Pakistan’s 26th Amendment: A Blow To Judicial Independence? | India Today Global

Описание: Pakistan's 26th Constitutional Amendment has stirred intense controversy, with many criticising it as an attack on judicial independence and democratic institutions. Passed in a swift vote by Shehbaz Sharif’s government, the amendment shifts the power to appoint the Chief Justice of Pakistan to the Prime Minister, reduces the Chief Justice’s term, and gives a parliamentary committee more control over judicial appointments. Legal experts, civil society groups, and opposition parties fear that these changes compromise the judiciary's impartiality, potentially eroding public trust in the legal system. As political tensions rise, this amendment could have lasting effects on Pakistan's democracy.
