ABSTRACT
It was argued in Chapter 4 that if human rights are incorporated in the PRSP framework, it may provide a feasible way to realize the RTD because firstly, such a framework has become effective in the backdrop of negotiations between states and the IFIs. Secondly, it will place responsibility on the state, which has the primary duty, under the Declaration, to realize the RTD. This chapter mainly builds on the arguments made in Chapter 4 and looks at Pakistan’s present PRSP vis-à-vis the RTD. It focuses on judicial reforms currently being pursued under the PRSP to see whether an effective and efficient judicial service at the grass-roots level can ensure the protection of fundamental rights.
