International experts and human rights advocates have denounced India’s systematic use of enforced disappearances in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir as a crime against humanity.

Speaking at a seminar organized by the Kashmir Institute of International Relations in Geneva, the speakers demanded that the international community take notice of the issue and hold India accountable for its human rights abuses.

The seminar, held on the sidelines of the 57th session of the UNHRC, was attended by diplomats, human rights defenders, and members of international civil society.
