Reacting to Indian Supreme Court`s Article 370 verdict upholding the abrogation of the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir state’s special status, Pakistan asserted on Monday that the decision holds "no legal value" under international law. The Pakistani caretaker Foreign Minister, Jalil Abbas Jilani, declared that the global legal framework does not recognize India`s "unilateral and illegal actions" of August 5, 2019.

In a post on social media platform X, Jilani stated, "International law doesn`t recognise India`s unilateral and illegal actions of 5 August 2019. The judicial endorsement by the Indian Supreme Court has no legal value. Kashmiris have an inalienable right to self-determination in accordance with the relevant UN Security Council resolutions."
