  1. “Pakistan will also share detailed information on grave violations against children in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir with the Office of the Special Representative and the Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict. The Security Council should seek accountability for India’s crimes against children in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.”

  2. “The captured Indian spy commander Kulbhushan Jadhav confessed to India’s support for such terrorist and subversive activities. Moreover, it is India that has sponsored and perpetrated terrorism and aggression against all its neighbours, creating terrorist groups and destabilizing and blockading neighbours to force them to do its strategic bidding while sponsoring subversion, sabotage and terrorism in various parts of Pakistan. I would also like to bring to the Council’s attention the fact that there is no terrorism across the line of control in Jammu and Kashmir. The ceasefire agreed in February 2021 is holding. In conclusion, the mandate of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General is to address the plight of the children affected by armed conflict and is most relevant in cases of foreign occupation.”

  3. “Above all, the report under consideration by the Security Council considers Jammu and Kashmir to be a disputed territory. Children have been killed and subjected to violence in Pakistan in recent years, but that is largely due to terrorist attacks, while Indian forces have been responsible for grave violations against children in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan and the Balochistan Liberation Army are behind those attacks on children in Pakistan, including the cowardly and unfortunate terrorist attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar in 2014, which resulted in the loss of more than 130 innocent children’s lives. We have concrete evidence that those terrorist organizations were financed and sponsored by Indian agencies.”

  4. “I thank you, Sir, for giving me the floor. The representative of India has made some familiar but false assertions. Unfortunately, deflection and disinformation have become a core part of India’s diplomacy today and obviously the biggest example of that is what we have just heard — namely, that Jammu and Kashmir is part of India. Jammu and Kashmir is not part of India now, nor was it ever. That is a legal fiction. All United Nations maps show Jammu and Kashmir as disputed territory. In all its resolutions on the subject, the Council decided that the final disposition of Kashmir should be determined by its people through a United Nations-supervised plebiscite. India accepted that decision and is bound to comply with it in accordance with Article 25 of the Charter of the United Nations.”

  5. “It is perplexing and mind-boggling that in the presence of those examples India is wrongly and illegally asking Pakistan to take action on genocide, while experts and academics are now expressing reservations about the situation of minorities in India. Only recently Mr. Gregory Stanton of Genocide Watch mentioned that India is one of the countries where there is a high probability of an impending genocide. The racist and radical ideology of discrimination against minorities has unfortunately not only infected the social sphere but has also seeped into all the organs of the Indian State — the legislature, the executive and even the judiciary. We ask the Council to demand that India end its State terrorism and abide by its obligations under international law, including the implementation of the resolutions of the Security Council.”

  6. “India’s talk about terrorism and genocide is nothing but a smokescreen for concealing its own State terrorism against Pakistan in occupied Jammu and Kashmir and against its own minorities. It has instigated, sponsored and abetted State terrorism in each of its neighbours, including my own country. Today more than 200 million Muslims, Christians and other minorities face blatant discrimination in India. That is manifested in acts such as the discriminatory citizenship laws aimed at expelling Muslims; the storming of mosques and churches by charged mobs; the harassing and assaulting of worshippers; and encroachments on religious freedoms that have resulted in bizarre policies and legislation, such as the Citizenship Amendment Act and the recent Karnataka hijab ban. Those are just a few examples.”

  7. “Living in this alternative reality, India is defying and flouting international law by illegally occupying the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Only an occupier would oppose the implementation of the Security Council resolutions I mentioned, which promise self-determination to the people of the disputed territory. The people of Jammu and Kashmir have still not been able to exercise their right to self-determination, a right that has been promised to all peoples. The state of Jammu and Kashmir still lingers as an unfinished and incomplete part of the agenda of decolonization. And now, since 5 August 2019, India has been on its way to transforming the occupied territory from a Muslim-majority state into a Hindu territory, in a barefaced violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention and every norm of international law.”

  8. “In response to the statement by the representative of India, I first want to clarify that Jammu and Kashmir is not and never has been a part of India. The resolutions of the Security Council itself define it as disputed territory. That is also printed on all official United Nations maps. Among multiple other resolutions, Security Council resolution 47 (1948) clearly states that the question of the accession of Jammu and Kashmir to India or Pakistan should be decided through the democratic method of a free and impartial plebiscite. India accepted that decision and is bound to comply with it in accordance with Article 25 of the Charter of the United Nations. Its refusal to do so for more than seven decades constitutes a flagrant and continuing violation of Council resolutions and the Charter.”
