00:00This special status of Kashmir was taken away illegally by India on 5th August 2019.
00:09Nothing happened.
00:10We're simply talking about the human rights of the people of Kashmir and Palestine.
00:16India is changing the demography of Kashmir by making the Muslims from a majority to a minority.
00:24They don't take us seriously.
00:30India is changing the demography of Kashmir by making the Muslims from a majority to a minority.
00:38Now I come to two important political issues.
00:44One is Palestine and the other is Kashmir.
00:49Honourable Foreign Ministers, we have failed both the Palestinians and the people of Kashmir.
00:56I'm sad to say that we have been able to make no impact at all.
01:04They don't take us seriously.
01:07We are a divided house and those powers know it.
01:13We are 1.5 billion people and yet our voice to stop this blatant injustice is insignificant.
01:25We're not talking about conquering some country.
01:28We're simply talking about the human rights of the people of Kashmir and Palestine.
01:36The international law which is on their side.
01:40United Nations Security Council resolutions that back their right in Kashmir.
01:47The international community promised them the right to decide their own destiny through a plebiscite.
01:54That right was never given to them.
01:56In fact, the special status of Kashmir was taken away illegally by India on 5th August 2019.
02:05Nothing happened because they feel no pressure.
02:11They feel we can make a resolution and then back to our usual business.
02:17I'm not talking about altering our foreign policies.
02:21All of our countries have different foreign policies.
02:24But on core issues, I'm asking the OIC that unless we have a united front,
02:34we will keep these abuses happening.
02:38Like in Palestine, there's daylight robbery going on in Palestine.
02:46The only hope I have is because of social media.
02:49First time in western countries, there's awareness of what's going on to the poor Palestinians.
02:54In Kashmir, it's a war crime according to the 4th Geneva Convention to change the demography of an occupied land.
03:05India is changing the demography of Kashmir by making the Muslims from a majority to a minority.
03:13By bringing in settlers from outside.
03:15This is a war crime.
03:17Yet no one has pushed about it.
03:19Neither India has pushed, nor Israel.
03:23Because they think we are ineffective.
03:25So, honourable foreign ministers, let me just say that the way the world is headed,
03:35I'm afraid it's headed the wrong way.
03:39There's a cold war almost started.
03:43There is a chance of the world being divided into blocks.
03:47We 1.5 billion people, unless we are united, unless we take a united stand, we'll be nowhere.
