The Officials at almost all levels continue to commit serious abuses. Women and girls abducted by the Islamist group Boko Haram are forced to marry, convert, and suffer psychological and physical exploitation .

6-Afghanistan While talking about Human rights situation in Afghanistan, there is a lot of conflict and controversy. Especially Taliban was well responsible for the various fundamental rights violations in their time of government. Some areas are still under Taliban control, where Taliban abused, mainly against women and girls. A series of highly-profile attacks on women in Afghanistan highlighted the degree of threat that holds for Afghan women. The law that was adopted in 2009, to stop the violence against women, is still not enforced. The security shift in Afghanistan has moved rapidly as the International forces handing over areas to Afghan security forces.

4-Pakistan The condition of basic human rights is complex one in Pakistan because of many factors including diversity of the country, a large population and an Islamic republic with mixture of both Islamic and Secular laws.Several armed actions performed by the Taliban and their associates during 2013 Parliamentary elections. Many targeted killings and the bomb attacks carried out during that election by the Taliban militants. That was the first time a civilian government transferred the constitutional power to another civilian government in the history of Pakistan. Freedom of the press is permitted but still any report against the government policy or on a critical military issue is censored. Freedom House (Non-governmental association in U.S.) rated Pakistan as “Not Free” and gave a score of 64 out of 100.Human rights violation activities made in Baluchistan by the Security forces. The U.S. drone attacks on some Pakistani remote areas are also creating violent conditions. A number of people arrested by the security forces as suspected terrorists continue to suffer in illegal military custody without being produced in court or being prosecuted. Domestic violent behavior against the women is an epidemic social crisis in Pakistan. According to study conducted by the Human rights watch in 2009 about 70 to 90 percent of girls and women in Pakistan have undergone some abuse.

3-The Democratic Republic of Congo The human rights record in the State of Congo has remained poor in almost all sectors. The records are revealing the happening of various severe violations including Unlawful murders, disappearances, rape, torture, and uninformed arrest by the security forces. Important thing is that only a few actions were taken to penalize the violators. Several armed groups remain active, and their armed actions on the civilians are continued to occur. Political disputes have augmented all over the State with protests against the suggestions to change the Congo’s constitution and let President Joseph Kabila to run for a third term.
