Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has urged the United Nations to play its due role in resolving the decades old Kashmir dispute as per its own resolutions and wishes of the Kashmiri people.

He was addressing a function at the foreign office in Islamabad on Wednesday in connection with the United Nations Day, which was observed on Wednesday.

The Foreign Minister asked the world body to send a commission of inquiry to probe human rights abuses in occupied Kashmir by the Indian forces as documented in the UN Human Rights Commission's report.

He said on its part, Pakistan is ready to partner any global effort to promote peace and stability in the region and the world at large.

Shah Mehmood Qureshi has said that Pakistan has played a pivotal role in the UN peacekeeping missions across the world, as it believes in peace all over the world. He said 156 Pakistani peacekeepers have sacrificed their lives to achieve this goal.

In his remarks on the occasion, UN Resident Coordinator to Pakistan Neil Buhne said the UN has also issued its report on human rights violations in Occupied Kashmir.

The UN Representative said that the world body is ready to play its role in the resolution of Kashmir dispute provided India and Pakistan agree to it.
