Pakistan is a developing country where human rights work is limited and the existing human rights network is not so developed. There is a dire need of raising human rights issues in the country at grass roots level, but the capacit6y of community based organizations and support NGOs to promote human rights empowerment is weak, mainly due to lack of human rights awareness and basic organizational skill. The need is to initiate activities with the emphasis on minorities’ rights, women’s rights, culture of peace and tolerance, combating terrorism and other such issues by working together with the international organizations and the government of Pakistan in a coordinated manner. In today’s Pakistan the various shades of intolerance i.e. religious, ethnic, cultural caused in the recent past the latest manifestation: political intolerance. The need is to create such an environment that could be a strong and sustainable mechanism to resist and eliminate terrorism either in the name of religion or ethnicity. Under the circumstances, it becomes imperative for human rights activists and such organizations to work with great zeal and fervour to enhance the noble cause of human rights. With the same spirit the Human Rights Council of Pakistan has been an active organization in protecting human rights and promoting culture of peace and tolerance in Pakistan. Since its inception in 1992, the HRC has taken several steps for the cause of human rights and democracy in Pakistan. The activities carried out by the HRC, have received wide range coverage in all national media.
