Pakistan welcomes UN rights office's report on Jammu and Kashmir, says situation in PoK not same as Gilgit-Baltistan

Firstpost  

Pakistan on Monday welcomed the UN rights office’s report on the situation in Jammu and Kashmir. Islamabad: Pakistan on Monday welcomed the UN rights office’s report on the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, but said there was no parallel between the human rights situation in Kashmir and the environment in PoK and Gilgit-Baltistan. The Geneva-based Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, which last year released its first-ever report on Kashmir, issued an ‘update’ of the 2018 report on Monday, claiming that “neither India nor Pakistan has taken any concrete steps to address the numerous concerns raised”. The report said the civilian casualties reported in Kashmir and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir from May 2018 to April 2019 may be the highest in over a decade and called on the UN Human Rights Council to consider “the possible establishment of a commission of inquiry to conduct a comprehensive independent international investigations into allegations of human rights violations in Kashmir”. While appreciating the report’s efforts to document the alleged human rights violations in Kashmir, Pakistan reiterated that “there is simply no parallel” between the human rights situation in the Valley and the prevailing environment in PoK and Gilgit-Baltistan.
