India has asked the UN human rights body when it will issue a report seeking answers from Pakistan on steps taken to alleviate its concerns on the dire situation in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), including investigations into killings and internet restrictions.
First Secretary at the Permanent Mission of India, Anuj Swarup, delivered India’s statement at the 81st Session of the UNGA Third Committee in the Interactive Dialogue with the High Commissioner for Human Rights on Wednesday (October 14, 2026).
“When can we expect OHCHR to issue a report on the steps taken by the Government of Pakistan on this? Pakistan would do well to look inwards and reflect on how such rights are not being enjoyed in its large part, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and for that matter, in Rawalakot, which is under its illegal occupation,” Mr. “Violent responses to protests in our neighbourhood as well as in the west have gone uncommented. Mr. “Indian citizens exercise rights subject to maintenance of public order and safety.
Swarup said. Needless to say, such double standards contribute to loss of trust in multilateralism and the work of OHCHR,” he said. Swarup said India’s freedom movement led by Mahatma Gandhi stood for non-violence and equality, which also shaped the country’s Constitution that guarantees fundamental rights to every citizen. Our law enforcement authorities act strictly in accordance with the law, and our courts remain available for redressal of any grievance,” he said.
