New Delhi: A few days after India canceled talks with Pakistan, the neighboring country seized the Kashmir issue with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. According to a report published in Pakistan by Geo News, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi told the UN Secretary-General that the Kashmir conflict with India must be resolved according to the wishes of the local population.
He even alleged that there were human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir. Qureshi quoted the report in which he alleged a violation of human rights in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Kashmir (PoK) and demanded an international investigation into it. In its first report on human rights in the region, the UN issued a directive in Pakistan aimed at ending the "misuse" of anti-terrorism legislation to persecute militants and suppress dissenting voices.

However, India criticized the UN report and described it as "a selective compilation of largely unverified statements", adding that it "violated the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India" and handed over in question the intention behind it. "The whole state of Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India. Pakistan is in the illegal and forced occupation of part of the Indian state by aggression, "MEA statement said.
The UN report focused on the alleged violations of Jammu and Kashmir from July 2016 to April 2018. According to United Nations estimates, approximately 145 civilians were reportedly killed by security forces.
Recently, India canceled talks at the Foreign Ministry level with Pakistan, accusing Pakistan of the killing of three soldiers in Jammu and Shopian in Kashmir.
