UN chief calls for fulfilling UNSC resolutions to settle Kashmir dispute, says Pakistan 'a reliable and generous partner' for hosting millions of Afghan refugees
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres calls for"enhanced dialogue" between India and Pakistan over disputed Kashmir while calling for"full respect for humans rights and continental freedoms" in the region.
"It is clear that we have taken a position about the need for Security Council resolutions to be implemented and for effective de-escalation and dialogue linked to that, with another very important condition which is full respect for humans rights and continental freedoms in Jammu & Kashmir," Guterres said.
"So our strong commitment is clear, human rights must be respected everywhere in the world, but also there," he added. Since 1989, a full-blown armed rebellion has raged in the Indian-administered portion seeking a united Kashmir — either under Pakistani rule or independent of both countries.
