Local Pakistani media outlets reported today (Wednesday) that Islamabad has asked the UN Security Council to take immediate action to protect and protect children in the areas of Jammu and Kashmir.
Munir Akram, Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the United Nations, in a letter to the Security Council, said that Indian forces were deliberately targeting children with their own weapons.
He went on to say: The scale and severity of the dispute over clothes and Kashmir in the region today has reached the point where we must protect children. More than five innocent Kashmiri women and children were killed in the siege and search operation in the area.
Earlier on Tuesday, Antonio Guterres called on the United Nations to monitor human rights abuses in Jammu and Kashmir and urged the Indian government to stop using real bullets against children.
“I urge the Indian government to take precautionary measures to defend children, including the use of bullets against real children, to ensure that children are not caught,” he said, referring to a report on children and trafficking in the UN Security Council. They have security breaches and security guarantees.
