Washington, DC: The Kashmiri-American Council and the Association of Humanitarian Lawyers are to hold their ‘11th Annual International Kashmir Peace Conference’ at the Capitol Hill on July 29th and July30th, 2010, Dr. Ghulam Nabi Fai announced here. Dr. Fai said the principal theme of the conference this year will be ‘“India-Pakistan Relations: Breaking the Deadlock over Kashmir.’
The primary objective of this conference is to explore various possibilities to set a stage for the settlement of the Kashmir dispute.
Dr. Fai stressed that the international community is upholding the position of principle that the future status of Kashmir must be ascertained in accordance with the wishes and the aspirations of the people. It was also upheld equally by both India and Pakistan when the Kashmir dispute was brought before the Security Council in 1948. The Executive Director emphasized that Kashmiri Americans are mindful of the urgings by the United States that India and Pakistan keep “talking to each other.”
