Thousands have gathered in Srinagar city in Indian-administered Kashmir, demanding that the UN recognise their right to self-determination.
Separatist leaders plan to submit a memorandum to the UN office in the city outlining their demands.
More than 21 people died last week in the Muslim-majority Kashmir valley during police firing on protesters.
The unrest began two months ago when a small piece of land was awarded to a trust running a Hindu shrine.
This provoked Muslim anger. The government then rescinded its decision, triggering furious counter-protests from Hindus in Jammu.
