Pakistan has strongly condemned India at the 63rd session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, accusing New Delhi of avoiding scrutiny regarding human rights in Jammu and Kashmir and the treatment of minorities. First Secretary Adeel M. Khokhar asserted that Jammu and Kashmir is a disputed territory, rejecting India’s claims of it being an integral part of the country, and referencing relevant UN Security Council resolutions. Khokhar criticized India’s refusal to hold a plebiscite in Jammu and Kashmir, suggesting a lack of confidence in its claim to the region. He further highlighted documented instances of extrajudicial killings, arbitrary detention, and torture of Kashmiris by Indian forces, citing reports from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. The Pakistani delegate also raised concerns about the Armed Forces Special Powers Act and its impact on accountability. Furthermore, Pakistan criticised changes to domicile and land laws in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir since August 5, 2019, alleging attempts to alter the region’s demographic makeup and raised concerns regarding the destruction of Muslim places of worship throughout India.
