His Excellency Ban Ki-Moon Secretary- General of the United Nations United Nations New York, NY 10017-3515 9th December, 2009 Subject: Investigation of the Human Rights Violations in Balochistan Dear Mr. Secretary General, This letter is to urge you to take immediate and practical efforts to investigate and address human rights abuses that have occurred and are ongoing in the Pakistani occupied Balochistan. Over the past few years the people of Balochistan have witnessed immense and hard-line measures from the State of Pakistan in response to their legitimate demands of fundamental human rights of civil liberty, justice and right of self determination ie Free Balochistan. The Pakistani State has responded with the bloody attacks committed by its military and paramilitary forces. Tens of thousands of innocent men, woman and children are killed, thousands arrested, imprisoned and are persecuted, tortured, and sexually abused by security and intelligence officials, for the sole reason of their protest against a deceitful and systemic campaign to oppress the culture, traditions, language and the Baloch identity as a whole. These acts implicate serious violations of Pakistan’s obligations under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and other applicable norms of international human rights law. These acts also violate peremptory norms of international laws, such as the prevention and prohibition of torture and crimes against humanity, from which no derogation is permitted. Moreover, decisions by the Pakistani State to prevent foreign journalists from entering or reporting in Balochistan has created the frightening scenario where the Pakistani State is capable of violating human rights on a massive scale without transparency or accountability. In light of these grieving and appalling circumstances, it is urged to the United Nation, in the name of all people concerned with human rights, to investigate large scale human rights violation of the Baloch people by the State of Pakistan. As you have done with respect to human rights conditions in elsewhere in the World, this office has the power and authority to investigate claims of human rights abuses in Balochistan. The victims of the atrocities committed in Balochistan have waited long enough for genuine justice and for those responsible to be held accountable. The cumulative effect of continued violence by the Pakistani forces on innocent men, woman and children and inaction by the United Nations, sends a message of effective impunity. We believe that only signals of strong and direct action will persuade Pakistan to punish the perpetrators and end impunity, and immediately stop systematic campaign to oppress culture, traditions, and identity of the Baloch People.
