A United Nations spokesman said on Wednesday that the world body's position on Jammu and Kashmir remains "unchanged", saying that the final settlement of the dispute concerning Jammu and Kashmir is to be reached by peaceful means in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and full respect for human rights.
"Our position on Kashmir remains unchanged," Farhan Aziz Haq, the UN's deputy spokesperson, said in response to a question about the deteriorating human rights situation in Kashmir and the continued suffering of the people there following India's annexation of occupied Kashmir on August 5, 2019.
"The position of the United Nations on this region is governed by the Charter of the United Nations and applicable Security Council resolutions," he told reports at the regular noon briefing.
