The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) has expressed concern over the growing sense of powerlessness among ordinary people in the country. The HRCP stated that economic deprivation and unemployment are contributing factors to this issue. The upcoming general elections have also led to political engineering, which has affected democracy, electoral politics, and the rule of law.

The HRCP criticized the curbs on freedom of expression and the removal of journalists for expressing dissenting opinions. They also called for accountability in cases of enforced disappearances and for victims and their families to receive reparations. The HRCP highlighted the law and order situation in Sindh and Punjab, urging immediate attention from the provincial governments. They demanded the mainstreaming of newly merged districts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and expressed concern over the revival of the FATA Tribunal.

The rising number of suicides, particularly in Sindh, South Punjab, and Gilgit, was also addressed. Special protection for vulnerable groups, such as child domestic workers, and the right to fair wages and safe working conditions for fisherfolk, miners, and sanitation workers were emphasized. The HRCP raised concerns over the allotment of collectively owned land in Gilgit-Baltistan to private individuals and the impact of environmental degradation on people's health and livelihood. Overall, the HRCP called for the protection of human rights and highlighted the need for immediate action on various pressing issues in Pakistan.
