Role of Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Resolving Kashmir Dispute: Effects on Indian Ocean Diplomacy

Abstract

Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is the representative organizations of the Muslim world. It aims trying to resolve the challenges confronted by Muslim Ummah. One such dispute is the long outstanding dispute on Kashmir between Pakistan and India. Due to unjust division of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) followed by misadventure of Indian military forces in the valley, the people of Kashmir are suffering since 1947. Pakistan mostly strove to use the OIC platform in order to resolve Kashmir dispute in accordance with resolutions of United Nations Organization (UNO) and stop the gross violations of human rights in Kashmir Valley. This article examines the fight resolve contrivance of OIC and in what manner can it be supportive in solving Kashmir problem. Qualitative research has been carried out by studying Kashmir dispute through OIC resolutions and documents. It further investigates into the determinations approved by OIC regarding Kashmir dispute and the defiance of India headed for OIC. Moreover, it scrutinizes the reasons accountable for the shortage of determined struggles by OIC in solving Kashmir dispute. Finally, it gives some recommendations for refining the starring part of OIC relating to the resolve of Kashmir dispute and facilitating both Pakistan and India to twitch an evocative interchange, instead of tapping it on the back burner.
