Pakistan has ratified several human rights treaties, including the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD), and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). However, the government has made reservations about the CEDAW treaty, declaring the supremacy of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and Sharia law over its provisions. This has led to daily human rights abuses against women, religious minorities, and other ethnic and non-religious minorities in Pakistan. The report focuses on three key areas: human rights violations against minorities, women, and minorities in the Azad Kashmir region.
