On the International Day of Commemoration and Dignity of the Victims of the Crime of Genocide and of the Prevention of this Crime, experts are alarmed by the growing threat of genocide faced by Muslims in occupied Jammu and Kashmir and India under the Modi-led regime.
Hindutva leaders and their political affiliates openly advocate mass extermination of Muslims, while systemic violence and hate crimes against Muslims have surged across India and the occupied territory. International genocide experts, including Gregory Stanton, founder of Genocide Watch, have repeatedly warned that India is exhibiting alarming signs of preparing for a Muslim genocide. Stanton noted that the ongoing persecution and dehumanization of Muslims in IIOJK and India are serious precursors to a potential massacre.
The experts called on the United Nations and global human rights bodies to urgently intervene, uphold the Genocide Convention, and hold India accountable. Organizations like Genocide Watch have emphasized the need for immediate international action to protect Muslims and other targeted minorities and to prevent further escalation.
Meanwhile, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference in a statement issued in Srinagar condemned the persistent human rights violations by Indian forces in the occupied territory and urged the international community to resolve the Kashmir dispute in accordance with United Nations resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
