The European Union has raised serious concerns over Pakistan's human rights record, warning that the country's preferential trade benefits under the Generalised Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP+) could be at risk unless key reforms are implemented.
The EU's latest monitoring report highlights concerns over enforced disappearances in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, accountability for alleged human rights violations, freedom of expression, judicial independence, and the rule of law.
While acknowledging some legislative progress, Brussels says Pakistan must address these shortcomings to remain eligible for GSP+ benefits under the revised framework that takes effect in 2027.
