Islamabad: Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi informed Security Council President and UN Secretary General António Guterres of the deteriorating rights situation in Indian-occupied Kashmir.
In a letter, Qureshi pointed out that all illegal and unilateral measures imposed by India in Kashmir in the wake of 5 August 2019, including attempts to change the demographic structure of the occupied territory, were flagrant violations of international law, including the United Nations Charter, Security Council Resolutions and IV Geneva Convention.
He said that a fair settlement of the dispute is essential for lasting peace and stability in South Asia.
It also reaffirmed Pakistan’s desire for peaceful relations with all its neighbors, including India.
