Pakistan has urged the United Nations (UN) to address specific cases of missing persons in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

Speaking at an Arria Formula meeting at the UN headquarters in New York, Deputy Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the UN, Ambassador Usman Jadoon said the cases of missing persons in IIOJK have led to the tragic phenomenon of half widows, referring to Kashmiri women who live in uncertainty about the fate of their husbands, sons, and brothers.

According to a Radio Pakistan’s report, the envoy said Pakistan believes that the most effective response to the issue of missing persons in armed conflict is the strict application of international law and a process of accountability.
