Awan informed the meeting that Pakistan would emphasize the violation of ‘human rights and genocide in Indian-occupied Kashmir.’ An international lawyers’ panel will be hired to present Pakistan’s case before the world court.

This move follows Pakistan’s efforts to highlight the Kashmir issue in front of the international community after India revoked its special status unilaterally. While abrogating Article 370 of its constitution, India has imposed a curfew and other restrictions in the valley.
