Pakistan had last week approached the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to raise the issue after China had formally asked for closed consultations in the United Nations Security Council to discuss India revoking the special status to Jammu and Kashmir.

Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Tuesday said that his country will take the Kashmir issue and Pakistan’s dispute with India over the region to the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

“We have decided to take Kashmir case to the International Court of Justice. The decision was taken after considering all legal aspects,” Shah Mehmood Qureshi said while talking to ARY News TV.

Pakistan had last week approached the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to raise the issue after China had formally asked for closed consultations in the United Nations Security Council to discuss India revoking the special status to Jammu and Kashmir.

The UNSC had agreed to hold a closed-door meeting to discuss India’s move to revoke Article 370 following which the world body met on August 16 to discuss India’s move to revoke Article 370.

However, India scored a big win over Pakistan as the UNSC, in a closed consultation, acknowledged India’s measures to bring normalcy and development to Kashmir and wanted all countries to follow suit.
