In 1948, Soon after the creation of Pakistan, Pakistan invaded the sovereign independent state of Balochistan and forcefully annexed it into Pakistan. Balochistan, rich in oil, gas and minerals with a 900 miles of strategically located warm water coastline is under the Pakistani illegal occupation for the last 60 years. Ever since, the Baloch people have fought and are still fighting against the illegal occupation of their land and the exploitations of their resources to restore their freedom back. Thousands Baloch have died in this war. Many are missing and thousands of Balochs including women and children have been made homeless due to Pakistani bombardments and they are living under harsh conditions. Shortly after the murder of top Baloch nationalist leader Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti by Pakistani military in Aug 2006, Baloch people gathered at the "Grand Balochi Jirga",The Grand Balochi Jirga (gathering) denounced the Pakistani military operation in Balochistan and extra judicial killing of Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti and they unanimously made a declaration to challenge the illegal occupation of Balochistan at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Hague. |

A team of expert International lawyers has been consulted to handle the case. All the preliminary ground work has been completed. The Only thing that remains is the funding of the case.
