The G20 summit is underway in boycotted Kashmir

• On May 22, 2023, the G20 meeting began in India-held Kashmir, blatantly in violation of international law and Security Council resolutions. At least three member nations chose to boycott it, and several western states preferred to send their diplomats stationed in India to the meeting rather than permit delegates from their respective capitals to attend.
No government delegations are anticipated from Turkeys or Saudi Arabia, and G20 member China, which is locked in a military standoff with India along their largely undelimited border in the Ladakh region, declined to attend the tourism working group meeting. Beijing also skipped earlier G20 meetings in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh, which it claims are part of Tibet. According to Fernand de Varennes, the UN’s special rapporteur on minority problems, New Delhi is attempting to use the G20 summit to “portray an international seal of approval” on a situation that “should be decried and condemned,” he said last week. Pakistan accused India of acting with “arrogance” by conducting the huddle in the disputed area where, in accordance with UN resolutions, a referendum must be held to grant the Kashmiri people the right to self-determination, which India denied.
