SAARC reactivation, conflicts resolution urged for peace in South Asia Islamabad April 11, 2021 Islamabad : Expert while speaking at a webinar on Saturday urged the governments to reactivate the South Asia Association of Regional Cooperation (SAARC) to curb the militancy and terrorisms, bilateral conflicts and transboundary challenges confronting the region because of climate change. Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) is the flashpoint between the two nuclear states where violations of human rights are at their peak. The panel of experts urged the non-democratic forces to give a chance to people to strengthen democracy and democratic institutions within their countries. Democracy ensures basic human rights that lead to peace in a society. But, unfortunately the hegemonic approaches and decision making of the governments have excluded the voices of the people. Only the vested interest prevails at the cost of human rights.
