PESHAWAR, Oct 6: The International Human Rights Observer (IHRO), a human rights organization in UK, USA and Pakistan, has appealed to the international community, aid agencies, philanthropists and governments to come forward to save the lives of human beings in Afghanistan by donating food, clothes, medicines and other relief goods.

The IHRO has also urged the US President, George W. Bush, and other allied forces to shun the idea of launching strikes against Afghanistan in the name of humanity as any military action would add to the miseries of the suffering humanity and poor people in Afghanistan.

“War in Afghanistan means the worst violation of human rights in the world,” says a press release issued by the IHRO here on Saturday. “They (Afghans) must be given a chance to live not to die,” it stated.

There is a need to establish a “global investigation cell” for the search of real culprits involved in the terrorist attacks in the United States, because the US had failed to determine as to who had carried out the attacks, the press release added.

The IHRO believes that an attack against any state without proper investigation means endless disaster. President Gen Pervez Musharraf has chosen the best way out, said Khalid Aftab Suleri, president of the International Human Rights Observer.

He said that the international peace and justice committee of the IHRO had appealed to US President George W. Bush and other powers as well as the UNO to save the humanity from an imminent world war.

The IHRO suggested that an investigation cell should formed at the global level to search for the real culprits of attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. “Sacrificing the whole humanity for a single person is unfair and against the principles of humanity and human rights. A memorable penalty should be imposed on the real culprits so that any body even could not think of such terrorism in future. But if the war begins, it would be an endless disaster, the IHRO peace committee warned.
