Motion text

That this House recognises that the question of self-determination for the people of Kashmir remains unresolved more than 50 years after the creation of India and Pakistan as independent states; wholeheartedly welcomes the new approach being taken by the governments of India and Pakistan to bring a peaceful solution to one of the world's longest running disputes; calls upon all groups to cease human rights violations and allow the free movement of local people and leaders; and reaffirms its belief that Her Majesty's Government should continue vigorously to support the right of the Kasmiri people to determine their own future.
