ISLAMABAD: In the backdrop of Kashmir Solidarity Day, Additional Secretary (UN & EC) Tasnim Aslam on Tuesday briefed the ambassadors of Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) countries on the continuously deteriorating human rights situation in Indian occupied Jammu & Kashmir.
The ambassadors were, at the Foreign Office in Islamabad, also briefed on the significance of Kashmir Solidarity Day.
The additional secretary underscored that the Jammu & Kashmir dispute was outstanding on UN Security Council’s agenda with the relevant UN Security Council (UNSC) resolutions remaining unimplemented.

“India has endangered the peace and security of the region by depriving and by refusing to resolve the long pending Kashmir dispute,” she said.
