OHCHR remote monitoring report released

Press Release

14 June 2018

JKCCS and APDP welcome today’s important report by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), Geneva. This is the first report by the United Nations exclusively on Indian administered (IaK) and Pakistan administered (PaK) Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). After continually being denied access since 2016, the OHCHR has based this report (49 pages in total) on its remote monitoring of the situation on ground, with closer attention to the period of July 2016 to April 2018.

Completing 20 years of struggle for a world without desaparecidos, AFAD has to persist in rendering itself irrelevant.
