
In order to synergise objectives of developing countries with the objectives of United Nation’s socioeconomic and sustainable development objectives, there is a need to empower subjugated populations like Kashmiris, first under UN charter.
Unresolved disputes cast devastating effects on the objectives and goals of individual countries as well as the UN goals. Current refugee crisis that has engulfed both developed and underdeveloped countries is the best example and end result of ineffectiveness of apex global forum, UN. It is highly disappointing that UN human rights experts are hired merely to either show concerns against Indian atrocities in Kashmir or over the US decisions to not charge the white American police officers who relentlessly kill many unarmed black men in separate incidents in different cities of the USA.
Similarly UN anti-torture panel can only request the US to ease indefinite detention without charge, whereas Kashmiris are being treated inhumanly and meted degraded treatment for the last 70 years.
Global powers on the other are not only concerned about the fluctuating tension between two nuclear powers but also pressuring Pakistan to sign FMCT and similar protocols without binding India on similar accounts as well as on its stubborn behaviour on Kashmir dispute which the core issue between two countries.
If at all UN is concerned about the nuclear flashpoint in south east Asia, then it must come out of Indian and American influence and bring Kashmir issue to UN table at least for the satisfaction of Pakistani renegades like the former envoy and India.
