                               RESOLUTION


 
To declare that July 12, 1994, be recognized as ``Kashmir World Action 
                                 Day''.

    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) declares that on July 12, 1994, the world's news media, 
        governmental bodies, and citizens focus attention on the 
        continuous abuse of human rights perpetrated against the 
        Kashmiri people;
            (2) calls on all parties to the Kashmir dispute to abide by 
        international standards of human rights and humanitarian law 
        and cease extrajudicial killings, torture, and other human 
        rights violations;
            (3) calls on the Indian government to restore due process 
        of law and support the initiatives of independent and 
        nongovernmental organizations in monitoring against human 
        rights abuses; and
            (4) calls on the governments of both India and Pakistan to 
        recognize and respond to the call for self-determination, a 
        right which was historically promised but never exercised by 
        the people of Kashmir and to reactivate the role of the United 
        Nations as a catalyst in this process which would include full 
        participation of the Kashmiri people.
