The fundamental rights provided in the Constitution of Pakistan in 1973 and the United
Nations Charter differ in their scope and purpose.

1. Constitution of Pakistan (1973):

Pakistan's Constitution of 1973 guarantees various fundamental rights to its citizens, including
but not limited to the right to life, liberty, and security of person; freedom of speech, assembly,
and association; and the right to practice one's religion.

It also includes provisions related to equality before the law, protection against discrimination,
and safeguards for minorities.

2. United Nations Charter:

The United Nations Charter is not a document that primarily deals with individual fundamental
rights. Instead, it is the foundational treaty of the United Nations, outlining the principles and
purposes of the organization.

While the UN Charter emphasizes principles such as the maintenance of international peace
and security, respect for human rights, and the promotion of social progress, it does not detail
specific individual rights in the same way as a national constitution.

Purpose:

Constitution of Pakistan (1973): The fundamental rights in the Constitution of Pakistan outline
the rights and freedoms granted to the citizens of Pakistan, establishing a legal framework for
governance within the country.

United Nations Charter: The UN Charter serves as the foundational document for the United
Nations, outlining its principles and rules for international relations and cooperation.

Constitution of Pakistan (1973): Applicable specifically to the citizens of Pakistan within its
territorial boundaries.

United Nations Charter: Applicable to all member states of the United Nations.

cultural rights for Pakistani citizens.

United Nations Charter: Provides a framework for member states to respect and promote
human rights and fundamental freedoms, without specifying individual rights in detail.

Enforceability:

Constitution of Pakistan (1973): Fundamental rights in the Constitution of Pakistan can be

United Nations Charter: The Charter does not create legally binding obligations regarding the
protection of human rights. It primarily establishes principles of international cooperation.

settlement of disputes, and cooperation to maintain international peace and security.

and security.It's important to note that the UN Charter and national constitutions serve
different purposes. National constitutions, like Pakistan's 1973 Constitution, are the supreme
law of the land and directly address the rights and responsibilities of citizens within that
country. The UN Charter, on the other hand, focuses on the principles and functions of the
United Nations as an international organization, with a broader goal of maintaining peace and
cooperation among nations
