Pakistan urges UN body to address India's IIOJK abuses

UNITED NATIONS:

Reaffirming its unwavering support for the UN Human Rights Council, Pakistan has called on the 47-member body to exert its prevention decree proactively to uphold international law and protect the rights of all occupied and oppressed peoples without discrimination, including in Palestine and Jammu and Kashmir.

Noting that the Geneva-based Council covers both long-standing crises and emerging issues, Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, permanent representative of Pakistan to the United Nations, said in a speech to the UN General Assembly that it must maintain a balanced focus across all categories of rights.
