GENEVA: The UN rights office hammered India and Pakistan on Monday for failing to improve the situation in Kashmir, while renewing calls for an international probe into violations in the disputed Himalayan region.
In a follow up report, the rights office said"neither India nor Pakistan have taken any concrete steps to address the numerous concerns raised". The groundbreaking 2018 findings were particularly hard on India, highlighting"chronic impunity" for misconduct by troops.Pakistan welcomed the 2018 findings even though the UN said obtaining information about Pakistan-administered Kashmir was difficult given restrictions on freedom of expression and information.
It also noted that four major armed groups in Kashmir"are believed to be based on the Pakistan side of the Line of Control," and that civil society organisations blame Pakistani security forces for a series of"enforced disappearances," in the region.
