| Summary: | Hazara is an ethnic minority in Afghanistan with Mongol tribes and live in the
central highland region of Afghanistan known as Hazarajat. Unlike the majority of
the region that is considered Sunni Islam, Hazara is overwhelmingly Shia. These
differences became the main reason of Taliban to prosecute them. Persecution of
Hazara people refers to systematic discrimination, ethnic cleansing and murder. The
violations toward Hazara breach the principles that laid down in Universal
Declaration of Human Rights 1948 and International Covenant on Civil and Political
Rights.
This research is using normative legal research as the method, which means that
the writer collects the data altogether through literary studies such as laws and
regulations, books, journal, and other valid information that are related to the
research. The writer applies a normative approach to discover the general principles
of law and examines how International Human Rights law can be applied in the case
study of persecution of Hazara.
Regarding to the result of this research, the writer can conclude that Afghanistan
is fully responsible towards Hazara as a victim of persecution. In this regard, the
Taliban who replace government of Afghanistan worsen the persecution towards
Hazara. The presence of new Afghanistan Constitution of 2002 should be an
opportunity of Afghanistan government in order to reaffirm faith in fundamental
human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of
citizens and to promote the protection of human rights in Afghanistan. The
establishment of Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commisions (AIHRC)
based on Afghanistan Constitution of 2002 should be one of the ways to help Hazara
in guaranteeing their rights. |
