UN Resolutions on Kashmir: Recent Skirmishes in the Camp of Kashmir’s Freedom Politics

Professor Abdul Ghani Bhat, a senior Hurriyat leader, recently made a statement about UN Security Council Resolutions which triggered a hostile reaction from some other groups in the Freedom camp, Hurriyat and non-Hurriyat. To be fair to Prof. Ghani, he did not focus on UN Resolutions per se; his argument related to their relevance and capability to bring about the resolution of Kashmir conflict.

Agreement and Disagreement in Geneva*

There could be hardly any disagreement on agitating the Right of Self-Determination of all people of the State of Jammu and Kashmir, on highlighting the violations of human rights of all manner, prisoner’s rights, on the question of people’s empowerment, gender equality, opportunities for a decent living, corruption free administration, freedom of press, rule of law and on the will of the people as the basis of any government in Srinagar, Muzaffarabad and Gilgit.
