The state has become dysfunctional in providing basic human rights to the people…The Pakistani society and the government remain under the strong grip of the military which does not allow them to interfere in the affairs of the armed forces.
…The laws for the benefit of women, religious minorities and against torture and enforced disappearances cannot be made without the prior approval from the military. The parliament has been made redundant and its decisions are occasionally reverted through the judiciary at the behest of the military.
