Committee: United nation human right council
(UNHRC)
Agenda: Disproportionate impact of police brutality on
protestors in conflict affected areas of South Asia
Country: Syria
Delegate: Zoha Adnan
The primary focus of United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) is on the protection
and promotion of human rights globally. Disproportionate impact of police brutality on
protestors in conflict affected areas of South Asia is one of the problems that comes under
UNHRC and has to be dealt immediately otherwise they could lead to undesirable consequences.
In South Asia, police brutality against protesters is a significant concern, particularly in conflict-
affected regions like Kashmir in India, Balochistan in Pakistan, and parts of Bangladesh and
Sri Lanka. These areas often experience political unrest, ethnic tensions, and protests, where
law enforcement is accused of using excessive force, violating human rights, and suppressing
dissent. The region's history of conflict and instability exacerbates these issues, making South
Asia a focal point for discussions on police brutality and state accountability in the UNHRC.
International responses to police brutality in South Asia have included widespread condemnation
from human rights organizations, such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch,
as well as calls for investigations and accountability from the United Nations and other global
bodies. These responses urge governments to reform policing practices and uphold international
human rights standards
Syria has faced a long civil war where the government has used violence, including police
brutality, against protesters. This situation is similar to what happens in conflict-affected areas of
South Asia, where police also use excessive force to control protests. Both regions show how
conflicts make these problems worse, raising global concerns about protecting people's rights
and holding authorities accountable
In South Asia and Syria, to reduce police brutality, there should be more international pressure
and better monitoring by human rights groups. Governments need to improve police training
and make sure they follow human rights rules. Setting up independent investigations to check
on police actions and encouraging talks between the government and the public can also help
protect people and reduce violence against protesters in these conflict areas.
