A United Nations spokesperson reiterating the world body’s concerns over the deteriorating human rights situation in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, has said “the concerns we have expressed still stand.”
The UN Deputy Spokesperson, Farhan Haq, made that statement in response to a question about India’s unilateral action in repealing the special status of IIOJK on August 05, 2019, in violation of UN resolutions and international law.
At the regular noon briefing at the UN Headquarters in New York he said, “I would just reiterate the concerns we have expressed, including through the office of UN High Commissioner for Human rights, concerning the human rights situation in Kashmir – the concerns we have expressed still stand.”
Kashmiris and Pakistanis all over the world observed “Youm-e-Istehsal-e-Kashmir’ on August 05 to mark the completion of four years to India’s brutal siege of occupied Kashmir, calling upon the UN to implement its own resolutions that acknowledged the right to self-determination of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
