UNGA adopts Pak-backed resolution

UNITED NATIONS:

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has unanimously adopted a Pakistan-sponsored resolution that reaffirmed the right to self-determination for peoples still subjected to colonial, foreign, and alien occupation.

According to Pakistan's Permanent Mission to the UN, the resolution — titled 'Universal realisation of the right of the peoples to self-determination' — was adopted during the UNGA's 80th session.

"The consensual adoption of the resolution manifests broad international support for the inalienable right of the peoples facing colonialism, alien domination and foreign occupation," it said in a post on X.

"For the people of Indian Illegally-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) and Palestine, the resolution reinforces international attention to their just and legitimate cause and their aspirations for freedom and dignity in accordance with UN Security Council (UNSC) resolutions," it added.
