Fresh Trouble For Pakistan: European Leaders Call For GSP+ Suspension Over 'Religious Extremism'

Описание: A side event at the 60th UN Human Rights Council reignited calls to suspend Pakistan’s GSP+ trade benefits with the EU over human rights violations. The session, titled "Europe's Dilemma: Pakistan, GSP+ & Human Rights", featured a new investigative documentary and remarks from key EU figures. MEP Barbara Bonte warned that EU trade incentives have unintentionally boosted radical religious education in Pakistan, citing the rise of over 30,000 madrasas linked to extremism. She urged an immediate suspension of GSP+ status, stating Pakistan has failed to meet its human rights and religious freedom commitments. EFP director Inna Chefranova echoed the call, noting prior EU resolutions in 2014 and 2021 urging compliance. Both urged the EU Commission to act, highlighting the risks of continuing trade preferences amid ongoing violations.
