Pakistan has officially rejected the concerns expressed by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk regarding the 27th constitutional amendment. Turk described the amendment as hastily adopted and lacking broad consultation, which he believes undermines judicial independence and raises military accountability issues. In response, Pakistan's Foreign Office stated that all legislative actions, including constitutional amendments, are the exclusive domain of elected representatives. They emphasized the country's commitment to human rights and urged the High Commissioner to respect Pakistan's parliamentary sovereignty. The 27th amendment proposes significant changes, including the abolition of the 'Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee' and the introduction of a 'Chief of Defence Forces', along with the establishment of a Federal Constitutional Court and a reduction in the Supreme Court's powers.
