I wanted to update you all on Kashmir. In my view and from what I've heard, the situation is dire. It is said that Kashmiris were forced to stay in their houses and not allowed out during the recent earthquake. It's unknown what the casualty rate is in Indian Occupied Kashmir.
I've essentially been hounded off my social networking sites by Cybercell India who have reported me for automation to spam and keeps doing so each time I post on #UNGA.
I don't believe Pakistan is going to succeed at the UNGA or UNSC only because they for some reason ( only known to themselves) persist in not running the Responsibility to Protect argument. I'm not quite clear what the problem is with Pakistan but they must have their reasons due to the people advising them on Kashmir.
In my view, there is currently two choices left for the Pakistani Military, either leave Kashmir to die or war. Unfortunately, long periods of neglect by the various governments have resulted in this dreadful situation.
The other alternative is that we force the UN to act by phonecalls, letters and signing this petition. https://www.change.org/p/a-demand-for-a-unsc-review-a-hrc-full-inquiry-and-a-war-crimes-tribunal-for-kashmir-india-just-be-held-accountable-for-the-human-rights-violations-committed-in-kashmir/dashboard?source_location=user_profile_started . I'm unsure how many signatures or human man power we will need but my assessment of the UN is that they will need more than a million people contacting them and not giving up.
The UN and the UNGA as well as the UNHRC are all up with the fairies. They are lost in liberal debate that they've forgotten what the word "Emergency" means. Even though I have spent years communicating with them, I find them wholly arrogant, unconstructive and ineffectual. I say this even after they upheld our complaint. Few realise how obstinate and obstructive they are. Most have no idea what kind of sarcasm I've tolerated from the various people at the UNHRC.
Kashmir is in an emergency and there is still no full inquiry. It's absurd. Yet no one seems the least bit concerned.
Anyway, please do your best. We activists are all being disabled online by India. We can't access assistance from anywhere to defend ourselves.
I will keep posting updates here. They aren't always delivered to your inbox so please check at the bottom of the petitions for updates.
Thankyou all for your support for Kashmir. We have two choices left. We either force the systems to act by sheer people power or war will happen and it will be a nuclear war.

Dr Rita Pal
