In his remarks, Ambassador Dr. Zahoor Ahmed reaffirmed Pakistan’s unwavering support for the Kashmiri people in their pursuit of justice and fundamental rights. He underscored that the measures taken by the Indian government on 5 August 2019 constituted serious violations of United Nations Security Council resolutions and the Geneva Conventions governing occupied territories. He stated that the Kashmiri population continues to be deprived of basic rights and freedoms, and stressed that India must honor its international obligations by allowing Kashmiris to exercise their legitimate and inalienable right to self-determination.
