Srinagar , June 22, 2018 (KNO) : Chairman Hurriyat Conference, Syed Ali Geelani, has welcomed the decision of Pakistan to allow United Nations Commission for assessment of human rights in Azad Kashmir.
“While it’s a welcome development that Pakistan have agreed to allow UNHRC to visit Azad Kashmir as proposed in a recent UN report to Pakistan-administered Kashmir. Geelani welcomed the office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) report’s recommendation for an independent, international Commission of Inquiry on Kashmir. It is a welcome step, said Geelani, saying India must not shy away from this international obligation if it has nothing to hide. Geelani expressed his satisfaction over the UNHRC reports about detailed atrocities perpetrated by Indian forces, SOG and other armed personal in occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Until Kashmir issue is resolved, ‘dance of death and destruction will have no end’, Geelani said and stressed upon the world body to fulfil its commitments made to the people through the implementation of its Security Council resolutions and “once again reiterated that until Kashmir issue is resolved, the dance of death and destruction will have no end”.
Huriyat chairman in his statement urged UNHRC chief to take cognizance off deteriorating human values and prevailing bloodshed in occupied state and urged UN General Secretary to use his good offices “to take steps for its peaceful resolution and for putting an end to bloodshed at the hands of Indian forces in the state”. He also expressed hope that world leadership will play a positive role regarding Kashmir dispute by taking practical steps towards finding its solution.
