Pakistan today briefed heads of diplomatic missions in Islamabad about alleged "atrocities" by Indian forces in Kashmir.

Foreign Office spokesman said that a briefing for Islamabad-based heads of missions was held today regarding the recent report of the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).

The meeting was chaired by Foreign Minister Abdullah Hussain Haroon.

"It is time for the international community to move beyond political and economic expediencies and fulfill its promises to the Kashmiri people, as per United Nations Security Council Resolutions," Haroon said in his remarks.

Earlier this month, the OHCHR released its first-ever report on alleged human rights violation in Kashmir and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and demanded an international probe into it.

India has rejected the UN report, terming it as "fallacious, tendentious and motivated and a selective compilation of largely unverified information.
