Fundamental Rights in Pakistan

The constitution of Pakistan guarantees ‘Fundamental Rights to all its citizens. The state of Pakistan is party to a number of International Treaties regarding Human Rights, which include a Covenant on Civil and Political Rights including the various treaties dealing with particular Rights like CEDAW about women’s Rights, Racial Discrimination Convention, Child Rights Convention, and Convention against Torture. There are a number of Non Governmental Organizations actively keeping an eye on any abuse of Fundamental Rights. This should mean the guarantee of Fundamental Rights in Pakistan but the reality on ground is rather dismal. Everything from social practices, state policies and the approach of those who are responsible for ensuring Fundamental Rights as guaranteed by Pakistan’s Constitution and international obligations are far from satisfactory.
