CJP Yahya Afridi Vows Judicial Modernization, Renews Commitment to Human Rights on International Day

Today, as the global community observes International Human Rights Day, we renew our constitutional and moral commitment to safeguard the dignity, liberty, and equality of all people. This day commemorates the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) – a transformative global pledge that continues to inspire national constitutions, public institutions, and development strategies, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

In an era of rapid social, economic, and technological change, the judiciary of Pakistan remains firmly focused on strengthening the rule of law and ensuring that justice is accessible and responsive to the needs of every citizen. Our ongoing reform initiatives aim to modernize judicial processes, promote transparency, and meaningfully reduce the barriers that prevent people – especially the marginalized – from securing their rights.

From improving court procedures and embracing technology, to enhancing judicial training and strengthening institutional coordination, each step of reform reflects our commitment to a citizen-centric justice system – one that treats every individual with respect, ensures timely remedies, and upholds fairness without fear or favour.
