World must not remain indifferent to tragedy unfolding in Kashmir, Qureshi tells UN Rights Council

2019-09-11

[DAWN] Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Wormtongue Qureshi
Mehmood <q>Wormtongue</q> Qureshi

...a Pak political shape-changer. He is undistinguished except for his habit of periodically needing to have his lips reattached...
on Tuesday said that the international community "must not remain indifferent to the tragedy that is unfolding before our eyes" in occupied Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
Addressing the 42nd session of the United Nations
...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
Human Rights Council in Geneva, Qureshi while referring to India's recent actions in Kashmir said: "Today, I have knocked on the doors of the Human Rights Council, the repository of the world’s conscience on human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
, to seek justice and respect for the people of Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

"We must not allow this august body to be embarrassed on the world stage. As a founding member of this council, Pakistain feels morally and ethically bound to prevent this from occurring," he stressed, adding that in order to do so the body should not remain indifferent to the tragedy that was unfolding in Kashmir.

"We must not let political, commercial, and parochial considerations cloud and impair our thoughts and action.

"We must act decisively and with conviction."

Qureshi urged the UNHRC to "pay heed to the plight of the Kashmiri people" and to address the warning signs of a "looming human catastrophe".

#5 re #3: Dron, they probably mean they were among the first of the human rights "champions" to sit on the Human Rights Council.

Of course, the HRC is mostly about bashing Israel, so poor Pakistain may not get any attention.

#4 There are a couple good Italian restaurants in the area we make pilgrimages to on a regular basis.

Do those count?

#2 Oh and do they care about the Sioux holy land of the Black Hills? How about other tribes and peoples? Every one of them has some Holy Land or site.
