Pakistan bound by UN conventions, says SC during Afghans’ expulsion hearing

On Friday, the Supreme Court emphasized that Pakistan, as a signatory to United Nations (UN) conventions safeguarding refugee rights, is bound by these agreements. The court resumed its examination of the petition challenging the eviction of Afghan refugees, with Justice Ayesha Malik suggesting a constitutional interpretation due to the complexity of deportation issues. She proposed the formation of a larger bench to delve deeper into the matter.
