Referring to the decisions and resolutions of the Islamic Summit and OIC Council of Foreign Ministers, the General Secretariat urged India to respect the fundamental human rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and to reverse the illegal and unilateral measures taken since 5 August 2019 to change the internationally recognized disputed status of the territory.
