The foreign minister said that as the Independent Observers are not allowed to visit the occupied territory, the Council of Human Rights is an effective forum to raise the voice of Kashmiris. The minister said that Pakistan will continue to provide moral, diplomatic, and political support to the oppressed Kashmiri people in their just struggle for the right to self-determination. Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that our other priorities at the UN Human Rights Council will be to sensitize the world about the threat posed by Islamophobia and raise the causes of Muslim Ummah.
