\n\u201cThe mandate with which the UN was formed was to ensure world peace and if there is any grave threat to world peace, it is due to non-resolution of Kashmir dispute, especially because of non-action by the United Nations,\u201d Kayani told a one-day conference — Why January 5, 1949 is important in the history of Kashmir freedom struggle — in Birmingham.<\/p>\n
This conference was held to mark January 05 as Day of Right to Self-determination of Kashmiris as on this day in 1949 the UN passed resolution which said: \u201cThe question of accession of the State of Jammu & Kashmir to India or Pakistan will be decided through the democratic method of a free and impartial plebiscite.\u201d

\nLamenting inaction by the world body, Kayani said the failure of the League of Nations to avert World War II resulted in its death.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was failure of the League of Nations to avoid harm to world peace that resulted in the UN and today, when three nuclear powers are head-to-head against each other in IIoJK, the UN must wake up and save the world from a big disaster which can unfold any time,\u201d Kayani said, referring to India whose nuclear assets are in RSS-led Hindu fascist thus posing danger to the world peace.<\/p>\n
The Tehreek-e-Kashmir president said Jan. 05, 1949 resolution is bed rock of the freedom struggle in IIoJK as \u201cthis resolution supersedes any domestic legal change brought by India.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe unilateral and illegal actions by Indian fascist regime has no bearing on the UN resolutions rather India is the big violator of international conventions and resolutions on Kashmir,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is the responsibility of the international community to be the voice of the oppressed people. Sadly, due to Geo politics and weakness in current UN set up no progress has been made,\u201d Khan told the conference.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cThere is a renewed hope that the US can now a play role in brokering peace in the region, following President Biden\u2019s election.\u201d

\u201cIndia now has a choice. It can continue with the lockdown and curfew or support peace in Kashmir.
