Abstract:

The fundamental content of human rights, including freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, also implies that all people are born free and have the same rights. As family members, people form unique businesses within society and are referred to as contributors. When we discuss 539 BC, we gain a better understanding of the victory over Babylon. All of the slaves of war were released by Cyrus, and they were free to go wherever they pleased, which became a brand new element for people. A great deal of emphasis was placed on human liberty and other rights, which was a remarkable act at the ti

Abstract:

The expression "parliamentary federal republic" is the clearest and most accurate way to describe Pakistan's political system. The Constitution of 1973, which established Pakistan as an Islamic Republic and designated Islam as the country's official religion, is primarily responsible for Islam's official status. Even though the Constitution protects religious minorities, it also grants Islam preferential status in society and safeguards the "Islamic way of life." Even if it does protect religious minorities. The freedom to practice any religion or belief system of one's choiceis a fundamental

Abstract:

In Pakistani context, the intersection of the right to life and the imposition of death penalty initiate a complex debate on justice and human rights. Advocates of the death penalty argue that it serves as a crucial deterrent, dissuading individuals from committing egregious crimes and contributing to public safety. They contend that in cases of extreme offences, capital punishment represents a proportional response, providing a sense of closure and justice to victims and their families. The legal framework surrounding the death penalty in Pakistan is often cited by supporters as a safeguard a

The rapid collapse of the Afghan government and the Taliban's return to power led to an oppressive regime with strict interpretations of Islamic law, limited rights for women and minorities, and a worsening humanitarian crisis. The country faced poverty, starvation, and human rights abuses, while the economy deteriorated due to the loss of foreign aid.

Human development and human rights share a common vision and purpose: to secure the freedom, well being and dignity of humanity. Human development is as essential for human rights as the latter is for the former. Historical evidence suggests that the more civilised societies were those that gave a higher priority to both, for example, the Greek, the Roman and the enlightened years of early Islam. The freedom from want is perhaps the one inalienable right of humanity which stands between dignity and indignity and which must be mitigated against by both state and individual.1 For the first time

Abstract:

Privacy, a core notion embedded in the philosophy of human rights and liberalism, is fueled by the fundamental principles of human dignity and autonomy. This comparative study attempts to examine the legal frameworks protecting privacy rights in Pakistan and Malaysia. Article 14 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973, ensures the protection of this right and prescribes its fundamental importance. This constitutional guarantee is further supported by various other legislation, such as the Electronic Transactions Ordinance, 2002, the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2023, et

Abstract:

We critically examine the definition of ‘terrorism’ in the Anti-Terrorism Act 1997 of Pakistan and as it is interpreted by the Supreme Court of Pakistan under the principle of legality in criminal and human rights law standards. 1 We conclude that the definition of terrorism under the Anti-Terrorism Act does not pass the test of the principle of legality and the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of Pakistan is inconsistent confounding the situation further. We recommend that Pakistan, following the principle of legality and human rights standards, amend the current definition of terrorism as

This article analyses the challenges and prospects of applying Islamic Ideology to Pakistan’s foreign policy. Historically, Pakistan is a country that advocates and defends Islamic ideology that drove the independence struggle of the Muslims of the Indian subcontinent and was outlined in the Pakistan Resolution (1940), the vision of Allama Muhammad Iqbal, and the three Pakistani constitutions. Peace, respect for human rights, protection of the right to self-determination, and support for the oppressed are the main structural elements of Pakistan’s foreign policy.

This paper investigates the structural and systemic injustices faced by intersex persons in Pakistan, exposing a deep disconnect between the constitutional, statutory, and international human rights frameworks and the lived realities of intersex individuals. By tracing the genealogy of the Khawaja Sira community and unpacking the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act 2018, the paper critiques the legislative conflation of transgender and intersex identities. It highlights how the collapse of legal categories not only erases intersex subjectivity but facilitates institutional exclusion

The Genealogies of complicity and struggle between Afghanistan and Pakistan date back to a single-page Agreement of 1893 (Duran line) and the invasion of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in 1979. The squabble of the World towards Pakistan with its inglorious policy to deport undocumented 1.7 million refugees to a war-stricken country is inhuman and wrong and leaves them as political pawns. The Mass Exodus of Afghan Refugees and the anti-immigrant policy of Pakistan trigger some legal questions: Why is Pakistan deporting Afghans at this point? Who hears the voice of suffering at t
