Baloch Voice Association Reports Human Rights Concerns and Resource Issues in Balochistan to UN
The Baloch Voice Association (BVA) has submitted a detailed report to the United Nations Human Rights Council highlighting decades of political marginalization, economic exploitation, and human rights violations in Pakistan's Balochistan province. Despite its rich natural resources, including oil, gas, copper, and gold, the region remains underdeveloped with widespread poverty. The report documents enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and repression of civil rights activists, linking the conflict to historical grievances since Balochistan's incorporation into Pakistan in 1948. Calls for international intervention and recognition of Balochistan's autonomy or independence have intensified amid ongoing violence and protests.
