Pakistan continuously urged the international community to act to stop the ethnic cleansing of Kashmiris. Hindu nationalist government has unleashed a reign of terror towards Indian Muslims in the valley while thousands of people have reportedly been killed in the conflict in the region since 1989.

The situation between Pakistan and India further deteriorated in 2019 after New Delhi stripped its part of Kashmir of the special status it long had under the constitution.
