It is one of the oldest territory dispute, waiting for justice in this world. There are dozens of U.N. resolutions, providing the solution of the Kashmir dispute but India is not pleased to implement these resolutions. Indian armed forces have committed numerous human rights violations from the last thirty years in the occupied Kashmir.
