This is to inform you that the 30th Regular Session of Human Rights Council is held in Geneva (Switzerland) from 14 September - 2 October 2015. In this session there are at least 10 participants from India. From Manipur there are two participants namely Mr. Irom Singhjit Singh and Mr. Kshetrimayum Onil. The session gives 2 minutes (official) for every speakers from civil societies who are accredited to UN.
Mr. Kshetrimayum Onil gave a statement under the general debate of Item 2 agenda Annual Report of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and Reports of the Office of the High Commissioner and the Secretary-General. The statement are as follows:
Our organization request to the Office of the High Commissioner for the commendable he has been doing under the able leadership of the honorable High Commissioner . The exercise of the High Commissioner is tedious process to bring out the key factors of gross human rights violation across the countries though largely unaddressed issues against the minorities in India remain unreported in the report.
Mr. President, although there is a huge regime of human rights available for the promotion and protection of human rights but we witness more miseries and conflicts around the globe. Despite of several forum to address the issues but due to the one sided cycle of international players and superpowers issues were dealt differently rather than holistic approach of one human kind. As human rights commissioner has rightly point out in case of certain situation the failure of international community to stop the human rights violence and also the scarcity of resources and hostile conditions for the civil society by the governments in different situations.
Mr. President, we are dismayed although Human Rights Commissioner has discussed all situation and thematic issues but the situations of Dalits in mainland India, mongoloids races in North Eastern region of India and other minorities in India has not been discussed in this report. We would like to draw your kind attention of the Commissioner to include the reports. The discrimination and racism face by these minorities is abysmally in dire situation since independence India. Your special attention would be deeply appreciated to reach out the values of human rights in the country.
I thank you Mr. President.
