humanrights.asia/news/urgent-appeals/AHRC-UAG-003-2013 PAKISTAN: Stop Merger of Ministry of Human Rights with Ministry of Law & Justice The government of Pakistan, through a notification, has merged the Ministry of Human Rights (MoHR) with the Ministry of Law and Justice (MoLJ) on June 7 and disallowed its functioning as an independent Ministry. The new Ministry has been named Ministry of Law, Justice, and Human Rights (MoLJ&HR). The general excuse given is that the government has re-organized the ministries to curtail expenses. However, the civil society of Pakistan has another view – that it was the effort of Benazir Bhutto to constitute an independent and autonomous ministry for human rights and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, in his rivalry, has abolished Ministry’s independence.
