Will the EU Continue Enabling Pakistan's Abuse Towards Christians?
Pakistan has benefited from the EU's Generalized Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP+) for over a decade, allowing its products to enter the EU market with reduced duties. Despite this economic support, the country has failed to make significant progress in human rights, particularly for its Christian minority. Reports indicate that Christians in Pakistan face severe persecution, including abduction and forced conversion, raising questions about the EU's continued support for Pakistan.
- ▪Pakistan's exports to the EU nearly doubled from 2014 to 2022, reaching almost 15 billion EUR.
- ▪The GSP+ scheme requires Pakistan to implement 27 international treaties regarding human rights and labor rights.
- ▪Christian girls in Pakistan are particularly vulnerable to abduction and forced conversion, with around 1,000 cases reported annually.
