During its week-long stay in Geneva the Kashmiri delegation besides attending the UNHRC session is scheduled to attend a host of important meetings with the UNHRC high commissioner, Special rapporteurs, diplomats and representatives of international NGOs.

The main objective of the visit is to bring to focus the ongoing human rights violations in Indian Illegally Occupied Kashmir in particular the rising incidents extrajudicial killings, mass destruction of properties, clampdown on dissent, attacks on right to education and religious rights and plight of Kashmiri prisoners.

The delegation would also apprise the world audience of the Indian government’s sinister designs aimed at changing the demographics of the region and its anti-Kashmir policies intended to minimize the majority community’s role in decision making process and reduce their political representation in the legislature by granting voting rights to non-Kashmiris.
