India has strongly protested UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein’s comments on the Kashmir situation in his annual report and an oral update on human rights developments at the 37th session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
India’s Permanent Representative to the UNHRC Raj Kumar Chander said, Hussein’s update does not reflect the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
Stressing that there is no mention of cross-border terrorism in the report, Mr Chander said, terrorism is the most fundamental violation of human rights. He said, selective and tendentious statements on human rights issues only serve to undermine the credibility of the report.
