ACCORDING to research dug up by the Washington-based separatist Kashmiri American Council, Albrights father, Prof. Joseph Korbel, author of Danger in Kashmir, was the first person to be appointed by the United Nations Security Council to be chairman of the UN commission for India and Pakistan. Writing in the New Leader on March 4, 1957, Korbel said: "This new Indian stand raises issues which far transcend the problem of Kashmir. For if a nation which has accepted a UN commitment can blithely assert that circumstances have changed and the commitment is no longer binding, then the effectiveness of the UN has been dealt a staggering blow.... More is at stake in Kashmir than the fate of a remote Asian province. On the UNs handling of this question may depend much of its future moral and political authority."
