‘There Is Lack Of Evidence’: Pakistan’s ICJ Lawyer Says It Has Virtually No Chance Of Winning Any Genocide Case Over Kashmir

In an awkward statement for the Pakistani establishment, its International Court of Justice (ICJ) lawyer Khawar Qureshi has admitted that his country would find it “extremely difficult” to prove that India was committing a genocide in Kashmir due to a lack of evidence, reports ANI.

The remarks come at a critical time since tensions between the two countries of Kashmir have reached a high-point following the revocation of Article 370.

Speaking to a Pakistani news channel, Qureshi explained that as both countries were signatories to the Genocide Convention of 1948, theoretically Pakistan could go to the ICJ and initiate proceedings against India on the subject of genocide but that it would be difficult to prevail legally.

"However, in the absence of these pieces of evidence, it is extremely difficult for Pakistan to take this case to the ICJ," he said.

In recent weeks, Pakistan has been trying desperately to try and internationlise the Kashmir issue, although with limited success.
