ISLAMABAD:,,, The United Nations General Assembly has unanimous adopted Pakistan-sponsored resolution on Universal Realization of the Right of the People to Self-Determination.

The resolution reaffirms unequivocal support for realization of the right to self-determination for people living under foreign occupation, colonial domination, and subjugation. It vehemently opposes acts of foreign occupation, intervention and aggression and calls upon responsible States to immediately cease such acts.

The resolution also underscores that the universal realization of the right of all peoples to self-determination is a fundamental condition for the effective guarantee and observance of human rights and for the preservation and promotion of these rights.

A large number of countries from different regions around the world supported the resolution. Pakistan has sponsored this flagship resolution for over four decades.

This annual initiative provides a message of hope to peoples living in internationally recognized situations of foreign occupation, including in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Occupied Palestine, who are being denied their inalienable right to self-determination.
