Another failed attempt. UN should visit Balochistan and Khyber in tandem. Then visit Kahmiri pandits.

Kashmir is a disputed UN issue. They are welcome to visit all Pakistan but they will visit all of your 28 states which want to be be separated from Central India . Just now Tamil Nadu want to be separated like Assam, manipur, nagaland and so on. India is recipe of disaster, which will explode into tinny states like it used to be.

The riots down south was a water sharing issue between Karnataka state government and Tamil Nadu state government.

UNITED NATIONS: The deteriorating situation in India-held Kashmir has now made it crucial to establish an independent, impartial and international mission to assess the situation, the UN human rights chief has said, while regretting India's lack of response to his request for access to its controlled part of the disputed state.

UN rights chief Zeid Raad al-Hussein told the Geneva-based Human Rights Council that he received a letter from the Government of Pakistan on Sept 9 formally inviting a team from his office to visit Azad Kashmir but only in tandem with a mission to the Indian side.

“I have yet to receive a formal letter from the government of India. I therefore request here and publicly, from the two governments, access that is unconditional to both sides of the Line of Control,” he said.

“Two months ago, I requested the agreement of the governments of India and Pakistan to invite teams from my office to visit both sides of the Line of Control: in other words, the India-administered Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan-administered Kashmir,” Zeid said in remarks delivered on Tuesday at the opening session of HRC.

“We furthermore received conflicting narratives from the two sides as to the cause for the confrontations and the reported large numbers of people killed and wounded. I believe an independent, impartial and international mission is now needed crucially and that it should be given free and complete access to establish an objective assessment of the claims made by the two sides,” he said.

The top UN official also said that they continue receiving reports of Indian forces using force excessively against civilian population under its administration.

The Indian government has been coming under growing pressure over the level of casualties in the region during protests against Indian rule, which broke out after the death of a popular rebel leader on July 8 during a gunbattle with soldiers.

More than 70 civilians have been killed and thousands injured in the worst violence to hit the territory since 2010.

In spite of a lockdown, anti-India protesters have called for a march to the UN office in Srinagar. Tensions have been further heightened due to Eidul Azha, with heavy deployment of Indian troops across the valley even though there is a continuing ban on public assembly this year.

The opening statement of the UN high commissioner for human rights at the HRC focused on issues of access of the UN to troubled areas and the growing trend of an increasing number of countries to refuse to grant access to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) or other human rights mechanisms to their countries or specific troubled regions.

Governments accuse the OHCHR of “interfering” in the internal affairs of sovereign states when violations of human rights are pointed out to them and his statements referring to these violations are termed “biased”, “irresponsible”, “misleading” or based on “false” premises, Zeid said in a hard-hitting statement.

Quoting the Vienna Declaration which states that “the promotion and protection of all human rights is a legitimate concern of the international community”, he argued that human rights is not exclusively a national issue.

Apart from India and Pakistan, the high commissioner referred to Syria, Venezuela, Turkey, Ethiopia, Gambia, Burundi, China, Nepal, the US (for refusing access to Guantanamo Bay), Israel, Iran, North Korea, among other countries for non-cooperation with UN human rights mechanisms.

“Human rights violations will not disappear if a government blocks access to international observers and then invests in a public relations campaign to offset any unwanted publicity. On the contrary, efforts to duck or refuse legitimate scrutiny raise an obvious question: what, precisely, are you hiding from us?” he said.

The people of Indian-Occupied J&K are subject to the worst human rights violations and the most brutal oppression by Indian forces for a prolonged period now. The occupying forces target the peaceful civilian demonstrators with pallet guns shooting directly in their heads and faces. The Kashmiri children and youth are the special target of these pallet guns fire. The grave crimes committed by the Indian forces amount to genocide of the people of J&K. Their only crime is that they are having peaceful rallies against the illegal Indian occupation of their territory in continued and grave violation of UN resolutions. People are facing curfew for more than two months now. Scores have been killed in just these two months and thousands have been seriously wounded including those who lost their eyes to the pallet gun shots fired by occupation forces.
While the people of Kashmir are being brutalized by Indian forces, Indians have laid down an iron curtain in occupied J&K to hide their genocide and grave war crimes in the occupied territory. They have already expelled UN observers from the occupied territory. Amnesty International India tried to raise its voice against Indian forces' inhuman treatment of the people of occupied J&K but a sedition case was registered against its officials to silence their voice too. Now the UN human rights chief says that the deteriorating situation in India-occupied Kashmir has now made it crucial to establish an independent, impartial and international mission to assess the situation there. The occupied territory is in complete siege of Indian occupation forces. It's the time that international community feels the disgrace caused by the grave war crimes against humanity by Indian forces in occupied J&K. The UN observers, Amnesty International, UN human rights commission, and other similar bodies can only expose the war crimes of Indians. These organizations have no power to stop the violations or punish the animals that are disgracing humanity in occupied J&K. It is the responsibility of civilized world to bring a halt to the brutalities and war crimes against innocent people. The people of the occupied territory have shown time and again that they are not a part of India. They have been staging peaceful rallies to prove that and will keep doing so despite the brutal and bloody oppression by the Indian forces until the world conscious wakes up and they get their right of self-determination as promised to them by the world community at the UN.

Referendum is no option here, Pak can try out whatever it can. Nothing going to happen other than stone pelters get pellets and who took guns get bullets over their body. Feel free to try. This forum daily 3-5 threads open regarding J&K from its start, any thing happen yet? Answer is a Big NO. Congrats for UNHRC and UNGA to try.

Every action have equal and more strong response form us.

Insha Malik, the 14-year-old Kashmiri girl blinded by the Indian forces with pellet-guns: the pellets not only made her lose her sight forever, but reached her brain, causing a deadly infection. The doctors say that she keeps crying in pain, and there is not much they can do.
