ISLAMABAD - Pakistan welcomes the second report of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights on Jammu and Kashmir, which calls for fully respecting the right to self-determination of the people of Jammu & Kashmir as protected under International Law.

Foreign Office Spokesperson in a statement said we again welcome the Ohchr’s recommendation for the establishment of a commission of inquiry to investigate the gross and Systematic Human Rights violations in Indian Occupied Jammu & Kashmir.

The Report once again recognizes human rights violations in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

It documents in detail the excessive use of Force by the Indian Occupation Forces, the continued use of pellet guns to kill and maim defenseless Civilians, the extrajudicial killings in the garb of so-called cordon and search operations and use of various forms of arbitrary arrests and detentions to target Protestors and Political Dissidents.
