00:08to formalize its illegal annexation of the internationally recognized disputed territory
00:15of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

00:23The entire territory of Jammu and Kashmir is and will always be an integral and inalienable
00:29part of India.
00:49Under international law, the right of self-determination applies to peoples who are under foreign or
00:56called colonial domination and those who have not yet exercised the right to self-determination,
01:06as in the case of Jammu and Kashmir.
01:09We have witnessed, unsurprisingly yet again, an attempt by one delegation to misuse this

01:25utters falsehoods.
01:27We look forward to seeing similar concern and condemnation about the attempts by India
01:35to formalize its illegal annexation of the internationally recognized disputed territory
01:42of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, in complete violation of international law
01:51and
02:14cross-border terrorism, so that our citizens can enjoy their right to life and liberty.
02:21Not only Muslims in the Indian homeland, but the only Muslim majority area in the region

02:45a policy to attempt to transform the Muslim majority into a minority in their homeland.

02:59be an integral and inalienable part of India, irrespective of what the representative of
03:05Pakistan believes or covets.
03:08We call on Pakistan to stop cross-border terrorism, so that our citizens can exercise their right
03:13to life and liberty.
