Russell Tribunal on Kashmir has expressed concern over the grave crimes against humanity, including the genocide occurring in Indian Illegally Occupied territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

Kashmir Civitas, a Canadian registered NGO, partnered with the World Kashmir Awareness Forum, Russell Foundation London, the Permanent People’s Tribunal of Bologna, Italy, Nahla Center for Education and Research, the Center for Advanced Study in Sarajevo, and International University of Sarajevo, to hold the maiden Russell Tribunal on Kashmir in Sarajevo, Bosnia from Friday to Sunday.

The seriousness of these crimes was what motivated the tribunal to bring this to the attention of the world, since it was a direct threat to global peace.

The tribunal brought together key global personalities, academicians and celebrities to highlight the ongoing genocide, massive human rights violations, crimes against humanity, and political oppression of people in the disputed territory of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
