Women in Baloch society has been greatly overseen in the Baloch history but now is coming to a more standpoint to people. Milieu of Baloch realm Origin and history of Baloch is still not cleared by the historians till today and needs removal of dust from the narrations of history. Many of historian, travelers and frontier officers of late eighteen century have different opinion and perception about their origin and history.

    6 January 2006 To: Foreign Ministers of U.N. Member States U.N. Permanent Representatives Re: Essential Elements of a Human Rights Council We, the undersigned organizations and individuals dedicated to protecting and promoting human rights, have closely observed the discussions aimed at creating a new Human Rights Council for the United Nations, as proposed by the Secretary-General and agreed by heads of state in September. As the negotiations resume in the period 11-16 January 2006 (with the hope of a final resolution), we write to underscore the elements which we believe are absolutely essential to create a new Council that would be truly an improvement over the existing Commission on Human Rights. Much progress is reflected in the draft resolution dated 19 December 2005. The following provisions are now included as non-bracketed text, and are of central importance to us: • Affirmation that “the Council should address situations of violations of human rights, including gross and systematic violations, and make recommendations thereon,” repeating the clear language agreed by world leaders in the World Summit Outcome Document (OP3). • Provisions stating that membership in the Council shall be based inter alia on the “contribution [of candidate countries] to the promotion and protection of human rights,” and that “members elected to the Council shall abide by the highest standards for the promotion and protection of human rights and fully cooperate with the Council” (OP6 and OP8). • OP9 language that “members of the Council shall be reviewed under the universal periodic peer review mechanism during their term of membership.” • The decision that the Council “shall meet regularly throughout the year” and that special meetings may be called as needed (OP 11).

    ODIHR.GAL/30/12 21 May 2012 OSCE+ ENGLISH only INTERNATIONAL ELECTION OBSERVATION Serbia — Parliamentary and Early Presidential Elections, Second Round, 20 May 2012 STATEMENT OF PRELIMINARY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS Belgrade, 21 May 2012 – This Statement of Preliminary Findings and Conclusions is the result of a common endeavour involving the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR), and the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly (OSCE PA). The OSCE/ODIHR Limited Election Observation Mission (LEOM) remained in the country to observe the second round of the presidential election on 20 May. Matteo Mecacci (Italy), Head of the OSCE PA Delegation, was appointed by the OSCE Chairperson-in- Office as Special Co-ordinator to lead the short-term observer mission. Corien Jonker (the Netherlands) is the Head of the OSCE/ODIHR LEOM, deployed from 4 April 2012. The second round of the early presidential election is assessed for its compliance with the OSCE commitments for democratic elections, as well as with national legislation. This statement should be considered in conjunction with the Statement of Preliminary Findings and Conclusions issued on 7 May, after the first round of voting.1 The overall assessment of the elections will depend, in part, on the conduct of the remaining stages of the election process. The OSCE/ODIHR LEOM will issue a comprehensive final report, including recommendations for improvements, some eight weeks after the completion of the election process. PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS Between the 6 May first round and the 20 May presidential run-off, contestants continued to enjoy equal opportunities for campaigning, which offered voters a distinct political choice.

  • The Baluch Presence in the Persian Gulf
    7 THE BALUCH PRESENCE IN THE PERSIAN GULF J.E. Peterson Contrary to popular perception, the Persian Gulf—including the Arab littoral—exhibits a variegated mélange of sectarian, ethnic, and com- munal groups. Some are of recent addition to the mix, while many others can boast of an ancient presence and contribution to society. The Baluch form one of the communities most integral to society in the Gulf, with representation in all six states of the Gulf Cooperation Coun- cil (GCC) and a presence that, in at least some of these countries, dates back innumerable centuries. As long-time residents and as Sunnis, the Baluch tend not to stand out or to be noticed in any obvious way. Nev- ertheless, they maintain a clear identity shaped by linguistic and cultural factors that makes them distinct on closer inspection. Consequently, an examination of their role provides an important insight into one aspect of the multicultural mosaic of the Persian Gulf. This chapter furnishes as extensive a look at the Baluch of the Arab littoral as is possible given the extent of available information. The term Baluch refers to a major ethnic group primarily located in Pakistan’s southwestern province of Baluchistan (Balochistan) and across 229 SECTARIAN POLITICS IN THE PERSIAN GULF the border in neighboring Iran.1 The Pakistani province extends from the Makran Coast along the Gulf of Oman to the northern frontier of Paki- stan with Afghanistan; there are consequently some Baluch across the border in Afghanistan as well. Baluchi tradition claims that the Baluch and the Kurds share a common ancestry originating in Aleppo.

  • Un Panel Adopts Resolution Calling for Moratorium on Death Penalty
    UN PANEL ADOPTS RESOLUTION CALLING FOR MORATORIUM ON DEATH PENALTY November 15, 2007: A UN General Assembly panel passed a resolution calling for a moratorium on executions with the ultimate goal of eventually abolishing the practice despite fierce opposition from several members. The vote on the highly divisive issue was 99 in favor, 52 against and 33 abstentions. The United States and China joined many developing countries, notably from the Islamic world, in voting no after an acrimonious debate. The full 192-member General Assembly was widely expected to endorse the decision, possibly next month, according to diplomats. Opponents decried what they saw as an attempt by the 87 co-sponsors to impose their values on the rest of the world and made it clear that there was no consensus on an issue which they said would further polarize the assembly. They argued that the death penalty was fundamentally a "criminal justice issue" to be decided by national authorities and saw the resolution as blatant interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states. Malaysia, Singapore, Singapore, Egypt, Barbados and the Bahamas were particularly vocal in denouncing an attempt to impose what they call Western values on the rest of the world.
