<p>We encourage both India and Pakistan to uphold their international human rights
obligations. Any allegations of human rights violations or abuses is concerning and
must be investigated thoroughly, promptly and transparently. We regularly raise the
issue of human rights and Kashmir with the Governments of India and Pakistan. I discussed
the situation in Kashmir with the Indian Foreign Secretary on my most recent visit
to India in March this year. The Permanent Under Secretary to the Foreign and Commonwealth
Office also raised the situation in Kashmir with the Indian Foreign Secretary during
bilateral talks last month (May). With the Pakistani Government, the Foreign Secretary
discussed Kashmir with the Minister of Foreign Affairs in March and I raised the issue
in a meeting with Pakistan's Special Assistant for Accountability in late May.</p>
