The Conspiratory Shelters – Opinion by Mushtaq Khan

Since 1967, Israel has illegally occupied the Palestinian territories i.e East Jerusalem, Gaza Strip, and the West Bank. An institutional regime of systematic racial oppression has been established through a two-tiered legal and political system, providing comprehensive rights for Jewish Israelis. Settlers impose military rule and control on Palestinians without any basic protections or rights under international law.

The Israeli government engages in the inhuman regular practice of illegitimate killings, the contradiction of basic human rights, arbitrary house arrest & torture. Now the role of the United Nations (UN) is not seen at all in such places and in such issues when that are especially related to Muslims. Instead, just statements are made.

The argument used against membership was the US position that Palestine did not qualify as a state under international law. Nevertheless, the State of Palestine is recognized by 139 member states of the United Nations (UN) and has ratified several treaties that give it access to the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

The United Nations has had many failures, such as stopping the Rwandan genocide in 1994. In addition, UN aid workers were blamed for spreading cholera in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. The United Nations has been accused of sexual misconduct and rape. The massacre of more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men by Serb forces in Srebrenica in 1995 was another UN failure. Similarly in Indain occupied Kashmir and other regions. So this shows that the United Nations has lost its popularity in many countries of the world, especially among the Muslim world.

I was a part and partner of national and international organizations, which gave the younger generation the slogan of empowerment and social patriotism. Then I decided to stay away from them because if these small and big organizations are reviewed, one thing will be found in common and that is that the country’s organizations are under the influence of the foreign powers despite the influence of the countrymen. They have become tools.

Despite the presence of law in Pakistan, such situations and events are taking place day by day which are against the supremacy of law and whose examples are not found in the pages of history.

I was a youth leader from the United Nations (UN). Due to this, I was also given certificates. I attended many of the MUN conferences. Nevertheless, I said goodbye to these organizations and left them forever. One thing I have observed is that often in these international organizations anyone who resembles the British in speech, body language and manners, will succeed.

Even the extent of slavery is that coat ties are made compulsory in the meetings, Conferences held in our country which is a degradation of our traditions.

When faced with a question from these organizations that are not in their interest, they respond by adopting simple words and a slow tone, saying that you can resign from the organization.

These organizations are only exploiting your positive abilities under an unknown mission and only taking positive people under their shadow for their own interests. In the same way, groups of instrumentalists are formed even at a small level in the country. which serve political and personal objectives and these organizations are patronized by various powerful political groups. Who keep making empty slogans of empowering the youth.

One thing is that however different the ideologies and slogans of all these organizations may be, they have one thing in common, and that is that they sing the songs of the powers that they personally benefit from. And I think it is not difficult to buy the ideas of such organizations. Such organizations may go to some extent to achieve external and internal objectives.

There are many small-level organizations working in the country which are trying to revive the dead politics of the present politicians. I joined large-scale domestic and foreign organizations like Model United Nations (MUN) etc. and small-scale organizations within the country like Youth Council Pakistan (YCP) and many other smaller organizations so that I could see their nature and systems closely.

There is a dire need for legislation in Pakistan to control such organizations and bring the nation on a single platform instead of becoming dissident groups within the country. it’s time. Otherwise, I think there are some organizations working in Pakistan that have a lot of power. And some of them, unfortunately, have personal views and such people can become an alarm bell for Pakistan.
