A NOTE ABOUT THIS PAPER FROM THE HUMAN RIGHTS ADVISORY GROUP (HRAG) OF THE PUNJABIS IN BRITAIN ALL PARTY PARLIAMENTARY GROUP, WESTMINSTER, UK

HRAG has produced this paper in order to assess the causes of the Punjab conflict and to establish a credible solution based on human rights and international law. The implementation of self-determination to this conflict appears to be the key to resolving this conflict and indeed many others around the world. It is the only means by which the international community can deliver a process by which a peaceful and just outcome can be secured. HRAG has conducted extensive research in to the back ground issues, deliberated them at public meetings held at the Houses of Parliament in Westminster and received valuable input and assistance from concerned organisations and individuals alike, all of whom to which we are sincerely grateful.
