ISLAMABAD – A side event at UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has concludedthat international pressure on India to prevent a war with Pakistan hasopened the door to a similar intervention to resolve Kashmir conflict.

The human rights defenders noted that international pressure on New Delhiis a positive development and that strengthens the case for a similarintervention in Kashmir.
