Dr. Ghulam Nabi Fai, Secretary General, World Kashmir Awareness Forum reminded the world powers of their pledge given to the people of Kashmir as early as in 1948. He said when the Kashmir dispute erupted in 1947-1948, the world powers championed the stand that the future status of Kashmir must be ascertained in accordance with the wishes and aspirations of the people of the territory. They thus constitute a binding and solemn international agreement about the settlement of the Kashmir dispute, Fai said. The tens of thousands who have been killed along with vast human rights abuses seem to go on without end. The UN high Commissioner on Human Rights has recommended an independent, impartial and international mission to visit Kashmir and be given free and complete access to establish an objective assessment of the claims made by the two sides.
