Islamabad, Global peace is at risk due to the ongoing disputes in Kashmir and Palestine, two of the most prolonged UN-recognized disputes. These regions have been under the occupation of India and Israel respectively. As per the Kashmir Media Service, both territories have been fighting for their right to self-determination, a promise made by the United Nations Security Council in 1948. The struggle against occupation in both regions has persisted for over 75 years. There are reports of violations of international laws by both India in Kashmir and Israel in Palestine. Despite international laws allowing Kashmiris and Palestinians to resist foreign oppression, major global powers have frequently sided with the occupiers.

According to Kashmir Media Service Both the Kashmir and Palestine disputes have historic origins. The Kashmir conflict can be traced back to the partition of India in 1947, while the Israel-Palestine conflict began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Both disputes have attracted global attention, with various nations and organizations attempting mediation. However, attempts at resolution have been hindered by the forces occupying the regions. The ongoing conflicts have resulted in substantial unrest and violence in the Middle East and South Asia. The inability of the UN to enforce its resolutions regarding the political future of Kashmir and Palestine has contributed to the instability of South and West Asia.
