JKCHR endorses Farooq Abdullah’s recognition of Pakistan’s protective advocacy on Kashmir
Jammu and Kashmir Council for Human Rights (JKCHR) endorses Dr Farooq Abdullah’s statement at the Baramulla gathering on 24 October 2026 that Kashmir remains unresolved and that Pakistan’s continued international advocacy helps protect Kashmiris and their identity.
JKCHR regards Pakistan’s support for Kashmiris’ right to a free and impartial vote under United Nations auspices as an essential insurance against demographic engineering, the erosion of Kashmiri identity, and harm to the people and habitat of Jammu and Kashmir.
The accession accepted by India on 27 October 1947 carried a commitment to reference to the people. That promised popular endorsement remains outstanding. India’s subsequent commitments at the United Nations placed the determination of the State’s future within an internationally agreed plebiscite framework.
India must honour the UNCIP template of 13 August 1948 and 5 January 1949. Security Council Resolution 91 of 30 March 1951 expressly affirms that a constituent assembly cannot substitute for the people’s decision through a free and impartial plebiscite under UN auspices. Domestic constitutional measures cannot fulfil that outstanding promise.
The OHCHR Kashmir reports of 14 June 2018 and 8 July 2019 called for full respect for the right of self-determination of the people of Kashmir as protected under international law.
JKCHR demands that the Government of India implement these recommendations, protect fundamental rights, and refrain from measures that prejudice the people’s future choice.
Pakistan’s support is an insurance for the protection of Kashmir’s people. The future of Jammu and Kashmir must be determined by its people through the promised free and fair vote.

Palestinian Culture must and will survive. Its natural beauty is indestructible, as is the spirit.
Sliman Mansour was a leading Palestinian artist whose work captured the Palestinian people’s culture of steadfastness in the face of their ongoing struggles for recognition, rights, and freedom.
@sarkinnomaa Saudia. Penalty for adultery for Muslims is death. Even members of royalty have in recent times been executed. Foreigners declaring themselves as Muslim are dealt with the law of the land, under Islamic guidelines. Had they registered as non-Muslim they would not face death.
Deeply disturbing that Delhi’s historic Race Course Mosque, a gazetted Waqf property since 1977 and a listed heritage site, faces eviction within six days. Equally alarming is the reported failure of the Waqf authorities to defend it. Is this becoming the new normal for Muslim places of worship? This is precisely why we strongly opposed the Waqf amendments and increased government control through appointed nominees over Muslim religious endowments. If even a legally recognised mosque cannot be protected, what safeguards remain for others?

Jewish filmmaker Sarah Friedland uses her Venice Film Festival speech to criticize Israel: "I accept this award on the 336th day of Israel's violations in Gaza and 76th year of occupation.
I stand with the people of Palestine."
For decades, Navi Pillay has been a champion of international law and human rights, and a steadfast, independent voice of justice amidst some of the most historic international legal cases of our time.
I warmly congratulate her on being awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.
There’s a saying: “If one innocent soul is murdered, it is like the whole of humanity is killed” Now I don’t have to tell you, there are no souls more pure and innocent than babies and children. And they’re the biggest victims of this war on Gaza; the pure souls of children, who did nothing to deserve the horror and bloodshed surrounding them and hunting them down, every day and night of their fragile life here on earth.
As smart suited, politicians order their men in uniforms to go forth and destroy our humanity, the future looks over for many chidren before it’s begun.
@Tbabycakes86 Henry Ford was decorated by Hitler for his antisemitic stand. Hence we wont agree with everything from Henry. This is however a quotable quote from him.
