New Delhi: Students of the University Law College of Balochistan were awarded with top honours at the International Moot Court competition for law students of India and Pakistan that was held over the weekend in New Delhi.
The subject was the vexed issue of Kashmir and every aspect of the dispute that has bogged the two countries down in hostility was looked at purely from a legal point of view. Issues that came up for discussion included rights of migrants, which of the two countries were on a right footing legally, the legality of the treaty of accession and whether the UN resolutions on Kashmir are binding.
Talking to The Hindu news, winners Ayesha Bibi, Asmatullah Kakar and Arbab Muhammad Amjad, University Law College principal Adnan Kasi, said “Among the suggestions that emerged at the end of the two-day moot court were amending the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act and Article 370, and having a dialogue that involves representatives of the Kashmiri people brought to the negotiating table through an election held under the watch of the international community.”
The team from Balochistan was one of the five Pakistani teams which participated in the moot court; the other four representing the International Islamic University (Islamabad), the Lahore University of Management Sciences, the Shahid Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology (Karachi), and the University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (Muzaffarabad).
