What role can the UN play in redressing human rights violations in Punjab?

The United Nations system has numerous mechanisms that it can use to increase pressure on India to abide by its international human rights obligations. Most notably, the UN Working Group for Enforced and Involuntary Disappearances (WGEID), the Special Rapporteur for Extrajudicial Executions, and the Special Rapporteur for Torture are able to independently examine cases of human rights violations in Punjab and make recommendations for Indian institutional change. Ensaaf continues to engage with these three mechanisms about the situation of impunity in Punjab, as well as specific cases. Please read more about our UN Advocacy program.
