Pakistan is a member state of the United Nations (UN) and is obligated to report its progress on the implementation of UN core conventions. The reporting process involves submitting periodic reports to the respective treaty bodies, which are expert committees established by the UN to monitor the implementation of specific human rights treaties.
The treaty bodies review the reports and provide comments and recommendations to the government of Pakistan on how to improve compliance with the conventions. The treaty bodies may also request additional information from the government of Pakistan or hold a direct dialogue with the government to discuss specific issues related to the implementation of the conventions.
Under the UN reporting system, reporting periodicities are different for the treaties. Generally, the initial report after ratification is submitted within one or two years. Periodic reports need to be submitted after two years (CERD), four years (CCPR, CEDAW, CAT) or five years (CESCR, CRC, CRMW).
Please find below the state party reports submitted by the Government of Pakistan and Concluding observations issued by Treaties after reviewing state party reports and additional information from government or other sources.
