“Dignity and Justice for all of us” UDHR
by Diagoh Murad
Email: diagoh@yahoo.com
Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted and proclaimed
by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 10th December,
1948. It has since been active in its role as a true platform
working for the Human rights according to its declaration
which is written in many languages and was distributed to
all the member countries of United Nations. “Dignity
and Justice for all of us” is the theme of 2008 created
for better understanding of the Declaration and the ground
reality of the organization. This sentence is truly inspirable
and appreciable for many as it truly distinguish the fact
that no man is slave of another man, or no nation is slave
of another nation.
“Dignity and Justice” may be democratic words
but as democracy is not applied in many countries of this
Globe so do these words are not implemented by many other
nations. Today most of the countries are trying to embrace
the word Democracy as their state policy but there are many
countries which are not even close to understand these words.
There are many nations in this world who suffered most severe
human rights violation, mass genocide are being conducted
over them, many have faced extinction and most of them are
still living in the condition of a slave like nations. A
nation living under the chains of slavery in this modern
time or should we call it 21st century in which evens the
animal has rights and on the violation of the rights of animal
there are laws for it but when suppose a nation is on the
brink of extinction and the reason for this extinction is
the oppressor who is trying all is will to give the extinct
nation a last push to its doom, isn’t their any law
that could stop this holocaust? Sure there are but what are
the purposes of this silence it is still unknown.
There are many human rights organization in this world working
for the betterment of human life, there have been many cases
registered on the name of different countries that have violated
the human rights laws Israel is on the top list, Iran, Iraq,
Turkey, Srilanka & Pakistan follows. Pakistan being underdeveloped
country has certified itself as a secular and democratic
society but in its past history it has never shown proof
of being secular because it was created for the purpose to
serve Islam and to build a state which would be purely Islamic
by term and policies. In its separation stage from India
it was depicted to safeguard the interest of the Indian Muslims
who were targeted in India because of their religion.
Pakistan being an Islamic state mobilized its mass in the
name of Islam and also occupied many adjoining borders to
extend the borders of Pakistan. Occupation of Balochistan
(Eastern Balochistan) on 28 March 1948 was the biggest treachery
and hypocrisy this newly born Muslim state (Pakistan) did,
Although there are proofs that Balochistan was never part
of British India but this hypocrisy was not raised on any
form even the United Nations didn’t responded on the
occupation of an independent state which was stripped from
its sovereignty and was marked as a slave nations. The precious
culture and cherished language of Baloch nation started declining
and Baloch nation was forgotten by most nations that Baloch
were once a proud nation and are the real owner of Balochistan.
Balochistan is divided in three pieces Iranian occupied
Balochistan (Western Balochistan), Pakistani occupied Balochistan
(Eastern Balochistan) and Afghanistan occupied Balochistan
(Southern Balochistan). These three pieces once were together
and comprises great land which was called Greater Balochistan
at its time. The dividing of the Greater Balochistan was
planned by the British stooges who were the director of creating
Pakistan, Separation of Greater Balochistan in pieces was
to sustain it slavery after the British has left the region
in the wake of Indian revolution. Baloch nation though never
accepted this dividing of borders but were pushed from every
angle. The Iranian occupied Balochistan & Pakistani occupied
Balochistan were mostly under the influence of army operation
which were conducted to suppress the Baloch nation who were
demanding equal rights and some of the forces in Baloch nation
even demanded the restoration of Greater Balochistan. The
most common way to suppress the voice of freedom and equal
rights was to violate human rights and that’s what
both of these Islamic Republic Countries did, they violated
every law which is stated in the charter of UDHR Article
2:
Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set
forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind,
such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political or
other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth
or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made
on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international
status of the country or territory to which a person belongs,
whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under
any other limitation of sovereignty.
Many nations have faced genocide and violation of human
rights but Baloch nation for 200 years were treated badly
whether they were independent or were forcefully annexed
and their rights of freedom also snatched. Bangladesh for
instance was also under forced of operation which took more
than 300 Million lives in the wake of revolution and rebellion
against Pakistan. Mostly women and children were massacred
by Pakistani army. The genocide which occurred in the Dhaka
University on March of 1971 by the then corps commander Tikka
Khan left most of the women raped by the Pak army (The Pure
Army), and after the raped was taken over they were executed
brutally in front of the student hall.
To this day the Bangladeshi people urged the international
communities to take action over the genocide of their nation
but to no avail the voices of Universal Declaration of Human
rights haven’t raised their concern over what happened
in the war of Bangladesh which was inevitable but maybe for
god sake if an international intervention have taken place
than somehow Pakistan would have been put to leash. Today
the same picture can be seen in the desert and ruins of Balochistan
where mass human rights violation is taken place. Every day
Baloch youth are being abducted by the notorious ISI & MI
personal and are being put behind bars of Qulli camp and
are restricted to see the dawn, Their mother are keeping
their eyes opened for their son would returned one day and
some like Iqbal Baloch’s Mother would die but their
son would not come to let the last wish of their mother to
come true. These Baloch youths in the Qulli camp are counted
in thousand and more are missing no judicial inquiry has
been taken inside the judiciary system of Pakistan, which
is the direct violation of the Article 10 of the charter
of UDHR.
Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public
hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the
determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal
charge against him.
These are not to get sympathy from the readers but these
are facts and facts cannot be hidden like the Bangladesh
genocide was broadcasted and was raised at many levels so
do the Balochistan genocide have also. The video of 17 March
genocide of Hindu Baloch people by the hands of Pakistan
army in the hills of Dera Bugti was internationally previewed
by many intellectual and activists of many human rights organization
but no action was taken against the brutal massacre of the
Hindu Baloch people. Women and children of Baloch nation
are also suffering the extra-judicial kidnapping which is
gross human rights violation.
Dignity and Justice are appreciable words and are morally
correct if a country accept it with correct means but if
a country violate every law and article inside the charter
of UDHR and still find asylum inside the United Nation and
the United States than whom are guilty and where Baloch nation
should go an appeal for justice. Then these 2 words Dignity
and justice are just book words and in real life they are
not implemented even by UDHR. Now in the last I would quote
the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation (UNPO)
which has this to say about the severe human rights violation
occurring inside Balochistan
The Baloch people are currently suffering from severe human
rights violations including enforced disappearances, extra-judicial
killings, and detention without trials, subjected to indiscriminate
force as well as forced displacements.
Alongside meeting with various UN member states missions,
UNPO and the Baloch community have also demonstrated in Geneva
to highlight the current situation of the Baloch people in
Greater Balochistan.
In a memorandum released ahead of the demonstration, the
UN and the wider international community was urged to ‘do
its utmost to stop the unlawful assault of the Baloch people’,
in order to stop a whole nation being ‘systematically… being
wiped out by the Pakistani and Iranian state through cultural,
economic, political and military aggression.’
The UN are being called upon to establish a fact-finding
mission to investigate the human rights violations, to bring
perpetrators to justice and to halt the acts of aggression
against the Baloch people.
Repeated human rights violations have been documented by
reputable organizations and international humanitarian’s
institutions

Appeal to UN and UDHR Representatives:
The last message is just an appeal to the UN and UDHR Representative
who have taken ought to save the lives of human and the
lives of nation who are facing genocide and violation of
human rights by the oppressor who are responsible for every
situation occurring inside Balochistan. Balochistan today
is neglected by UN and UDHR but Baloch nation has being
totally secular will struggle till the end to prove to
the international communities and activists that Baloch
are not miscreants or peace destroyer but are struggling
for a path which leads them to their freedom. |
