These amendments are an attempt to subjugate the judiciary
– The International Commission of Jurists has described the passage of 26th Constitutional Amendment as a blow to judicial independence, the rule of law, and human rights protection in Pakistan.
“They erode the judiciary’s capacity to independently and effectively function as a check against excesses by other branches of the State and protect human rights. “The core principle of the rule of law and the separation of powers according to which citizens and their freely chosen representatives have the right to participate in the legislative process culminating in the adoption and enactment of laws was flagrantly violated in this case,” added Canton.
These amendments directly violate Article 14 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights , which guarantees the right to equality before courts and tribunals and to a fair and public hearing by a competent, independent and impartial tribunal established by law. Article 10A of Pakistan’s Constitution also recognizes the right to a fair trial.
