Pakistan’s role in NAM
• PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES: In view of the
unresolved Kashmir issue, it has been our efforts that the
NAM decisions reflect an emphasis on peaceful
settlement of disputes.
• Therefore, consistently urged the Movement to evolve a
mechanism for conflict resolution. In this context, the
Final Document of the 12th NAM Summit, held in Durban,
had reiterated the need to secure a peaceful settlement
of all outstanding issues in South Asia.
Cont.
• NUCLEAR ISSUE: Pakistan has fully supported NAM’s
principled position on the issue of global nuclear
disarmament within a time-bound framework. On the
question of the South Asian nuclear tests, the 12 th NAM
Summit affirmed “the need for bilateral dialogue to secure
peaceful solutions to all outstanding issues and the
promotion of confidence and security building measures
and mutual trust”.
• This is a clear endorsement of Pakistan’s position that a
solution to the situation arising from the nuclear tests
cannot be promoted in an atmosphere of pressure.
Cont.
• SELF-DETERMINATION : NAM has constantly working for the
fundamental right of all peoples to self-determination, the
exercise of which, in the case of peoples under colonial or alien
domination and foreign occupation, is essential to ensure the
eradication of all these situations and to guarantee universal
respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.
• In this regard, the Movement has strongly condemned ongoing
brutal repression of the legitimate aspirations for self-
determination of peoples under colonial, alien domination and
foreign occupation in various regions of the world.
Cont.
•TERRORISM: The 12th NAM Summit had stressed the
need to combat terrorism in all its forms and
manifestations, regardless of race, religion or nationality
of the victims or perpetrators of terrorism.
•The Summit, however, endorsed, in principle, the call for
the definition of terrorism and to differentiate it from the
legitimate struggle of peoples under colonial or alien
domination and foreign occupation, for self-determination
and national liberation.
Cont.
• EXPANSION OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL: Since NAM
predominantly comprises developing countries, it has reliably
paid considerable attention on economic issues. The
Movement has maintained its long-standing position on the
need for conscious steps to regulate the market measures as a
means of ensuring that growth in the world economy and trade
is both dynamic as well as unbiased.
• Pakistan desires to see NAM play an increasingly effective role
in all international forums, particularly in the United Nations. It
is important that the Movement safeguards and preserves the
principled positions evolved by it on a wide range of
international issues.
Analysis
• Pakistan's participation in international organizations,
including UNO, OIC and the NAM, reflect its desire to be
an influential player in the geographic region of which it
is a part.
• In addition, Pakistan has played a leading role in the OIC,
and President Zia was instrumental in energizing the OIC
as a forum for periodic meetings of the heads of Islamic
states. Pakistan thus appears firmly committed to the
utility of broad-based international cooperation.
