An attempt to keep the Baluch nation in chain and divide Baluchistan
among looters is morally and theoretically unstable and politically
unsustainable. That is true the post colonial states have developed a
technique to maintain the artificial boundaries. The problem for Iran
and Pakistan is that the states boundaries not sustainable.
If
the Baluch come to the international community under the heading of a
nation they get nothing other than the article 27 rights; the current UN
frame work provide no incentive for the Baluch to identify themselves
as a nation inside another states. Because a nation is entitle to an
independent state.
The western Baluchistan has been subject to
repeated Persian policies of Persianzation, including the suppression of
Baluchi language rights, renaming towns and villages to wipe out
evidence of Baluch history and settlement policies that attempt to swamp
the Baluchistan with Persian settlers.
Some Baluch have gone
to the United Nations working group on minorities to complain that
their rights as nation minority inside Iran are not respected. But the
united nation does not recognise Baluch as a nation having any
distinctive right. Would they re-label their identity that time will
tell?
The stateless people under the UNPO are debating to
redefine their status as an indigenous people to gain some international
protection. The international community never recognise the Baluch
right to national self determination. Unless Baluch nation uses national
self determination as powerful tool to mobilise members to defend their
claim to independent state and develop a power to destabilise a state.
