Pakistan successfully concluded its constructive dialogue with the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) in Geneva on 3–4 November 2026, presenting its 2nd Periodic Report.
Led by Minister of State for Law & Justice @BrAqeelMalik, Pakistan reaffirmed its commitment to the progressive realisation of economic, social and cultural rights, advancing dignity, equality and opportunity for all.
The review highlighted key national priorities and progress in:
🔹 Social protection and healthcare
🔹 Education and inclusive development
🔹 Protection of minorities and vulnerable groups
🔹 Equitable use of natural resources
🔹 Strengthening legislative and institutional frameworks
The review emphasised Pakistan’s considerable progress across the full range of economic, social and cultural rights, and the imperative to uphold the indivisibility of all human rights, with ESC rights treated at par with civil and political rights.
Pakistan also underscored the importance of international assistance and cooperation in advancing these rights, particularly amid declining ODA, mounting debt and growing global challenges.
Pakistan appreciates the Committee’s constructive engagement and remains steadfast in its commitment to strengthening human rights protections, advancing social justice and ensuring that no one is left behind.
