This France's prominent role in solving the global conflicts represents an
interesting case study because in spite of its size (only 1% of the population of the
world), it maintains the largest diplomatic network (152 embassies worldwide). With
this diplomatic network France plays more significant role than its size in global
affairs. Its representation in United Nations Peace Keeping Missions is ranked 2nd
among the EU members and UNSC permanent members. This network also helps
France to achieve its international ambitions means to play the role of a mediator
among conflicting parties or show its existence as counter force in the global
conflicts and issues. In Asia, an issue - Kashmir conflict - which poisoned South
Asian politics almost last 70 years and very much compatible with all French global
ambitions felt to be totally ignored by French policy makers. Although since the
beginning, France acknowledged Kashmir as conflicting region between Pakistan
and India yet it never expressed its independent opinion on the issue like it did on
certain global conflicts i.e. Iraq/Syrian war, Bosnia-Serbia conflict or some issues
linked to African regions. It supported all the UN efforts to solve the Kashmir conflict
yet its support heavily influenced by Anglo-American opinion and its own regional
financial interests. So, France, a representative of politics of grandeur, existing soul
of European Union and decisive factor in global affairs never transformed French
moral support to the right of Kashmiri people into a practical help in the form of
mediation for the solution of the conflict. The research has been conducted to find
out why, France, in spite of being a champion of human rights, self-determination
and non- proliferation is so indifferent and unconcerned to the Kashmir conflict, the
oldest unresolved issue of the modern age. The research concludes that French
policy makers through the years could not make Kashmir conflict as a priority
because they considers it asan Asian issue where Anglo-American interests lies and
which non-solution could not damage French strategic or economic interests in the
region.
