A delegation of the Baloch Human Rights Council submitted two separate petitions addressed to the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk calling for the UN’s intervention for the worsening human rights situation in Balochistan, the ANI reported.
Before submitting the petitions, the Baloch Human Rights Council (BHRC) organized a protest at the Broken Chair in front of the UN building in Geneva condemning the atrocities committed in Balochistan. The protesters called for UN intervention in Balochistan to save the Baloch people. The protest was held during the ongoing 52nd Session of the UN Human Rights Council.
Baloch Human Rights Council called for the formation of a UN investigation mission to investigate extrajudicial killings and mass enforced disappearances of Baloch political and social activists in Pakistan.
“In the face of heinous crimes committed by the Pakistani security forces in Balochistan, UN intervention is imperative. Establishing a UN investigative mission to probe extrajudicial killings and mass disappearances of the Baloch political and social activists would be a step forward,” Baloch Human Rights Council said in the petition addressed to UN Chief.
In the petition, the Baloch Human Rights Council said, “Enforced disappearances, unlawful custody, dumping of mutilated bodies and inhuman torture of the Baloch political activists are part of the strategy to crush the Baloch national aspirations.” It stressed that these actions have become a daily occurrence since 2002.
