Dr Nazir Hussain highlighted that Kashmir remains the unfinished agenda of Partition. As a State Party to the ICCPR, India is legally bound by Article 6, which guarantees the right to life in all territories under its control, including Jammu & Kashmir. Pakistan’s position, he emphasized, rests firmly on international law and UN Security Council resolutions, underscoring the need for a consistent, principled approach to resolving the dispute.

I’m absolutely delighted to be part of the e-book launch by RCSS @RCSSwire to celebrate the important work of Abdul Waris Hameed @A_WarisHameed, our Research Associate at Centre for Security, Strategy and Policy Research @CSSPR_UOL and Lecturer at the School of Integrated Social Sciences.

Waris’s research on South Asian Climate Diplomacy and Collective Risk Mitigation Strategies could not be more timely or urgent. At a moment when climate insecurity is intensifying across South Asia, his work brings sharp focus to how regional dialogue, cooperative mechanisms, and a shared climate regime can offer pathways out of fragmentation and distrust. Read his e-book here: https://t.co/g3sg6DmPpl

This research takes on added significance in a context where established frameworks like the Indus Waters Treaty are now unfortunately in political abeyance, and the regional space for dialogue is shrinking. When even time-tested instruments of cooperation are under strain, reimagining climate diplomacy as a tool for collective survival becomes not only relevant but essential.

Waris’s selection as the Shelton U. Kodikara Fellowship 2024 recipient is a recognition of both the quality of his research and the importance of the questions he is asking. I want to especially thank Dr. Nazir Hussain @Sheeshgar1, his mentor and supervisor, for his steadfast dedication to guiding young scholars and advancing regional understanding. His mentorship has clearly helped shape a powerful and policy-relevant contribution.

I also extend my deepest appreciation to Dr. George I. H. Cooke, Executive Director of the Regional Centre for Strategic Studies - RCSS, for his leadership and for making RCSS a vibrant platform for innovative, cross-border research. RCSS continues to set the standard for intellectually rigorous and forward-looking scholarship in South Asia.

At CSSPR, we are proud to support work like Waris’s, grounded, future-focused, and deeply committed to rethinking security through the lens of climate. Congratulations, Waris. This is a milestone worth celebrating, and I have no doubt that your contributions will only grow more impactful from here.
