The Jammu and Kashmir conflict remains one of the oldest UN agenda items. However,
despite the genuine plight and legitimate demand for the right to self-determination,
Kashmiris in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir continue to struggle for their
lives and livelihoods under Indian oppression and state-sponsored terrorism without
respite. According to scholars, Indian forces have committed many human rights cases of abuse and acts of terror against the Kashmiri civilian population, including extrajudicial killing, rape, torture, and enforced disappearances.
