The western Baluchistan has been subject to repeated Persian policies of Persianzation,

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.
