A group of British Parliamentarians has initiated an inquiry titled Gender Apartheid Investigations, to determine the status of women and girls in Afghanistan and Iran. According to the details, the parliamentary group led by British lawmaker Ms Helena Kennedy QC is currently gathering evidence and documents regarding the situation of women and girls in Afghanistan and Iran. As claimed, this investigation marks the world’s first comprehensive examination of the status of women and girls in Afghanistan and Iran, evaluating it against existing international legal definitions of international crimes.
British lawmakers are very concerned about the human rights situation and the ongoing gender-based suppression of both cleric regimes in Afghanistan and Iran. This issue is globally recognized by human rights organizations and much has been said and done against it at the global level. Interestingly, the human rights situation is not more promising in the UK today where the Sonik government approved the anti-migrant bill which contradicts the global human rights charter and the European Union Human Rights Declaration. Ironically, British tories are mulling over several unconstitutional and immoral measures to deceive the UK’s constitution, the British Judiciary, and the global community as well. Meanwhile, the predecessors of British tories had sewed the seeds of illegal occupation and hostilities in their former colonies including Kashmir and Palestine through their biased and politically motivated policies and conduct which caused two worse humanitarian crises in Muslim-majority territories along with giving birth to unceasing conflicts in those regions.
As the British lawmakers have already started volunteer work to ascertain gender apartheid in Iran and Afghanistan, they should also look into the cases of Israeli-occupied Palestinian and Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) to ascertain the legality of the rule of occupying forces and the state of human and religious rights there. Palestine and Kashmir disputes are the two long-held unresolved disputes on the agenda of the United Nations. The ICJ and the ICC can provide bulk evidence on them. It is a big question on the morality and conscious of the British Parliamentarians if their investigations are not biased and impaired.
