The assessment presents a crucial opportunity for UN Member States to peer review Pakistan\u2019s human rights record and to hold the authorities accountable for their failure to uphold their human rights obligations and commitments.\u201cThe UPR also offers a chance to assess Pakistan\u2019s implementation of recommendations from previous reviews \u2013 the last of which was held in 2018. Pakistan promised to criminalize enforced disappearances and to hold perpetrators accountable, but neither have happened despite attempts to legislate against the practice. Commitments to protect minority groups from discrimination have been eclipsed by violent, often deadly attacks against them that have been carried out with impunity. The grip on the press and civil society has only tightened in the five years since.\u201cAmnesty International strongly urges all UN Member States to engage in effective and meaningful discussions with Pakistan, including following up on their past recommendations and offering concrete recommendations to improve respect for human rights in the country.\u201d<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1677410455965{border-bottom-width: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1677413619890{padding-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;]By Amnesty Ahead of Pakistan\u2019s fourth Universal Periodic Review (UPR) on 30 January, Rimmel Mohydin, regional campaigner at Amnesty International, said: \u201cPakistan\u2019s fourth UPR arrives at a tumultuous time for human rights in Pakistan, with political upheaval, economic instability, climate crisis, and an oppressed civil society enabling the environment&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4619,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[240],"tags":[],"thb-sponsors":[],"class_list":["post-4617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rights-media-perspectives"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saperspectives.net\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saperspectives.net\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saperspectives.net\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saperspectives.net\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saperspectives.net\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4617"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.saperspectives.net\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4617\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4624,"href":"https:\/\/www.saperspectives.net\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4617\/revisions\/4624"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saperspectives.net\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saperspectives.net\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saperspectives.net\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saperspectives.net\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4617"},{"taxonomy":"thb-sponsors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saperspectives.net\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thb-sponsors?post=4617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
