💨 Abstract

The UN Human Rights Committee has criticized Pakistan's use of military courts to try civilians, urging immediate reform and compliance with international human rights standards. The Committee raised concerns about the high conviction rate, death sentences, lack of transparency in judicial consultations, and harassment of judges and prosecutors. It also highlighted issues with Pakistan's Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, freedom of movement policies, enforced disappearances, and restrictions on freedom of expression.
