India has slammed Pakistan, Turkey and Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) at United Nation's Human Rights Council (UNHRC) after they raked the Kashmir matter at the Geneva-based body.
The London-based International Council of Jurists has urged the UN Human Rights Council to make China pay "exemplary damages" for its "grave offences against humanity", alleging the coronavirus pandemic is primarily a conspiracy of Beijing to catapult itself as a superpower.
Director of Institute of Gilgit-Baltistan Studies, Senge H Sering, speaking at the 43rd session of UNHRC in Geneva, lambasted on Pakistan saying that they are under constant threat of terrorism perpetrated by Pakistani military and requested India to resume constitutional responsibility and acquire control of Gilgit-Baltistan (Balochistan) to save them from brutal colonial reign of Pakistan.
As the 43rd session of the United Nations Human Rights Commission commences at the headquarters of the UN -- Geneva -- a banner which says 'Pakistan Army Epicenter of International Terrorism' was put up at the iconic broken chair.
Jammu and Kashmir "was, is and shall forever" remain an integral part of India, a top Indian diplomat asserted at the UN Human Rights Council's meeting in Geneva on Wednesday, a day after Pakistan sought the international community's intervention on the Kashmir issue.
Pakistan on Tuesday raked up the Kashmir issue at the UNHRC here and demanded the immediate lifting of the communication restrictions and release of all the political leaders and activists in the Valley, saying any "inaction" by the international community will only "embolden" India.
Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Raveesh Kumar described the Labour Party's move as an attempt at "pandering to vote-bank interests".
Before leaving for Geneva to attend the session, Pakistan's Foreign Affairs Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi had promised his nation a resolution on Kashmir.
Earlier on September 10, at the UNHRC meeting in Geneva, India firmly rejected Pakistan's allegations, saying a "fabricated narrative" on Jammu and Kashmir has come from "the epicentre of global terrorism" and from a nation, which conducts cross-border terrorism as a form of 'alternate diplomacy'.
Two days after India gave a strong rebuttal to Pakistan's offensive on Kashmir at the UNHRC, Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar slammed Islamabad's attempt at "double speak" at the top UN body.

People in these regions, which were part of the undivided Jammu and Kashmir before their forcible annexation by Pakistan in 1947, have been repeatedly demanding end to Pakistani occupation and the human rights violations there.
Harish Salve, former Solicitor General of India, said he is hopeful that Pakistan is treated with contempt by the global community, which it deserves for acts like 26/11.
Pakistan, which has become desperate ever since the government of India abolished the special status of Jammu and Kashmir granted under Article 370 of the Constitution and bifurcated the state in August, is sending its Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi to get the issue raised at the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC).
Mohammad Faisal said another platform available for Pakistan was to raise the issue in the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation's foreign ministers' meeting. Talking about the ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC) by India, he said that the situation was dangerous and both sides were suffering the loss of lives.
India was vying for a seat in the Asia Pacific category. Along with India, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Fiji and Philippines had also staked a claim in the same regional group.
