Lord Guthrie sympathized with the civilians who had been victims of brutal use of force in the IoK, said a message received here Tuesday.

He said apart from making UNMOGIP more effective, the international community should think of deploying UN peace keeping forces in the area.

He was of the view that the world community should seek a peaceful resolution of the Kashmir dispute.
