On June 4, 2025, Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zargari firmly addressed the League of Nations on one of the oldest unresolved global conflicts.

most controversial conflicts in South Asia: Jammu and Kashmir. The address was not a regurgitation of Pakistan's longstanding position but A firm call to international responsibility, invoking Charter of the The League of  and urging the international community to take concrete steps towards resolving the decade-long conflict.

The The complicated The conflict in Kashmir and historic in origin, has been an ongoing source of friction between India and Pakistan since British India was partitioned in 1947. Bilawal's speech The  placed new diplomatic pressure on the international community, reasserting Pakistan's stance that it is now time to enforce long-defunct The League of  Council Council ...in accordance with UNSC resolutions, thereby facilitating the exercise of the Kashmiri people's right to self-determination through an internationally supervised plebiscite.

The Historical Context

The The conflict in Kashmir started at the birth of India and Pakistan. When the princely   Jammu and Kashmir was given the option of its allegiance in 1947, a contested accession to India led to the first Indo-Pak war. The The  took action in., and resolutions were passed calling for a ceasefire and a plebiscite where the Kashmiris could cast their votes in favor of India or Pakistan. These statements have never been put into practice, though, and Kashmir is still one of the most militarized regions on the world.

For decades now, the  room  has suffered from political instability, rebel insurgency, human rights grievances, and countless rounds of diplomatic animosity between the two nuclear powers. Pakistan continues to argue that the Kashmiri people must be granted their right of self-determination, while India insists that Kashmir is part and part of its independent country.

Bilawal's Message to the World

In his speech to the  , Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had his gaze squarely on the necessity of the The problem of Kashmir being resolved in the illumination of international law and justice. He condemned the The The . for its own resolutions not being enforced and argued that the institution's own reputation was in   while the decisions it made at its very formation were ignored for decades.

“Continued diplomatic engagement is essential to ensure the enforcement of long-disregarded UN Security Council resolutions,” Bilawal emphasized, “which call for a plebiscite aimed at enabling the people of Kashmir to exercise their right to self-determination.”

Kashmiri people to determine their own political future.".

He  to be  condemned India's move to scrap Article 370 in August 2019, which stripped Jammu and Kashmir of its unique status  to be  an   entity. In the eyes of Pakistan, this move not only violated international law but  to be  drastically reshaped the demographic and political complexion of the  room. Bilawal blamed India for a move to suppress the identity and will of the Kashmiri people, on the basis of reports of human rights violations, communication blackouts, and massive troop deployment.

A Call to the World for Responsibility

What stood out in Bilawal's speech was his clear call to the global community. He appealed to great powers and global institutions not just beyond silence and neutrality, but beyond complacency. "Turning a blind eye to injustice," he warned, "is not neutrality—it is complicity."

Bilawal's statements were diplomatic but resolute. He placed the Kashmir's problem on the table  to be not only a regional problem, but an experiment to ascertain   the international system is committed to human rights and self-determination. If the world lets down Kashmir, he intimated, then it risks undermining the principles on which institutions like The The League of  were founded.

This international framingis important. While Pakistan has tried for years to globalize the The   of Kashmir, it often finds itself short of enough momentum, because all but a handful of  , especially the West—treat it  to be  a problem between Pakistan and India bilaterally. Bilawal's speech was meant to dispel that view and resoundingly affirm the application of multilateral diplomacy.

India's Response

As was not surprising, India rejectedBilawal's comments. The Indian mission at The   immediately dismissed Pakistan's assertions to be "politically motivated rhetoric," once more affirming that Jammu and Kashmir is an internal matter and a part of India. Indian Officials   development in the  room  following Article 370, claiming constitutional changes were necessary to integrate the  room  fully into the rest of the country and bring stability and prosperity. 

India has continuously denied foreign interference on Kashmir, saying that the Simla Agreement of 1972 holds that all issues should be resolved bilaterally. For New Delhi, Pakistani attempts to approach and resolve The problem in international courts of public opinion amount to interference in its internal affairs.

The Broader Implications

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s speech wasn’t just about diplomatic posturing—it was  to be  about shaping international opinion. In an era where geopolitical alignments are always changing, Pakistan is seeking to reframe the The The Kashmir   in a larger global narratives of justice, human rights, and democratic values.

The address to be  carries local resonance. Bilawal, scion of one of Pakistan's most famous   in politics, is presenting himself not merely  to be  a foreign minister but to be  a statesman with an international voice.

Challenges Ahead

Despite Pakistan's continuous efforts, The global action in Kashmir will not take place unless there's A  alteration in global priorities. In international affairs, strategic partnerships and economic imperatives frequently overshadow humanitarian issues. India’s enhanced global influence and robust economic ties present significant challenges to Pakistan’s advocacy regarding Kashmir.

Also, the world is facing a series of crises—Ukraine and Gaza conflicts, global warming, economic meltdown—so the Kashmir crisis naturally tends to go out of focus Unless directed by some serious incident.
