Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution

The Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution South and South East Asia Working Group presents:

"The Kashmir Dispute: Role of the International Community"

Panelists:

Dr. Ghulam Nabi Fai, President, Kashmir American Council

Dr. Vijay K. Sazawal, International Coordinator, Indo-American Kashmir Forum

Mr. Muhammad Aslam Khan, Deputy Chief of Mission, Embassy of Pakistan

Ambassador John McDonald, Chairman, Institute for Multi-Track Diplomacy

Mr. Frederic Grare, South Asia Scholar, Carnegie Endowment for Int’l Peace

Moderator: Professor Solon Simmons, Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution

The Kashmir conflict is a human and ecological tragedy the international community has paid little attention to since its inception in 1947. Referred to as "paradise lost," its people have lived amidst the fear of death, insecurity, helplessness and unceasing trauma.

The protracted conflict stands as a nuclear flashpoint between India and Pakistan and continues to engender violence in the valley, including summary executions, rape, and torture. The forum seeks to bring together key players, diaspora and scholars to generate a discussion on the potential peace-making role of the international community.
