New Report Documents Systemic Judicial Corruption in Pakistan, Calls for Repeal of 26th and 27th Amendments
A 32-page report released on July 8 by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan and the International Federation for Human Rights documents what it describes as systemic, grand-scale corruption across Pakistan's justice system — including bribery, nepotism, and state capture of the upper judiciary. The report specifically cites the 26th and 27th constitutional amendments as having entrenched executive control over judicial appointments, and calls for both to be repealed.
