While Western democracies proclaim to lead the way in the advancement,
protection and promotion of human rights, some question the foundations and
universality of the liberties and rights included in civil and political covenants
such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This scepticism is
particularly relevant to well-intended, intellectual debates impacting on the
Middle East and South Asia. The paper aims to challenge the scepticism around
the universality of human rights placing an emphasis on their implications for
minority groups. The examples of Canada and the United Kingdom are used to
draw conclusions for Pakistan.
