Seeking UN intervention, Waza said no peace can be guaranteed in South Asia unless Kashmir issue is amicably settled by the parties to the issue namely India.

"It is high time global leaders are engaged in efforts to ensure peaceful settlement of the crisis in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine. We the beleaguered Kashmiris make a fervent appeal to the global pacifists to redouble their efforts for the early peaceful settlement of Kashmir issue," he said.

Waza appealed the world community to impress upon India to revoke the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), withdraw all armed forces from populated areas and remove the all-imposing security apparatus from the state, release all political prisoners and young boys languishing in various jails in India.

Moreover, Alleging the international community was showing its double standards over ‘continuing Human Rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir, Hurriyat leader Mukthar Waza said that the Western countries have maintained silence over the Kashmir issue. “The countries are giving preference to economic interests over the human rights. Not a single statement has come from the European Union or America on Kashmir in past two years,” he said.

While questioning international community , waza said that is this not possible for them to stop human rights vialtions in Kashmir and to pressurize India to Stop the HR Violations.

He also appealed the International and Indian Human rights organizations to take notice of the HR abuses in Kashmir
