The pakistan papers
The document summarizes the context surrounding former Pakistani Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's imprisonment by the military junta led by General Mohammad Zia-ul Haq. Bhutto has been sentenced to death for conspiring to murder a political opponent, though the introduction asserts this is pretextual and that the true reason is to eliminate Bhutto for empowering workers and challenging entrenched interests. The introduction outlines Bhutto's reforms that threatened Pakistan's traditional power structures and his commitment to developing Pakistan's economy and nuclear power. It claims a vast international conspiracy involving Kissinger aims to destabilize the region by removing leaders like Bhutto promoting independence and modernization.
Speeches1957 65
This document contains the full text of a speech delivered by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto before the United Nations General Assembly Sixth Committee on October 25, 1957 regarding defining the concept of aggression. In the speech, Bhutto argues that:
1) Defining aggression is an immensely complex task that requires caution given the delicate nature of the issue.
2) While early UN resolutions assumed defining aggression would ensure peace, further study revealed the definition's connection to peace is complicated and more analysis is needed.
3) Given the current state of international law and lack of centralized enforcement, precisely defining aggression in a way that could not be abused or distorted may not be possible.
Speeches before the security council
This document is a letter from the Government of Pakistan to the President of the UN Security Council requesting an immediate meeting to discuss the situation in Jammu and Kashmir. It summarizes recent actions by the Government of India that violate UN resolutions protecting the special autonomous status of Jammu and Kashmir, including changing titles of government positions, appointing more Hindu ministers, and purging Muslim officers. The letter argues these actions are part of India's plan to annex Jammu and Kashmir against the will of the people and in violation of their right to self-determination as affirmed in UN resolutions.
Reshaping foreign policy
This document provides biographical information about Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and an overview of the contents of a three-volume collection of his writings titled "Politics of the People". It describes Bhutto's early involvement in Pakistan's independence movement and his education in law and political science. It then outlines his career in Pakistan's government, including roles as Commerce Minister and Foreign Minister. The document notes the formation of Bhutto's new political party after leaving government in 1966 and his party's victory in 1970 elections. It concludes by listing the contents of the first volume in the collection, titled "Reshaping Foreign Policy", which contains 27 of Bhutto's speeches, articles and statements from 1948 to 1962 related to Pakistan's foreign policy
Pakistan andalliances
1. The document discusses Pakistan's foreign policy and alliances from the 1960s. It analyzes Pakistan's shifting relations with major world powers like the US, China, and India under President Ayub Khan.
2. Ayub Khan initially aligned Pakistan closely with the US, but later sought to develop relations with China and others, angering the US. The US then pressured Pakistan to improve ties with India instead in order to undermine Pakistan's relations with China.
3. At Tashkent in 1966, Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire with India despite being in a stronger position, losing strategic gains. This was seen as making unnecessary sacrifices to restore relations with the US, which did not improve as hoped
Pakistan and bhutto
The document discusses the political situation in Pakistan in 1977, focusing on the relationship between Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and the military under General Zia-ul-Haq. It describes how Bhutto used the military to quell post-election violence between his PPP party and the opposition PNA alliance. Talks between the two sides broke down, leading the military to take Bhutto into protective custody and impose martial law. General Zia initially said elections would be held under the 1973 constitution, but later detained Bhutto to face trial by a military court.
My pakistan
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto dedicated his life to serving Pakistan and empowering its people. As prime minister in the 1970s, he helped rebuild Pakistan after its breakup by establishing peace with India, developing the economy through industrialization and land reform, and creating Pakistan's first constitution. However, his efforts to shift Pakistan away from Western alliances and his advocacy for a New World Economic Order led to his overthrow in a 1977 military coup and eventual execution in 1979 after a controversial trial. Bhutto believed he was assassinated because he refused to compromise Pakistan's interests, and his death left the nation feeling orphaned.
Marching towards democracy
