122. Pakistan has at no moment shown any reluctance to hold bilateral talks with India for the settlement of the dispute about Jammu and Kashmir. In the seventeen years during which this problem has festered and grown bitter more than a score of suggestions have been made by eminent mediators and conciliators appointed by the United Nations in order to bring the parties together and move the dispute towards a final solution. Each one of these proposals was designed to meet the objections raised by India to the implementation of the United Nations resolutions on Kashmir. But even though every single proposal was accepted by Pakistan, none could be put into effect because of India's refusal to accept any conditions under which the people of Jammu and Kashmir would be enabled to exercise, in a truly free manner, their right to decide the future affiliation of the State.
