The Kashmir Nobody Mentions At UN

The recent elections in Gilgit-Baltistan, a region Pakistan illegally annexed in 1949, have sparked protests and demands for constitutional change. Pakistan has responded by labeling the protesters as "Indian agents" and imprisoning leaders of nationalist groups. While the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) appears to have won the most seats, the people are demanding greater autonomy and rights, including control over land ownership and access to ancient trade routes. The region's status remains unchanged despite these demands, highlighting a lack of progress towards granting Gilgit-Baltistan its rightful place as an independent entity.
