Islamabad, Pakistan (HRNW)-Human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, have strongly criticized Pakistan’s Twenty-seventh Constitutional Amendment, warning it undermines judicial independence and the rule of law by granting broad immunity to certain officials and weakening separation of powers. Critics stress that this erosion of checks and balances violates international human rights obligations and could jeopardize citizens’ rights to fair trial and access to justice.
