ISLAMABAD – Pakistan has called upon the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) for action in the Indian occupied territory of Jammu and Kashmir and said the council must ensure realization of Kashmiri people’s fundamental rights, and hold India accountable for its widely documented human rights crimes.

The demand was made by Ambassador Khalil Hashmi, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN, in Geneva, during virtual Interactive Dialogue on High Commissioner for Human Rights’ Annual Report at the 47th session of Human Rights Council.

“We welcome the High Commissioner’s continued monitoring and reporting of the situation in Indian Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IOJ&K)”, Ambassador Hashmi remarked. He said since the 2nd Kashmir Report two years ago, the human rights conditions in the occupied territory have further deteriorated as a result of India’s illegal actions of 5th August 2019.
