Kashmir moot in US rejects LoC as permanent border
Pakistan Times Kashmir Desk

WASHINGTON: A two-day Kashmir Peace Conference has called for identifying pragmatic routes to conflict resolution.

A declaration issued at the conclusion of the conference here said the Line of Control in Kashmir [LoC] as a permanent border is "totally unacceptable".

The declaration was unanimously adopted by the experts committee from Pakistan, India and both sides of Kashmir, besides a neutral observer from Norway.

It welcomed the "sensible approach" to resolve the Kashmir dispute through a peaceful negotiated settlement, keeping in view the wishes of the Kashmiri people.

It resolved that the Kashmiris should be included in the peace process, as it would facilitate a permanent and durable settlement of the Kashmir dispute.

The declaration called for cessation of all types of human rights violations in occupied Kashmir and welcomed all Kashmir-specific confidence building measures (CBMs), which will help resolve the dispute.●
