The Working Group was established bythe UN Commission on Human Rights in 1980 to assist families in determiningthe fate and whereabouts of disappeared relatives. It endeavours to establisha channel of communication between the families and the Governments concerned, to ensure that individual cases are investigated, with the objective of clarifying the whereabouts of persons who, having disappeared, are placed outside the protection of the law. In view of the Working Group's humanitarian mandate, clarification occurs when the fate or whereabouts of the disappeared person are clearly established. The Working Group continues to address cases of disappearances until they are resolved. It also provides assistance in the implementation by States of the United Nations Declaration on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance.

OH!  My  Allah
Our  most  respected, devoted, hard working, wonderful  friend  MUKHTAR  AZMI   killed.  Hell  for killers.
Our  beloved  Mukhtar  Azmi  was  a  great  person.  He  built  MAZ  from  zero  to  a  top class  Adverising Company.  He  was  a  Pakistan  Delegate  to  Various  Media  Congresses.  What  a  great  loss.
 
I  pray  for  him  and  hearfelt  condolences  for  his  wonderfull  son.  I  am  depressed  to  learn.  What  JJ  is  doing  in  this  idiotic  city  Karachi,  which  we  built.
 
Pakistan Advertising  Association   must establish  an  Advertising  Hall/Foundation   or  so.  Where  material  about  Pakistan  Advertising  must  be  collected.  Avertising  great  personalities  like  Nusrat Bukhari, C.A Rauf, M. Mushtaque, Ch. Ghafoor, Sultan Mehmood. Aziz Khan, S.H.Hashmi  and  dozens others  need  a  permanent  citation.  I  compiled  50  page  " PAKISTAN ADVERTISING KI DASTAN E TARRAQI "  in  Nawai Waqt, Karachi  is  probably  the  only  printed  document.
 
Tyrant  killing  of  MUKHTAR AZMI  is  an  eye  oener  for  Masood  Hashmi  and  Dara Bashir..........Tariq Khan.
