He noted that the experts\u2019 observations reveal how brutal and discriminatory tactics fail to eliminate extremism, instead deepening grievances and eroding the trust essential for lasting security. The KIIR chief described the intervention as a beacon of accountability and justice at a time when truth is suppressed and the voices of the oppressed are silenced.<\/p>\n<p>The KIIR chairman maintained that the UN experts\u2019 findings were not adversarial but represent the fundamental demands of justice, including disclosing the lists of those detained, clarifying the legal basis for demolitions, and investigating unlawful killings. He urged the Indian government to respond to the mandate holders\u2019 call for independent inquiries, accountability for perpetrators, and a security policy aligned with the principles of justice, warning that continued impunity undermines both local and international confidence in India\u2019s commitments to human rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad: Chairman of the Kashmir Institute of International Relations (KIIR), Altaf Hussain Wani, has expressed his gratitude to United Nations human rights experts for their meticulously documented communication highlighting systemic violations of human rights, state repression, and unlawful demolition of civilian properties in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
