ISLAMABAD: The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has adopted a Pakistan-sponsored resolution on the peoples’ right to self-determination, Pakistan’s UN mission said on Friday, saying it reinforces the world attention to the Palestine and Kashmir issues.
The text, which was adopted by consensus, was recommended last month by the 193-member General Assembly’s Third Committee, which deals with social, humanitarian and cultural issues, according to Pakistani state media.
Co-sponsored by 65 countries, it called on countries to immediately cease foreign military intervention in and occupation of foreign countries and territories as well as acts of “repression, discrimination, and maltreatment.”
The resolution also declared the General Assembly’s firm opposition to acts of foreign military intervention, aggression and occupation, which have resulted in suppression of peoples’ right to self-determination in parts of the world.
“The consensual adoption of the resolution manifests broad international support for the inalienable right of the peoples facing colonialism, alien domination and foreign occupation,” Pakistan’s UN mission said on X.
