Author(s) Adnan Yousaf

Abstract ABSTRACT Thesis Title: A Case Study of Human Rights Violations in Indian Occupied Kashmir and International Response: The Way Forward. This study explores the unique combination of economic and strategic interests, due to which the international community and major powers are reluctant to exert their pressure on India to stop committing human rights violations in Kashmir and seeking peaceful resolution of the dispute. The study uses the theoretical perspective of neorealism to explain Indian policy in Kashmir and the role of the oblivious international community, which is not displaying substantial attention towards the human rights violations committed by India in the Valley. The objectives of the study are divided into four categories, which entail the Kashmir dispute under the mentioned theoretical perspective. The variables are examined using the empirical data available on the subject, defining the situation in Kashmir from the emergence of the dispute in 1947 to the current scenario concerning the brutal Indian policies, human rights violations, role of the international community and the freedom struggle of the indigenous people of Kashmir. As a result, the study concludes that Kashmir is a humanitarian crisis and a prolonged dispute of grave importance for the global community, which has ostensibly failed to resolve it over the decades.
