“Expecting global peace without ensuring global justice will be a folly”
said : Senator (R) Lt GEn Abdul Qayyum while addressing a seminar in London arranged by Universal Peace Federation(UPF).
General Abdul Qayyum,
who was invited as a key note speaker, went on to say that to ensure international peace we will have to restructure and reorganise the UN body abolishing right to veto by few countries which do not represent billions of people of Muslim block, African Union and South America. Besides, we will have to standby all oppressed and suppressed nations like Kashmiris and Palestinians who are being killed, maimed and tortured with impunity.

All nations must Religiously abide by UN charter and resolutions is we are really interested in world peace said the Senator. General Abdul Qayyum also recommended immediate recognition of present Afghan government by all countries so that their back is not pushed to the wall because that may again give rise to the terrorist activities which may then be beyond the control of Taliban government and will surely affect world peace.
UN must also facilitate repatriation of about three million Afghan refugees. The seminar had representation from many communities and countries including IRAN, India , Africa, Middle East , South Korea, Europe and South East Asia.
