National Human Rights Commission Members Resign following the cancellation of the ordinance issued during the interim government. All members of the commission stepped down on Monday (April 13, 2026), after the National Parliament passed the “National Human Rights Commission (Repeal and Reintroduction) Bill” last Thursday. This legislative change reintroduces the 2009 law, nullifying the recent executive orders.
Legislative Shift: National Human Rights Commission Members Resign
The decision for National Human Rights Commission Members Resign came after Nur Khan, a prominent member of the outgoing team, cited a lack of clarity regarding their tenure. Since their appointments were based on an ordinance that no longer exists, they collectively decided to submit a public letter of resignation. The new bill passed in Parliament rejects the interim reforms and brings back the original legal framework of the 2009 Act.
Secretary of the commission, Kudrat-e-Elahi, confirmed that the National Human Rights Commission Members Resign was an automatic consequence of the ordinance’s repeal. The legal transition ensures that the commission’s structure returns to its previous state before the interim government’s intervention. This mass resignation marks a significant shift in the country’s human rights governance as the new parliament asserts its authority over previous executive decisions.
