[Dawn] Pakistain's Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that the federal and provincial governments have failed in providing security to the people of restive Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
, the country's biggest province.

Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry said that the Balochistan government had lost its constitutional authority, and that the police alone could not be held responsible for the province's unrest.

A three-judge bench of the Supreme Court, comprising the chief justice, Justice Gulzar Ahmed and Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed, issued an interim order on a petition of the Balochistan High Court Bar Association on the breakdown of law and order and human rights
...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions...
violations in the province.
