A Genocide has been going on in Balochistan for the last seven decades. The institutions of justice including the judiciary of Pakistan are being used as facilitators. The details on these atrocities were always suppressed due to which the actual number of enforced disappearances could not be known. Therefore, we demand that a fact-finding committee of the United Nations should be brought to Balochistan to investigate the human rights violations in the region.

The question that whether Pakistan and its armed forces are expected to change their policy towards Balochistan should be asked from the Government of Pakistan. Even during the 50-day sit-in and the movement of the Baloch Solidarity Committee, more than 40 people have been forcibly disappeared from Balochistan and other areas. And as we speak, two boys have been forcibly disappeared from Quetta. The state of Pakistan registered multiple FIRs against every person who is associated with this peaceful movement by the Baloch Solidarity Committee. Everyone associated with this movement is being threatened. The lives of the students against whom the state has registered cases are in danger. Therefore, in the coming times, we cannot hope that the state institutions can think of giving us any justice in Pakistan.

 In my opinion, all the movements of the oppressed nations, including the Baloch nation, are labeled as anti-state and pushed to the wall.Attempts are made to justify the ongoing atrocities, brutality, Baloch genocide, killing of innocents and forced disappearances by the state armed forces by saying that there is an anti-state narrative in Balochistan. However, the agencies involved is not just the state. There are many institutions in the state. A political movement has been going on in Balochistan for two decades. Political parties and organizations too were involved in this political movement. Members and leaders of this political movement were subjected to the policy of kill and dump.

The international community has never paid attention to the Baloch genocide. Since the international community has its own interests and priorities, due to which the it did not take notice of the Baloch genocide and the neither was the Baloch issue discussed with seriousness. The people and activists from Balochistan have written several letters to the United Nations. It has also been said that the United Nations should take notice of the genocide in Balochistan. The cases of forced disappearances of Balochistan have been submitted to the United Nations and several letters have been written to the United Nations in this regard, in which the UN has been asked to respond to them, but these letters have not been answered yet.
