Participants at a National Consultative Workshop on Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) in Faisalabad urged stronger legal safeguards, equal citizenship, and zero tolerance for religious hate to meet international human rights commitments. These reforms are deemed essential for Pakistan to retain its GSP-plus trade status with the European Union, which is vital for the country's exports and economic stability. Translating Universal Periodic Review (UPR) commitments into practical reforms is seen as crucial for strengthening Pakistan's international standing and democratic credentials. Failure to retain GSP+ could negatively impact Pakistan's economy, potentially weakening the PKR and influencing domestic gold prices.
