Pakistan’s permanent representative to the United Nations Dr. Maleeha Lodhi says India’s denial of the un-pledged right to self determination to the Kashmiri people is a telling example of its impunity.

Speaking at the general assembly's third committee, which deals with social, humanitarian and cultural questions, she said when they demand this right, the people of Jammu and Kashmir are met with repression and ruthless human rights abuses at the hands of Indian occupying forces.

Pakistani envoy said the detailed June 14 report of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights had "lifted the veil from decades of obfuscation of massive violations" of human rights in Indian occupied Kashmir.

She said the situation remains a blot on the conscience of humanity, and one that demands immediate corrective action.
