Gilgit-Baltistan activist accuses Pakistan of illegal rule, rights violations, and exploitation at UN rights council.
At the 60th UN Human Rights Council session, Sherbaz Khan, a Gilgit Baltistan activist, accused Pakistan of unlawfully governing the disputed region, violating international law by denying residents rights, representation, and control over land and resources.
He cited a 1999 Supreme Court ruling against taxation without representation, noting ongoing tax collection at the Sost border.
Khan condemned the 2025 Land Reforms Bill as enabling external exploitation of local assets under the guise of green development.
He claimed the regional assembly is powerless, operating under Islamabad’s direct control, and highlighted severe infrastructure deficits and inadequate disaster response, with locals rebuilding after disasters.
He urged the UN and human rights groups to intervene.
