FIDH – Pakistan / Human rights in Pakistan: six recommendations ahead of the elections – Release of briefer

| 6 May 2013

Good evening,

As general elections are getting ready to take place in Pakistan, FIDH, in collaborations with its pakistani partner HRCP (Human Rights Commission of Pakistan), is releasing a briefer on the human rights situation in Pakistan. Our organisations call on the Pakistani government and the European Union to adopt a clear position on the following issues :

  1. Maintain democratic governance and rule of law
  2. Protect minorities, promote tolerance
  3. End impunity and promote accountability
  4. Protect women’s rights
  5. Enhance economic and social rights
  6. Protect human rights defenders and journalists

I invite you to read the full note on the recommendations to the Pakistani government and the European Union ahead of these elections : www.fidh.org/human-rights-in-pakistan-six-recommendations-ahead-of-the-elections-13211

Don’t hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.

Best regards,
Audrey
