It is heartening to note that Pakistan joins the international community in celebration of International Human Rights Day, today with a firm commitment to accord high priority to safeguard the Human Rights.
Protection of Human Rights is guided by the lslamic injunctions and the Constitution of Pakistan. Islam enjoins upon us the sacred task of upholding the dignity and protection of human beings.
In line with our religious, moral, national and international commitments, we are committed to undertake a number of steps for protection and promotion of Human Rights in the country. Since, the task of Human Rights requires partnership between public agencies & civil society; therefore, I request the NGOs, volunteers, philanthropists, national & international development partners, media and corporate sector to come forward and play a significant role to ameliorate human rights situation which is our national duty.
I also appreciate the UN agencies, Non-Governmental Organizations and Media for their endeavors in supplementing the Government's efforts to create conducive environment for our people. I hope they will continue pursuing this noble cause with the same spirit.
May Allah bless us in this important mission-Aameen.
