The Legal Forum for Kashmir has released the "Ankara Declaration" rejecting India’s illegal occupation and denial of self-determination to Kashmiris.

The Legal Forum for Kashmir in collaboration with Centre for Economic and Social Research, organized a three-day “International Kashmir Congress” in Ankara, Turkey.

A declaration released on the occasion said the representatives of the people of Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, along with those in solidarity in Ankara, Turkiye solemnly declare that international community has failed in providing justice and protecting the people of Indian occupied Kashmir for many decades.

The declaration said India has flagrantly violated international law, norms, conventions, and treaties in the course of implementation and its unlawful occupation, with the criminal intention of colonizing and annexing Kashmir.

It said the Indian state is aggressively pursuing a fascist agenda in occupied Kashmir and has been perpetrating the war crimes, crime against humanity and crime of aggression and doing so with total impunity and zero accountability.
