On April 22, 2025, in Baisaran meadow near Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, four armed men executed a systematic attack that resulted in the deaths of 26 people, primarily tourists. The assailants targeted individuals based on their religious identity, asking questions about their faith before proceeding to kill. This chilling act, which included the murder of a newlywed naval officer, has been labeled a crime against humanity under international law due to its systematic nature and targeting of civilians. The massacre occurred just days after a speech by Pakistan's Army Chief General Asim Munir, who emphasized the ideological divide between Hindus and Muslims, framing Kashmir as a critical national interest for Pakistan. Despite strong international condemnation from countries like the UK, France, and the US, there has been a lack of meaningful action to address the underlying issues, particularly regarding Pakistan's support for terrorist organizations. The Pahalgam killings highlight the urgent need for a reassessment of how the international community engages with Pakistan to prevent future atrocities.
