The resolution reaffirms New York’s commitment to championing human rights and upholding the fundamental freedoms of religion, movement, and expression for all Kashmiri people.
This recognition serves as a powerful message of solidarity with the Kashmiri community and highlights the growing international awareness of their ongoing struggle for justice and self-determination.
