GENEVA: At the United Nations, Pakistan has called on the world body to take cognizance of the compelling evidence of India’s war crimes in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
Addressing the UN Security Council’s meeting on Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict Zones, Pakistan’s permanent Ambassador to the United Nations, Munir Akram, stressed that the world body must hold accountable those Indian officials responsible for crimes and grave breaches of international humanitarian law.
Akram informed the House that Pakistan released a comprehensive, well-researched dossier last year containing troubling accounts, corroborated by audio and video evidence of 3,432 cases of war crimes perpetrated by senior officers of the Indian occupation forces since 1989.
Ambassador Akram stated that India is currently using tyrannical measures to convert Kashmir’s Muslim majority into a minority to change the demography of the territory.
He further reiterated that “India has martyred at least 96,000 Kashmiris since 1989 while fake encounters, destruction and burning of homes and properties, use of live ammunition against peaceful protesters, including pellet guns are order of the day in the territory”.
