In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference has said the Kashmir dispute is the most glaring example of the United Nations failure as an institution in the protection of the human rights of the people of the occupied territory.

APHC spokesman said this in statement issued in connection with the completion of 73 years to the adoption of the UN Security Council resolution.

He said that the World Body passed several resolutions that recognized the right to self-determination of the Kashmiris and called for settlement of disputed territory a plebiscite.

Meanwhile, a US commission has recommended for the second year in a row that India be placed on a blacklist for religious freedom, saying treatment of minorities had deteriorated further.

The US Commission on International Religious Freedom in its annual report said that “religious freedom conditions in India continued their negative trajectory.”
