Islamabad: The Global Day of Conscience will be observed worldwide, including in Pakistan, tomorrow, April 5th, which falls on a Saturday.
According to a declaration by the United Nations General Assembly, this day is celebrated every year on April 5th to promote the idea of establishing peaceful and stable relationships between people globally based on human rights and fundamental freedoms.
The United Nations, being the largest international organization, initiated the observance of such a day, and the global community has responded positively to this call by observing this day worldwide.
However, it remains crucial to reflect on how seriously international organizations, including the United Nations, and the global community take the message conveyed through this observance.
A key test of these organizations and the international community is how they address the treatment of minorities in India, the country that claims to be the world’s largest democracy, and whether their fundamental rights are being safeguarded.
