Comprehensive Analysis - The Pakistani Delegation’s Visit to Brussels and the Confused Narrative on Jammu and Kashmir
By Jamil Maqsood, New Age Islam
17 June 2025
1. Context and Significance of the Visit
The recent visit by a Pakistani state delegation led by Mr. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari to Brussels, and his remarks at the Brussels Press Club, took place against the backdrop of a diminishing international focus on the Jammu & Kashmir conflict. This visit was presumably aimed at reinvigorating Pakistan’s traditional position on the issue — namely, framing it as an “unfinished agenda of partition” and invoking the UN Security Council resolutions of 1948–49.
However, the message conveyed was incoherent and contradictory, exposing the fundamental weaknesses and selective moral framing of Pakistan’s Kashmir policy. Rather than presenting a modern, inclusive, and rights-based vision, the delegation fell back on outdated rhetoric, omitting Pakistan’s own failures in Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK) and Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) — regions that remain politically disenfranchised and under military-influenced governance.
2. Bilawal’s Dual Message: Strategic Ambiguity or Policy Confusion?
Mr. Bilawal’s remarks presented a dual narrative. He claimed that Jammu and Kashmir is an “unfinished agenda of the partition of the Indian subcontinent,” while simultaneously advocating for the “self-determination” of Kashmiris. This attempt to appeal to international legal sentiment through the language of self-determination, without addressing Pakistan’s historical and ongoing violations, revealed deep contradictions.
Two key flaws are evident:
• Historical Oversimplification: Referring to Jammu and Kashmir as a pending matter of partition overlooks the instrument of accession, the multiple wars initiated or fueled by Pakistan, and the strategic use of proxy warfare that has turned Kashmir into a battleground rather than a zone of peace.
• Selective Interpretation of UN Resolutions: The UN Commission for India and Pakistan (UNCIP) Truce Agreement of 13 August 1948 clearly placed the obligation of withdrawal on Pakistan as a precondition for any plebiscite. Pakistan never fulfilled this primary condition, thus invalidating its persistent demand for a plebiscite under that framework.
3. Jamil Maqsood’s Critique: A Pro-Peace, Pro-Justice, Pro-Reunification Perspective
Jamil Maqsood, President of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the United Kashmir People’s National Party (UKPNP), has sharply criticized Pakistan’s contradictory and opportunistic posture on the Kashmir issue. His analysis underscores several undeniable facts:
• Non-Compliance with the UNCIP Truce Agreement: Instead of demilitarizing AJK and GB, Pakistan entrenched military and bureaucratic control, established puppet administrations, and stifled democratic development. These actions are in clear breach of the UNCIP framework that Pakistan cites to justify its position.
• Denial of Political and Constitutional Rights: AJK and GB remain constitutionally marginalized and and constitutionally discriminated in their own territory. These regions have no genuine autonomy, and their governance is tightly controlled by Islamabad via the Ministry of Kashmir Affairs and the Pakistani military establishment. True self-determination is denied to these regions while being advocated externally for Indian-administered Kashmir — a glaring double standard.
• Misrepresentation of UN Resolutions: Pakistan’s selective reading of international resolutions — particularly by omitting its own primary obligations of military withdrawal and non-interference — exposes its strategy of exploiting international law rather than adhering to it.
4. Pakistan’s Non-Compliance with UN Human Rights Reports (2018 & 2019)
Pakistan’s disregard for international norms and recommendations is further illustrated by its complete non-compliance with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights’ reports on Kashmir:
• June 2018 Report: The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) released a landmark report highlighting grave human rights abuses on both sides of the Line of Control. While India rejected the report entirely, Pakistan welcomed it selectively, ignoring the serious concerns raised about Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK) and Gilgit- Baltiatan (GB) — including restrictions on freedom of expression, assembly, and political activity, and the absence of independent judiciary and press.
• July 2019 Follow-up Report: The updated OHCHR report reiterated concerns over Pakistan’s systematic denial of civil and political rights in AJK and GB, and urged the country to:
o Amend laws that curtail freedom of expression.
o Ensure independent functioning of judiciary and local governance.
o Dismantle militant groups operating in the territory.
o Provide 4G internet to the residents of both peripheries.
Pakistan has failed to act on any of these recommendations, further solidifying the perception that its commitment to international norms is rhetorical at best.
5. Complicity with Extremist Organizations and Export of Jihadist Rhetoric
Pakistan’s behaviour on the ground adds to global concerns:
• Tolerance of Proscribed Organizations: Despite being signatory to several international counterterrorism conventions, Pakistan continues to harbour and enable proscribed outfits in Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK), and Gilgit- Baltiatan (GB), under Pakistani control. These groups operate openly, influence politics, intimidate civil society, and fuel sectarian and religious violence.
• Prime Minister of Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK, Advocates Jihad: In a deeply troubling development, the so-called Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir recently made public statements promoting jihad, and reportedly invited Hamas-affiliated individuals to Rawalakot, clearly aimed at linking the Kashmir conflict to international jihadist movements. These actions are not only irresponsible and dangerous, but also in violation of UN Security Council resolutions and international law.
6. International Implications and Eroding Credibility
Pakistan’s approach is backfiring at the diplomatic level:
• International Fatigue with Double Standards: The EU and other democratic governments increasingly view Pakistan’s Kashmir narrative with scepticism, recognizing its inconsistencies and reliance on non-state actors. There is growing preference for indigenous, rights-based, peaceful solutions, such as those advocated by groups like UKPNP.
• Delegitimisation of Pakistan’s Advocacy: By refusing to grant constitutional rights to AJK and GB, by silencing dissent, and by backing extremist elements, Pakistan erodes its own moral standing and undermines its ability to engage meaningfully with global human rights platforms.
7. Conclusion: The Need for an Honest Reappraisal
The Brussels visit was a squandered opportunity for Pakistan to present a modern, constructive narrative on Kashmir. Instead, it reinforced a message of strategic confusion, selective morality, and outright disregard for international obligations.
If Pakistan genuinely seeks a just and peaceful resolution to the Jammu & Kashmir conflict, it must:
• Implement the recommendations of the UNHCHR reports of 2018 and 2019.
• Respect the European Parliament Resolution of 24 May 2007, which urged democratic rights, civil freedoms, and the cessation of extremist operations in AJK and GB.
• Demilitarize Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan and grant them full constitutional rights.
• End patronage of extremist groups, including Hamas-affiliated and other banned organizations.
• Allow free, open, and peaceful political activity, including the expression of pro-reunification and indigenous self-determination movements.
• Embrace an inclusive, rights-based resolution framework, grounded in international law and the genuine will of all peoples of the former princely state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Only such an approach can restore Pakistan’s credibility and help usher in a peaceful and just future for all Kashmiris.

Brussels: The Muddy Mirror of a Europe in Crisis
By Drieu Godefridi June 3, 2025 at 5:00 am
Brussels, the self-proclaimed capital of the European Union, is no longer the beacon of a united Europe, but an advanced symptom of its disintegration. For the past 15 years, the signs of a deep crisis -- political paralysis, an explosion in crime, fiscal bankruptcy, the rise of Islamism and migratory engulfment -- have been piling up, heralding an inevitable tipping point.
The normalization of radical Islamic and anti-Semitic discourse we are witnessing in Brussels is the result of 15 years of leaders abrogating their responsibility. Brussels, through its inability -- or unwillingness -- to make unpleasant but necessary choices, is setting itself up as the first potential locus of protracted European unrest. Even Politico recognizes the scale of the problem. The only question is: When will the Belgian state recognize the failure of a society that has given up on governing itself according to a common law?
1. Structural political paralysis
Almost a year after the regional elections of June 2024, the Brussels-Capital Regional Parliament has yet to produce a governing majority. The traditional parties such as the Socialist Party (PS), the Reformist Movement (MR) and Open VLD - are bogged down in fruitless negotiations, unable to overcome their ideological differences and their fear of offending the different factions of their electorates.
The PS, openly Islamized, refuse any agreement with the centrist parties, preferring to ally itself with the Islamist Team Fouad Ahidar (TFA), a party founded in 2024 by Ahidar, a politician of Moroccan descent who has been a member of the Brussels parliament since 2004, previously representing the PS. The marxist Workers' Party of Belgium (PTB), with 16.1% of the vote in Brussels in 2024, also allies itself with TFA.
TFA embodies a new situation: a political Islam that no longer hides its identity. Instead, it advocates that a religious identity be the underpinning of national cohesion. This fragmentation reflects a profound breakdown in the social contract, between the old European society, which confines religion to the private sphere, and the "new Europeans" (Muslims), who want everything to be subject to their religious doctrine.
Georges-Louis Bouchez, president of the center-right MR, has warned that alliances with forces such as the PTB and the Islamist TFA are "undermining the foundations of liberal democracy."
The paralysis in the government deprives Brussels of any capacity to deal with the crises that are fast piling up.
2. Endemic crime, the result of a failing state
Crime rates are rising everywhere in Brussels, particularly in an area in the spotlight for its frequent shootings: the Bruxelles-Midi Zone (Saint-Gilles, Forest, Anderlecht). Between 2022 and 2023, notes the newspaper L'Echo, robberies and extortion rose by 23%, robberies without weapons by 34%, pickpocketing by 27%, and armed robberies by a staggering 53%. This area is home to five of Brussels' 15 drug-trafficking "hot spots."
The Bruxelles-Midi zone therefore unsurprisingly suffers from a severe shortage of police officers -- 20% of positions remain unfilled -- mainly due to major recruitment difficulties. The reason: the high level of crime.
Districts such as Molenbeek, Schaerbeek and Anderlecht have become places where the lack of security is a life-threatening reality, marked by assaults, drug trafficking, shootings and clashes between gangs.
The murder of a police officer, Thomas Montjoie, on November 10, 2022 in Schaerbeek by Yassine Mahi, an Islamist who had telegraphed his intention to attack police officers on social networks, sparked a deep anger within the police force. Days later, thousands of police officers demonstrated outside the Palais de Justice in Brussels to denounce the absence of both security and any judicial action in the face of violent radicalization.
These failures are, as they say, just the tip of the iceberg: the Belgian justice system releases multi-recidivist delinquents and jihadists. In May 2025, not for the first time, riots involving "youth gangs" rocked several communities. Vehicles were set on fire along with countless attacks on police. The inability to restore law and order has been transforming entire neighborhoods into enclaves where Belgian law no longer applies, and foreshadows their balkanization into Islamic no-go-zones.
3. Inevitable bankruptcy
The Brussels-Capital Region is not merely on the brink of bankruptcy; it is already at the bottom of a financial abyss. In 2024, the regional government's revenues amounted to €5.69 billion, while expenditures reached €6.99 billion euros -- a deficit of more than 20%. Public debt exceeded €10 billion—a staggering 300% of annual revenue -- for a city of just 1.1 million inhabitants.
This situation, compounded by decades of government hand-outs -- subsidies to community associations, ill-targeted social programs and chaotic management of infrastructure (the roads in Brussels are notoriously the worst maintained in Europe) -- makes bankruptcy imminent. Public services, such as transportation, schools and hospitals, are deteriorating, while dependence on federal transfers of money exposes Brussels to systemic risk. If civil servants' salaries or social benefits, which support 30% of Brussels households, were to be suspended, social anger, already seen in recurrent demonstrations, could turn into widespread insurrection.
4. The seemingly unstoppable rise of Islam and anti-Semitism - for the simple reason that no one is stopping them or even trying to
In 2024, Team Fouad Ahidar, driven by Islamic doctrines, achieved significant electoral success, winning three seats in the Brussels-Capital Regional Parliament. Ahidar, who advocates a Muslim identity ahead of any national allegiance, embodies the emergence of an uncomplicated political Islam.
"Fouad Ahidar is a proven pro-Hamas and anti-Semitic figure who served as a member of parliament in Brussels for twenty years," notes Claude Moniquet, a retired journalist and former French intelligence agent.
Ahidar represents only a small part of the wave of antisemitism in Brussels. Jew-hatred, often marketed in unconvincing, transparent disguises as "anti-Zionism," flourishes in many other Islamic-centered and radical left-wing circles. In 2023 alone, anti-Semitic incidents in Belgium -- including physical assaults and vandalizing synagogues -- rose by 65%, mainly in Brussels and Antwerp.
After Hamas's Iranian-backed invasion of Israel on October 7, 2023, many of Brussels' elected representatives made speeches on the "Palestinian resistance", while others denounced "the barbarity of the terrorist state of Israel". In Brussels, the Islamically-inspired terrorist organization Samidoun was still well established, even though it had already been banned in several European countries, including Germany. In short, in Brussels, Jew-hatred enjoys almost total impunity.
5. An uncontrolled flood of migrants
For the past decade, Brussels has been under immigration pressures unparalleled in Europe. As of 2023, 74% of Brussels' population is of foreign background, compared to a European average of 10%. In areas such as Molenbeek, the proportion reaches 86%. This demographic transformation or "great replacement," far from being accompanied by an effective integration policy, has saturated Brussels -- overcrowded schools, overwhelmed hospitals, sorely inadequate housing -- and exacerbated communal tensions.
In 2022, a report revealed that 35% of young people with an immigrant background in Brussels were living in households where nobody has a job -- a breeding ground for delinquency and radicalization. Immigration flows, fed by clandestine people-smuggling networks by way of Turkey and North Africa, continue to expand, while reception centers for "asylum seekers" are already full. The 2015-2016 jihad attacks in Paris (130 murdered) and Brussels (32 murdered), by Muslims radicalized in neighborhoods such as Molenbeek, revealed the consequences of Europe's lax immigration policy. The Belgian authorities, and Brussels in particular, seem to have learned nothing.
Prognosis: Imminent uprisings
Brussels is not only a city in crisis, it is a city on the brink of implosion. The convergence of political paralysis, the disintegration of law and order, budgetary bankruptcy, Islamist sectarianism, Jew-hatred and uncontrolled immigration mark a slippery slope toward violence and chaos. Military intervention, as a desperate response to uncontrollable unrest, might eventually be needed. On that day, the globalist elites, who have turned a blind eye to so many signals, will bear responsibility for a disaster they could have prevented. Brussels, far from being an isolated case, is a small mirror of a Europe that is faltering.

Why Hamas Rejected Witkoff’s Ceasefire Plan
by Khaled Abu Toameh June 4, 2025 at 5:30 am
The leaders of the Iran-backed Hamas terror group do not seem to be in a rush to end the war with Israel: after all, they and their family members are not living in the Gaza Strip, which has been turned into a war zone over the past 20 months.
Hamas's political leaders, billionaires funded by Iran's mullahs and the rulers of Qatar, live in several Arab and Islamic countries, including Qatar, Turkey, Algeria and Lebanon. They and their family members lead luxurious lives in these countries and do not have to worry about lack of food or medicine.
Most of Hamas's military commanders in the Gaza Strip have been hiding in tunnels since the beginning of the war, triggered by the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led invasion of Israel. Mohammed Sinwar, Hamas's military commander, was recently killed in an Israeli airstrike, together with senior officials of the group, while he was hiding in a tunnel beneath a hospital in the city of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
The political and military heads of Hamas initiated a war without preparing Gaza's civilians for an Israeli response. If Hamas figures are to be believed, more than 54,000 Palestinians have died since the beginning of the war. The blood of these Palestinians is on the hands of Hamas, which chose to drag two million residents of the Gaza Strip into a violent and bloody adventure that has brought nothing but death and destruction on them. The blood of these Palestinians is also on the hands of Iran and Qatar, Hamas's largest sponsors and funders.
On October 7, Hamas leaders launched a carefully-planned invasion of Israel, using thousands of terrorists and "ordinary" Palestinians.
More than 1,200 Israelis (and foreign nationals) were murdered and thousands wounded, while another 251 were kidnapped and taken to the Gaza Strip. Fifty-eight hostages are still held captive by the terror group. Only 20 of them are believed to be alive.
Hamas's total disregard for the lives of its own people were clear from the words of Mousa Abu Marzouk, a senior representative of the terror group, a few weeks after the beginning of the war.
In an interview with Russia Today TV, Abu Marzouk, who is based in Qatar, said that the underground tunnels built in the Gaza Strip are to protect Hamas "fighters", while the responsibility to protect Gaza's civilians is not theirs.
"We have built the tunnels because we have no other way of protecting ourselves from being targeted and killed. These tunnels are meant to protect us from the [Israeli] airplanes... and it is the responsibility of the United Nations to protect [Gazan civilians]."
Since the beginning of the war, Abu Marzouk and other Hamas officials have been whining and crying, from their sumptuous villas and five-star hotel suites, about the death of so many Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Hamas leaders, in addition, did not build bomb shelters for their people. Instead, Hamas invested tens of millions of dollars in building a vast network of tunnels to hide its men and weapons. After the war began, the tunnels were used to hide Israeli hostages. The tunnels have also served to shelter Hamas's military commanders and their families.
In late May, Hamas leaders rejected another ceasefire proposal presented by US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff; it did not call for a permanent end to the war with a full Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. Hamas leaders are in no rush to accept any deal because, unlike most of the residents of the Gaza Strip, they do not have to stand in line and risk being shot by Hamas terrorists for trying to receive food from a humanitarian organization (here, here, here and here).
Moreover, the Hamas leadership will never accept any ceasefire without prior permission from the Iranian regime. The mullahs in Tehran also appear in no rush to end the war against Israel. They want the war to continue: it distracts attention from Iran's efforts to acquire nuclear weapons. The mullahs also seem afraid that an end to the war would mean an end to Hamas – one of Iran's major proxies in the Middle East.
Many Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have been speaking out against Hamas, especially after its leaders rejected Witkoff's latest proposal. In videos on social media, Palestinians are seen cursing Hamas and urging it to end the war.
"Our houses have been destroyed, we have lost everything, what are they [Hamas] waiting for?" said a man in Gaza. "We are civilians, we are hungry, and our children are getting killed. We have no place to go."
Such voices do not mean anything to Hamas leaders. For them, the No. 1 priority is to make sure that Hamas remains in power the day after the war – the main reason Hamas's leaders have made it clear that their group will not lay down its weapons. They know that whoever maintains a military-security presence in the Gaza Strip controls the entire coastal strip and will control any government that forms there after the war.
Hamas rejected Witkoff's proposal because it wants to continue its jihad (holy war) against Israel. As far as Hamas is concerned, October 7, 2023 was just another phase in its jihad to kill Jews and destroy Israel.
Hamas's leaders do not care if 50,000 or 100,000 Palestinians are killed as a result of their refusal to release the hostages, disarm, and relinquish control of the Gaza Strip. For Hamas, "the end" (eliminating Israel) justifies "the means" (sacrificing Palestinians as "martyrs" in the jihad against Israel).
That is why there is no alternative to a total defeat of Hamas and its removal not only from power, but also from the entire Palestinian arena.
If Hamas is allowed to stay in power after the war, it will be bad news not only for Israel, but also for Palestinians who oppose the terror group. However, Hamas staying in power would be great news for the Iranian regime, jihadis, and Islamist terror groups who consider the US the "Great Satan" and are committed to killing Americans, Christians, Jews and all other "infidels."
