  1. Question 1

    Q1. Pakistan chairs the OIC contact group on Jammu and Kashmir. A major Muslim country proposes replacing the Kashmir resolution's self-determination language with vaguer human rights language to appease India. Pakistan should

    • A) Accept the compromise to maintain Muslim world unity
    • B) Firmly oppose the dilution, presenting legal arguments based on UN Security Council resolutions 47 and 80 that established the self-determination mandate
    • C) Agree only if India makes concurrent concessions on troop withdrawals from Kashmir
    • D) Threaten to withdraw from the OIC contact group if the language is changed

    Answer: Firmly oppose the dilution, presenting legal arguments based on UN Security Council resolutions 47 and 80 that established the self-determination mandate

    Explanation: UN Security Council Resolutions 47 (1948) and 80 (1950) explicitly call for a free and impartial plebiscite to determine the future of Jammu and Kashmir; replacing self-determination language with vaguer human rights language would abandon Pakistan's long-standing legal position.
