Islamabad (HRNW) — The Law and Justice Commission of Pakistan has recommended a constitutional amendment for the establishment of an International Commercial Court of Pakistan, aimed at providing a specialized judicial forum for the speedy, effective, and transparent resolution of international commercial disputes.
The recommendation has been forwarded to the government. According to the proposal, the suggested court would focus on complex commercial disputes involving international trade, foreign investment, and cross-border business matters through a specialized judicial mechanism.
However, the proposal has also drawn public debate, with some questioning whether reforms should first focus on reducing the large backlog of pending cases in existing courts and improving access to justice for ordinary citizens who often face lengthy delays in legal proceedings.
Human Rights Perspective
HRNW emphasizes that timely and effective justice is a fundamental human right. Any improvement in the judicial system, whether for commercial disputes or ordinary legal matters, should be based on principles of transparency, equality, fairness, and equal access to justice.
A strong justice system must ensure that citizens, businesses, and investors all have access to an independent, efficient, and reliable legal process.
