"Madam President, the ISIS-affiliated Pakistani Taliban is intent upon trying to impose its warped and medieval view of the world on the people of Pakistan, particularly in the tribal areas on the Afghan border. Its latest barbaric, murderous attack against a school is symbolic for much of what it stands, irrationally, in opposition to – enlightenment, education, progress and equal rights for women. It is tragic that so many people, particularly children, have had to lose their lives at the hands of such a vile ideology. The Government of Pakistan obviously needs to do more to combat this form of home-grown terrorism, looking more carefully at the options and capabilities at its disposal.
I would also like to take this opportunity to look at the broader human rights situation in Pakistan. The Ahmadi Muslims, for instance, continue to be discriminated against by law and face hardships, some even paying with their lives. The Hudood Ordinances and the blasphemy laws are also of particular concern to this House. Pakistan’s GSP+ status is directly linked to its commitment to upholding universal human rights and, in my view, more needs to be done to ensure that Pakistan is fulfilling these obligations it has made to the European Union."@en1
