The European Union has warned Pakistan that continued access to the bloc’s preferential trade scheme will depend on measurable improvements in human rights, rule of law and governance. Jointly published by the European Commission and the E.U. High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, the report is the final monitoring assessment under the current GSP+ regulation. It described the National Commission for Human Rights (NCHR) as an increasingly important institution in advancing Pakistan’s human rights commitments. Beyond human rights, the report also assessed Pakistan’s implementation of GSP+ commitments on labor rights, environmental protection, climate change and sustainable development.
