  1. Question 1

    Q1. Pakistan's Ambassador to the UN consistently raised the Kashmir issue at the UN General Assembly and Human Rights Council between 2022 and 2024, particularly after India's 2019 revocation of Article 370. However, Pakistan faces increasing difficulty securing resolutions on Kashmir. A foreign policy strategist should recommend which approach to revitalize international attention on Kashmir?

    • A) Filing a formal case against India at the International Criminal Court citing collective punishment of Kashmiris
    • B) Requesting China to raise Kashmir at the UN Security Council to force a formal vote that would publicize the issue even if vetoed
    • C) Strengthening the Kashmir case through documentation of human rights violations that can be referenced by UN Special Rapporteurs, building coalitions through OIC and like-minded nations, and internationalizing the economic and demographic changes post-Article 370 revocation
    • D) Launching a petition drive among the 57 OIC member states to collectively downgrade diplomatic relations with India until Kashmir's status is resolved

    Answer: Strengthening the Kashmir case through documentation of human rights violations that can be referenced by UN Special Rapporteurs, building coalitions through OIC and like-minded nations, and internationalizing the economic and demographic changes post-Article 370 revocation

    Explanation: Systematic documentation of human rights violations for UN Special Rapporteurs, coalition-building through the OIC, and internationalising the demographic and economic changes in Kashmir post-Article 370 creates a sustainable, evidence-based international advocacy strategy. Attempting ICC referrals or forcing Security Council vetoes without sufficient coalition support would be procedurally weak and diplomatically counterproductive.
