LEGAL STATUS

BNF 1. Before writing my own party opinion, I would like to elucidate the realities, due to which this most important geographical area's fate is becoming dark andambiguous even at the door of the 21st century. The very important issue was to emancipate the whole area consisting of 28000 sq. miles, from the clutches of Pakistan. Two million down trodden people of Balawaristan (occupied Gilgit Baltistan) were invoked into the attention of the civilized world, United Nation, international Court of Justice and Human Rights Organizations.

LEGAL STATUS. I have the honor to explain the legal (written) material that became flagrant intimidation for the people of Jammu & Kashmir state, which also clears the position of Balawaristan (Occupied Gilgit Baltistan) the disputed part of Jammu & Kashmir.

BRIEF HISTORY 1. Before the separation of sub-continent, the British empire decided to hand over the charge of the tiny states including Yasen, Punial, Gupis, Ishkoman, Gilgit, Nagar, Hunza, Astore and Chilas to the Maharaja of Kashmir. Chilas was under suzerainty of Yasen even after 1947.Before 1860 Mestuch (now became a part of Chitral),Gupis and Ishkoman were also integral parts of Yasen. After the murder of British spy Col. George Hayward by the Yasen ruler, differences were broadened between Yasen and the British government and as a revenge British separated Mestuch, Gupis and Ishkoman from Yasen. While Rundu, Kharmang, Skardu and other semi- independent kingdoms of Ladakh and Astore were under the direct control of Maharaja of Jammu & Kashmir.

DIVISION OF SUB CONTINENT PRINCIPAL.
The British government treated differently with the whole Jammu & Kashmir state including Balawaristan {Occupied Gilgit Baltistan (OGB)}, as she did with India and Pakistan. Otherwise they would have handed over the whole state of Jammu a Kashmir to Pakistan or India. The order of the Prime Minister of His Highness Maharaja Mr.R.C.Kak on 17th July, 1947,before the partition of great India, vide No. B 480/47 P.B.is as under. His Highness the Maharaja Bahadur has been pleased to command that :

The administration of the entire Gilgit Baltistan i.e. former Gilgit Wazarat north of the Indus and all political districts is taken over on 1st August 1947.

1. The above together with Bonji will form the Gilgit frontier province.
2. Brigadier Ghansara Singh is appointed governor.
3. The budget for the Gilgit Frontier province will be sanctioned, when full details are known and have been sanctioned.

HISTORY 2 . Ninety days after taking over the charge of Gilgit Agency and political districts (Baltistan was a tehsil of Ladakh at that time), Gilgit Scouts revolted and arrested Governor Ghansara Singh.But later on Cap. Mirza Hassan Khan a local officer of 6th Jammu & Kashmir Infantry Battalion took iver the control of rebellion against the Maharaja, thus the Maharaja lost it's golden sparrow and roof of the world on 1st November, 1947.Baltistan a tehsil of Ladakh fell to Gilgit Scouts in 1948. Raja Shah Raees Khan and the then Cap.Mirza Hassan Khan became President and Commander-in-Chief of the newly born State, The Republic of Gilgit. Unfortunately, the liberation war was on and the local military commanders including Mirza Hassan Khan were busy, therefore some simpleton military low ranking persons were acquainted the neighbour Muslim state Pakistan to send an expert for subsidiary duties in administration.

On 16 Nov.1947, immediately after liberation of Gilgit Frontier Province of Kashmir, a. third class magistrate (Naib Tehsildar) Sardar Alam was sent by the government of Pakistan from N.W.F.P. province to discharge his duties as a temporary helper to the newly born state Gilgit. Mr. Alam paved the way for himself from the very beginning by making sectarian differences among the locals on one side and on the other side the government of India and Pakistan took the case of the whole Jammu & Kasmir, including Gilgit Baltistan, to United Nations Organization.

UNCIP. The stand of India & Pakistan in United Nation Commission for India and Pakistan (UNCIP) is reproduced, so the postulates of both the countries could be re - examined by their respective people in that context, in which Pakistan agreed to withdraw all its forces and armed personals, tribesmen and citizens from the state of Jammu & Kashmir including Balawaristan (O.G.B.) within a period of 7 weeks. But later on UNCIP accepted the request of Pakistan to extend the period of withdrawal within the period of three months (12 weeks), while, India agreed for withdrawal of bulk of it's forces subject to the complete withdrawal of all Pakistani forces and civilians (Pathans of Frontier Province of Pakistan) and other Pakistani citizens, who were not the citizens of Jammu & Kashmir State including Balawaristan (Occupied Gilgit Baltistan).
The proofs have been extracted from the official records of The United Nations Security Council 1950. The extract of UNCIP record explains on page No.111-112 iii (A), is as under: -

THE GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN AGREES
1. "To withdraw it's troops from the territory of the state of Jammu and Kashmir in seven weeks" As follows :
a. During the first three weeks twenty infantry battalion, plus the corresponding proportion of artillery and supporting units.
b. During the following fortnight the remainder of the Pakistan troops, with the exception of eight infantry battalions.
c. By the end of seven weeks, all Pakistan troops, including their ammunition, stores and material, will have left the territory of the state.

2. That having secured the withdrawal of the tribesmen from the territory of the state of Jammu and Kashmir, it shall secure the withdrawal of     Pakistani nationals still in the territory of the state and not normally residents therein, who have entered the state for the purpose of fighting."

THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA AGREES
1."To withdraw the bulk of it's forces from the state of Jammu and Kashmir in stages submitted by the Commission shall have notified the Government of India. The withdrawal will began as soon as the commission will have notified the Government of India the tribesmen and Pakistan national, not normally resident in Jammu & Kashmir territory who have entered the state for the purpose of fighting, have withdrawn and that the Pakistani troops are being withdrawn from the state of Jammu & Kashmir."

TRUCE TERMS 28 APRIL 1949
"Pending a final solution, the territory evacuated by the Pakistan troops will be administered by The Local Authority under the surveillance of the commission."
III (I.D) "Observers will advise the commission and or the plebiscite administrator regarding developments the sparsely populated mountainous region of the territory of Jammu & Kashmir in the north (i.e. Gilgit Baltistan).Without prejudice to the provision of point 8 of the resolution of 5th January1949,showed the commission and or the plebiscite administrator may request the Government of India to post garrison at specified points."

BNF. By accepting this proposal in UNCIP, government of Pakistan has proved herself as an irrelevant self- made attorney for J & K generally and for Balawaristan (Gilgit Baltistan) particularly. Some people including Supreme Court of Pakistan resemble the long period of de-facto control over this disputed area of state of Jammu & Kashmir (Balawaristan), while neglecting their own grievances about Indian de-jure and de-facto control over it's part of J&K. They should go through the documents and truth recognized by international community and even Pakistan itself. Besides many examples, one such is

PAKISTAN CHINA AGREEMENT.
Pakistan-China border agreement on 2nd March 1963. Delimitation and demarcation of Sinkiang-Kashmir (Kashmir was used to Gilgit by both the signatories) border agreement article No.6 is as under: "The two parties have agreed that after the settlement of the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan, the sovereign authority concerned will reopen negotiations with the government of the Peoples Republic of China on the boundary treaty to replace the present agreement."2nd march, 1963. Though, in this fraud, ex-prate, illegal and immoral agreement, Pakistan and China both accept and recognize that Pakistan has no sovereign authority over the territory of Balawaristan (Occupied Gilgit Baltistan).

Pakistan has no right to handover 2500 sq.miles area to China, to link physically by constructing road (Karakoram Highway) on the soil of Balawaristan, for it's own vested interest. In an objection letter against Pakistan and China agreement on 16th March 1963 to the President of Security Council, India declares the China-Pakistan border treaty against UNCIP resolutions. In a reply, the then Foreign Minister of Pakistan, Mr.Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, cleared the actual and legal position of the said fraud treaty and said that "the boundary agreement (between Pakistan and China) does not affect the status of the territory of Jammu and Kashmir, it does not affect the imperatives of demilitarization of the state. It does not derogate one jot or title from the right of self determination of the people." According to the above - mentioned statement of Z.A.Bhutto in UNSC, government of Pakistan does not have sovereign power nor the disputed nature of Balawaristan has changed even after lapse of 52 years.

Moreover the Government of Pakistan has admitted the right of self - determination of 2 million people of Balawaristan (Gilgit Baltistan) . According to it's meaning and definition the people of Balawaristan are not bound to choice or select only Pakistan like other People of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK)

PAKI. COURT. In the Supreme Court of Pakistan appeal No.33 - 1965 Noor Hussain versus State case can be studied as follow: "Any territory which does not constitute part of the Republic of Pakistan is defined in the constitution of 1962 is a foreign territory."
The same situation applies for the constitution of 1973.

In another writ petition No.5961, 1978,in the Lahore High Court, Dilawar Shah versus Judicial Commissioner (the then judicial dictator of Balawaristan), Mr. Justice Javed Iqbal decided that :

"Northern Areas (Balawaristan), which are administered by the federal government directly are not part of any province. These areas are also not included in the tribalareas list as per 246 of the constitution, the learned counsel submitted that under clause (d) article 1 (2) of 1973 constitution above a territory can be included in Pakistan by "accession or otherwise". The courts in Pakistan could consider however, he conceded, that so far there is no such legal instrument which is recognizable. Relying on Sakhi Daler Khan versus superintendent in charge recovery of abducted women PLD 1957 W.P.Lahore 813.We are of the view that constitutionally we are unable to find any merit in this writ petition, which is accordingly dismissed."16th May, 1981. In an appeal No.11 and 17 0f 1994 Al-jahad Trust versus government Pakistan, the observation of Supreme Court of Pakistan of 28th May 1999 is as under :

"It may be observed that the geographical location of the Northern Areas (i.e. Balawaristan) is very sensitive, because it is bordering India, China, Tibet and USSR, and as the above areas in the past have also been treated differently, this court cannot decide what type of government should be provided to ensure the compliance with the above mandate of the constitution, nor we can direct the people of Northern Areas should be given representation in the Parliament as, at this stage, it may be in the larger interest of the country because of the fact that a plebiscite under the auspices of the United Nations is to be held. In regard to the right to access to justice through an independent judiciary, it may be observed that the Northern Areas (Balawaristan) has a Chief Court, which can be equated with a High Court,provided it is manned by the persons of the stature who are fit to be elevated as judges to any High Court in Pakistan.

It's jurisdiction is to be enlarged so as to include jurisdiction to entertain Constitutional Petitions inter alia to enforce the Fundamental Rights enshrined in the constitution."

"We therefore, allow the above petitions and direct the Respondent Federation as under: To initiate appropriate administrative/legislative measures within a period of six months from today to make necessary amendments in the constitution / rules / notification / notifications, to ensure that the people of Northern Areas (Balawaristan) enjoy their above fundamental rights, namely, to be governed through their chosen representatives to have access to justice through an independent judiciary inter alia for enforcement of their Fundamental Rights guaranteed under the constitution."

PAKI. STAND. In this connection the statement of Mr.Afzal Khan former Minister Kashmir Affairs and Northern Areas (Balawaristan) Affairs (KANA) and Chief Executiveof Balawaristan on 11th August 1996 is reproduced here as under :

"If the opposition wants to give due status to Northern Areas (Balawaristan) they must come forward, so that we may amend the constitution to make Northern Areas (Balawaristan) a legal part of Pakistan. Minister further said that Azad Kashmir (Pakistan Occupied Kashmir) through self government made tremendous socio- economic progress, whereas the Northern Areas (Balawaristan) is still backward."
The statement of a high level representative of Pakistan itself clears the illegal occupation and control of Pakistan over Balawaristan (Gilgit Baltistan). It also indicates the confession of the government of Pakistan of keeping the area deprived from socio-economic progress intentionally for the last half century. His statement also indicates the design of Pakistan to violate United Nations resolutions by merging Balawaristan into Pakistan without consulting the will of the people.

PAKI. COURTI. In another writ petition No.5961, 1978,in the Lahore High Court, Dilawar Shah versus Judicial Commissioner (the then judicial dictator of Balawaristan), Mr. Justice Javed Iqbal decided that :

"Northern Areas (Balawaristan), which are administered by the federal government directly are not part of any province. These areas are also not included in the tribal areas list as per 246 of the constitution learned counsel submitted that under clause (d) article 1 (2) of 1973 constitution above a territory can be included in Pakistan by "accession or otherwise". However he conceded that so for there is no such legal instrument as could be considered recognizable by the courts in Pakistan. Relying on Sakhi Daler Khan versus superintendent in charge, recovery of abducted women PLD 1957 W.P.Lahore 813.We are of the view that constitutionally we are unable to find any merit in this writ petition, which is accordingly dismissed."16th may, 1981.

OMBUDSMAN. In an order passed by Mr. Justice Usman Ali Shah the then head of Federal Ombudsman of Pakistan says, that according to international law "No taxation without representation". The Income Tax Department of Pakistan or Central Board of Revenue has no power to apply taxes on Northern Areas (Balawaristan). But even then the taxes are snatched from the people of Balawaristan (Occupied Gilgit Baltistan) without giving them any representation in the parliament of Pakistan or Local Government established by complying UNCIP resolution. Even its integrity and sovereignty is threatened by violating UNSC resolution.

PAKI. STAND. A statement was submitted in Lahore High Court, by Deputy Secretary Kashmir Affairs and Northern Areas (Balawaristan) Affairs Division of Pakistan on behalf of Government of Pakistan, submitted a statement against writ petition No.862, 1990. The Petition was filed by Mr.Qurban Ali, Adv. Shahbaz Khan and Fida Mohammad Nashaad versus State of Pakistan and government of Pakistan.

A paragraph of the said statement as under : -
"In terms of article 1 (2) of the constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, Northern Areas (Balawaristan) does not form part of Pakistan.This area is linked with the main Kashmir issue which is under consideration in the UN for the last 50 years."

Second paragraph of his statement : -
"Grant of constitutional status tantamount to unilateral annexation of Northern Areas (Balawaristan) with Pakistan, which will be against Pakistan stand on Kashmir issue in international fora." Of course, both of the above mentioned paragraphs are the real elucidation of UNCIP resolution with respect to the Kashmir issue. But in his next coming Para Mr.Shahzad Iqbal being a most obedient servant of Pakistan reveals the intention and Hippocratic role of his country by neglecting UNCIP resolutions and international commitments. Which totally contradicts his previous statements His statement is as under :-

"Till decision of this dispute (meaning the whole J & K dispute) government (Pakistan) is administering Northern Areas (Balawaristan) in accordance with the provision of United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan (UNCIP)." impugned and immoral claim by Pakistan representative in Lahore High Court to The justify the illegal occupation of Pakistan can be observed by the following UNCIP original text.

GENERAL PROVISION OF UNCIP
A. The territory evacuated by the Pakistan troops will be administered by the local authority under the surveillance of the commission.
B. Immediately upon the acceptance of these terms, the commission would enter in to consultation with the Government of India regarding the disposal of the Indian and state armed forces and with the local authorities regarding the disposal of the armed forces in the territory to be evacuated by Pakistani troops, with a view to initiating implementations of point 4 (A) and (B) of the commission's resolution of 5th January, 1949.

C. If before expiration of the seven weeks contemplated in point II.A decisions are reached in the consultations for the initial implementation referred to in III.B above the schedule of withdrawal of the Pakistan Army as provided for II.A above may be extended to three months, in order to facilitate the implementation of decision relating to point 4 (b) of the commission's resolution of 5th January, 1949.

D. It will be made publicly known throughout the state of Jammu & Kashmir that peace, law and order will be safeguarded and that all human and political rights will be guaranteed.

E. Those terms are without prejudice the function and powers of the plebiscite administrator.

PAKI. STAND. In the next Para Mr. Shahzad continues his pretext like this and says : "While administering Northern Areas (Balawaristan) in accordance with the provision of UNCIP resolution in exercise of it's powers as provincial government for the area had been extending federal laws to these areas through special powers as are considered necessary and expedient in public interest"

BNF. The truth is that, UNCIP provision does not allow Pakistan to rule over the State of Jammu & Kashmir and its strategically important part i.e.Balawaristan (Gilgit Baltistan). According UNCIP provision or UN resolution, Pakistan has no right to extend it's Federal or Provincial or Military or any other laws to Balawaristan (O.G.B.).

KANA division or Parliament or Judiciary of Pakistan or other judicial or administrative / representative of Pakistan based in Balawaristan (Occupied Gilgit Baltistan) or Islamabad or anywhere in Pakistan suppose to extend / exercise any ordinary or special powers to this area, without popular will of the 2 million people of Balawaristan. As far as the interest of the people of Balawaristan is concerned, what the representative of Pakistan mentioned in his statement before Lahore High Court, is malevolence and baseless. Because no people of the world can stamp on the orders of their slavery.

Nobody had shown his interest for Pakistan's cruel laws and it's presence in Balawaristan since 16th November 1947,treacherous entrance in the name of religion. As far as Mr.Shahzad's statement, that Balawaristan is not part of Pakistan and he has also expressed the opinion and compulsion of Pakistan to grant constitutional status to Balawaristan, his rejection the rumours of previous accession of Balawaristan (OGB) with Pakistan are concerned, are legally and historically correct.

In the light of the above mentioned documental proof, what is the justification for Pakistan, its arliament, civil and military administration, judicial, force, intelligent agencies and other departments to be involved in the matter of Balawaristan.As far the interest of 2 million people regarding the exotic laws are concerned, no such political party exists in Balawaristan, which has never recognized the Pakistani setup and it's laws. What say for a party every single person except ISI agents is fed up with the Pakistani occupation, whether he is educated or illiterate?
On 9th April 1993 all party conference was held first time in recent Balawaristan political history, where more than a dozen local based Pro-Pakistan religious and political parties and pro-independent nationalist parties were gathered under the leadership of pro - independent nationalist party, Balawaristan National Front (B.N.F.).

They formed Alliance and condemned the Pakistani occupation and it's system since 16th November 1947 unanimously; as a result Pakistan was compelled to announce it's fraud package to overcome the unrest. In 1998 Balawasristan Bar Council boycotted against the so-called Chief Court (on contract base) for almost a year, but nobody was bothered to listen to their grievances against the corrupt and contract base head of the awkward court. Who was deputed here by the minister KANA Division after getting expired of his service and wealth in Pakistan, to collect bribes from the simpleton people of this Heaven on Earth? This head of Chief Court has more value then the Bar Council and the people of Balawaristan in the eyes of Pakistan. Was it in public interest, what the representative of Pakistan stated before Lahore High Court?

PAKI. SUPREME COURT
Fauzia Saleem Abbas, a local lady and ex-Counsellor of Northern Areas Council had filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court of Pakistan against the denial of basic Human Rights to the people of occupied Balawaristan (Gilgit Baltistan) in 1994. The writ, which was lying in the cold storage, was brought forth in May 1999 and daily hearing was started all of sudden, to overcome efforts by BNF to highlight the issue of Balawaristan at international level. Last year, Mr. Kofi Annan, UN Secretary General, and other member countries were informed of the conspiracies of Pakistan and ISI against the people of this disputed region. When Pakistan came to know about it, the ministry for Kashmir affairs (KANA) was directed by foreign ministry to arrest me dead or alive. Later on a notorious smuggler and drug trafficker, of Gilgit police, was deputed with this job by the ISI. I got informed in time and reached a secret place.

Due to such international reasons ISI, in order to save the face of Pakistan, activated this file. The Supreme Court of Pakistan revealed that Pakistan had deprived the people, of occupied Balawaristan, of their basic rights for the past 52 years. Pakistan government was instructed to make arrangements through amendment in the constitution to grant basic human rights and the right to govern, to the people of this region. I appreciate the Supreme Court of Pakistan for it's confession regarding denial of all rights but at the same time, I regret that the highest court of Pakistan and it's judges might have not thoroughly gone through the records of the UN resolutions. According to UNCIP, Pakistan government cannot make any amendments in it's constitution regarding a region prior to the final settlement of Kashmir issue.

At the same time, how can a court deliver any judgement for those areas, which are out of Pakistani consitution and its jurisdiction. If it is so, then why Balawaristan only, Pakistan's Supreme Court should also emerge Indian Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) through constitutional amendment. The judges of Supreme Court of Pakistan should personally go through the UN record comprising of 204 pages, so that they could know the reality before delivering any judgement regarding the disputed areas of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) such as Balawaristan. If a tradition of capturing disputed areas through courts is initiated today, then any other power can also make Pakistan as it's constitutional part tomorrow, because there are several countries, which are more powerful than Pakistan.

BNF demands nothing but liberation from Pakistan. If Supreme Court of Pakistan has any sympathy with the people of this region, it can only be directed to the government of Pakistan for it to comply to the UN resolution in this regard. It will neither require any amendment in Pakistan's constitution nor would it effect the Kashmir issue. Only Pakistani army and evil bureaucracy involved in violation of the UN resolution would be effected. Pakistani forces, agents and citizens should be called back, the right of the local people as given the name of "Local Authority" under the surveillance of the UN be restored. In the UN resolutions, it was also said that the sovereignty and integrity of the disputed region would not be effected, while Supreme Court of Pakistan is committing this offense.

What kind of punishment has been given to the Government of Pakistan by the Supreme Court for Human Rights Violation of the people of Balawaristan, for the past 52 years ? What has the Court done to compensate the 2 million people of this disputed region? Had the Supreme Court gone through the statement of Shahzad Iqbal, Deputy Secretary of Pakistan, made in Lahore High Court on behalf of the government of Pakistan that, under article 1 Sub Section 2 of the constitution, Balawaristan is not a part of Pakistan. It has also been admitted by Pakistan Government that granting of constitutional rights to Balawaristan by annexing it with Pakistan would be against the Pakistani stand adopted at international level. In an agreement, made with China On March 3,1963, Pakistan described the areas of Balawaristan as "Jammu & Kashmir" instead of Hunza or Khunjrab (Balawaristan).

In 1978, Lahore High Court in its judgement, declared Balawaristan (Occupied Gilgit Baltistan) as part of Kashmir not of Pakistan.
Federal ombudsman of Pakistani Justice, Usman Ali Shah also described the collection of tax by Pakistan as illegal referring the international law, that "No taxation without representation." Once upon a time, Mr. Afzal Khan, former Minister for Kashmir Affairs, had stated in the parliament that Balawaristan would be made as a legal part of Pakistan by amendment in the constitution, if opposition was ready to do so.
A few years back, some personalities of Diamer District had filed a writ in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK) Muzzaffarabad High court for the merger of 28000 sq.mile area of Balawaristan in 4000 sq.mile area of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK).

The chief justice, Majid Malik, in his decision had instructed Pakistan Occupied Kashmir's (POK) puppet Government to take over the administrative control of Balawaristan and grant the rights to the people. Sardar Qayyum, due to the fear of Pakistan, rejected the decision of taking over the administrative control by its Supreme Court, but the remaining full text of the decision was also endorsed, that Balawaristan was a part of Jammu and Kashmir. About the final settlement of the dispute of this region, it is our concrete stand that we should like to have no relationship with Jammu and Kashmir in the future, if it becomes a slave to Pakistan. We would welcome it if it attains freedom.

We are in constant touch with those persons and parties of Jammu and Kashmir, which do not play in the hands of ISI and struggle on their own, instead of becoming agents of Pakistan for the freedom of their motherland. Kashmiris having the similar views are our brothers and we are also always prepared for all kinds of political talks and bargaining with them. But the real decision would be made by 2 million people of Balawaristan (Occupied Gilgit Baltistan) only.

BNF. The first representative of Pakistan (Sardar Alam) instead of discharging his subsidiary duties in lending his hand in the administrative affairs of a newly established Muslim state established his evil designs to destabilize sectarian harmony. Since then the innocent and simple people of Balawaristan (O.G.B.) are being treated as subjugated slaves. Whenever the people raise their voice against the violation of human rights and cruelties, they are suppressed ruthlessly.

HUMAN RIGHTS. Worst example of suppression was the incident of 14th August 1997, when the Pakistani law enforcing agencies opened indiscriminate fire and lathi charged on the peaceful procession of Balawaristan National Front (BNF), Karakoram National Movement (KNM) and Peoples Party Shaheed Bhutto Group (PPSBG) and 53 were arrested, among them 47 BNF, 5 KNM and 1 PPSBG throughout Balawaristan and tortured them severely in different torture cells, when they announced to observe "BLACK JUBILEE" in spite of Pakistan Golden Jubilee in Gilgit. It may be noted, that the police did not present the political detenues before magistrate for physical remand as per Pakistani rules and tortured them inhumanly, continuously for 16 days.

As a result I lost my eardrum and my eyesight weakened, while Mr. Ali Haider Taj the then president of PPSBG and the kidneys of Syed Manzoor Hussain Of BNF were badly damaged. The other workers body organs were also seriously damaged during torture. Arrested political persons were charged state treason Pakistani section 124 A as well as other heinous charges, where a single charge specially state treason was not applicable as the area was not a part of Pakistan. Here I would like to recall the memory of the civilized world, the text of the UNSC guarantee regarding the human and political rights in the state of J & K including Gilgit Baltistan (Balawaristan).

UNCIP. "It will be made publicly known throughout the state Jammu and Kashmir that peace, law and order will be safe guarded and that all human and political rights will be guaranteed."

BNF. According UNCIP resolutions of 13th Aug.1947 and 5th Jan.1949, to maintain law and order .is the duty of the "Local Authority" but not the Pakistani agents stationed in Balawaristan. Here I would like to draw your attention towards the UNCIP's important resolution regarding "Local Authority" in the Pakistani Occupied Kashmir (POK) and Balawaristan (Occupied Gilgit Baltistan)

UNCIP. "Part II section A.3 of the resolution of 13th Aug.1949 provides, that pending final solution, the territory of the state evacuated by the Pakistan troops would be administered by the "LOCAL AUTHORITY" under the surveillance of the commission".

BNF. In the presence of all the above mentioned commitment of UN and it's Security Council, what legal and moral right is left to Pakistan to impose it's civil and military administration in Balawaristan by violating UN and UNSC resolutions, while UNCIP resolution also provides guarantees of not prejudice to the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the state of Jammu and Kashmir including Balawaristan in it's general provision.

BNF APPEAL. I invite the attention of the UN and it's member countries, UN Sub Commission for Human Rights, Amnesty International, Asia Watch and other human rights organizations to divert their attention towards the most deteriorating human rights situation in this part of the world i.e.Balawaristan (OGB). Because Balawaristan (Occupied Gilgit Baltistan) is the only part of the world where the occupied forces do not recognize human rights, while the people in every nook and corner of the world enjoy and have basic human rights. Two million people of this disputed land have been deprived of all the basic, human, economical, cultural and political rights for the last 52 years.

Due to such worst colonial system imposed by the government of Pakistan, in the name of religion, as a result 2 million people of Balawaristan undergone worst life than the animals of civilized world even in 21st century. No status was given to us, as was proposed by the UN, stone age judiciary and administration was imposed by usurper Pakistan and there is no sense of human rights in this system which was also recognized by the Supreme Court of Pakistan itself in May, 1999 in a verdict, which was filed by some Pakistani agents. This is the part of the world, where a highest court (Chief Court) was established on contract basis, where no right of writ petition against human rights violation is allowed, while death sentences and other major punishments or awards are granted, without any further appeal in any High Court or Supreme Court against the illegal decision of a contract base retire Pakistani person. Just imagine the designation of the head of this court is not judge or justice but "Chairman" like local bodies elected chairman.

HUMAN RIGHTS. I would like to put some glimpses on few human rights violations in this part of the world, where no human rights organization exists. Mr.Nazir Ahmad, Kashorote Gilgit of grade 18 officer was tortured mentally to death by a Pakistani agent Chief Secretary Mahmood Khan and Home Secretary Nasir Ahmad and an unemployed youth Zakir Hussain was murdered by a Pakistani Military Lt.Col.Qazi Najeeb Pathan commandant of Chitral Scouts on 22nd Jun.1996, while two innocent Gujars named Rehmat Wali and Satar from Gilgit were murdered by police, but no cases could be filed against these human rights violation in that type of contract base court or anywhere.

LIST 1. NINE UNEMPLOYED YOUTH WERE KILLED BY ISI AND JAMAAT - E - ISLAMI AT THE BORDER, WHEN THEY REFUSED TO CROSS THE LOC FOR TERRORIST ACTIVITIES, IS ALSO ATTACHED WITH THE LETTER TO THE CHAIRMAN OF UN HUMAN RIGHTS GENEVA INSTEAD OF REGISTERING A CASE AGAINST ISI AND JAMAAT - E - ISLAMI, THE KINS OF THE DECEASED WERE THREATENED BY THE OCCUPIED PAKISTANI FORCES.

LIST 2. 28 YOUTH WERE SENT ACROSS LoC BY ISI FOR TERRORIST ACTIVITIES AS A RESULT THEY WERE KILLED BY INDIA ARMY. THE LIST SHOWN INTH THE H. RIGHTS CHAPTER. ONE ZAKIR HUSSAIN FROM ASTORE WAS KILLED BY PAKISTANi ARMY LIEUTENANT COLONEL QAZI NAJEEB ON 22nd JUN,1996 IN DEGREE COLLEGE GILGIT WHEN HE (THE DECEASED) APPROACHED FOR RECRUITMENT IN A PROPOSED LOCAL FORCE.

THE KILLER WAS ADMIRED BY PAKISTAN ARMY, BUT THE LOCAL PROTESTORS WERE ARRESTED AND CHARGED BY IMPOSING SECTION 124 A,WHO WERE DEMANDING THE ARREST OF THE MURDERER LT.COL.QAZI NAJEEB.

BNF APPEAL. We appeal to the world to put pressure on Pakistan to stop humiliation of 2 million people of Balawaristan (OGB) and give them worldly admitted right of freedom by holding referendum under the control and command of UN after pulling out Pakistani forces, administration, it's armed Pathan civilians, Afghan and Pakistani Taliban, Kashmiri and other terrorist groups and their master the ISI, for free, fair and impartial referendum.
