PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
SELF-DETERMINATION FOR PEOPLE OF KASHMIR (19 June 2005)

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 the UK Government should continue vigorously to support the right of the Kashmiri people to determine its own future.
