BALUCHISTAN: BACK FROM THE BRINK?

Human Rights commision of Pakistan

Recently launched report of the fact-finding mission to Baluchistan by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) stirs up as much anxiety as it radiates a ray of hope. It is too early to say that Baluchistanis on its way to recovery; however it will not be an overstatement if we say that it is back from the brink. This is not to undermine the seriousness of the heinous events which are frequently happening there. Most worrisome finding of the Commission is that the patterns and trends have not been reversed. Nevertheless, emergence of indigenous urge to recover out of the mess is something encouraging.  Special focus on Baluchistan by the Chief Justice of Pakistan and the Government appointed commission on missing persons headed by Justice Javed Iqbal alongside HRCP provide us multiple windows on Baluchistan; these three entities have come out with similar observations about all major vows of Baluchistan.
