00:00Ladies and gentlemen, on 22nd December, an announcement is received from the European Union.
00:05It states that Pakistan's statement by the spokesperson on the sentencing of 25 civilians by a military court.
00:12Below that, it states that the European Union notes with concerns the sentencing of 25 civilians by the military courts on 21st December in Pakistan.
00:23These verdicts are seen in inconsistent with the obligation that Pakistan has undertaken under the International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights.
00:34In line with Article 14 of ICCR, every person is entitled to free and fair trial.
00:41You can see this.
00:44After that, the UK's Foreign Office comments on this.
00:51They also say that the Foreign and Commonwealth and Development Office spokesperson said that
00:56while the UK respects Pakistan's sovereignty over its own legal proceedings, trying civilians in military courts lacks transparency, independent scrutiny and undermines the rights to a fair trial.
01:07You can see this as well.
01:09America Bahadur has also commented on the sentencing of 25 civilians in a Pakistani military tribunal.
01:20He explains that he is concerned that the military court's fair trial lacks judicial, independent, transparency and due process.
01:36I think we should be concerned about this.
01:41The rest of the UK and US are expressing their concerns.
01:47The European Union has given reference to ESP Plus.
01:52Let me tell you what ESP Plus is.
01:55ESP Plus is a huge advantage for our trade.
01:59Because you have signed the European Union Convention, you have to comply with it.
02:09If there is a violation, you may have to give up your ESP Plus status.
02:17Let me tell you what ESP Plus is.
02:20ESP Plus is a generalised system of preferences for Pakistan.
02:26The European Union has a trade and development scheme to promote sustainable development and good governance in developing countries.
02:36According to this, people can get their goods in the European Union without duty tariffs.
02:43Let me explain this to you.
02:45These days, there is a huge war of tariffs between China and the US.
02:50If you want to get something from a country, you have to put so much duty on it that it cannot be sent to you.
02:56The tariff-free market of 27 European Union countries is available under this arrangement.
03:03In return, these countries have to comply with the 27 international treaties on human rights, workers' rights, environment and good governance.
03:14There are three levels of this scheme.
03:17ESP, ESP Plus and Everything but Arms.
03:21The first level of the Pakistan scheme was ESP in 2002, which lasted until 2004.
03:27However, after being challenged in the WTO, Pakistan's status was terminated.
03:32Pakistan got the ESP Plus status in 2013.
03:35However, until January 2014-2017, the European Union had the duty-free access to Pakistan's goods.
03:44For the first time, the status of ESP Plus was extended from 2017 to 2023.
03:51According to the Ministry of Commerce, since the start of the ESP Plus status,
03:5665% increase in European markets has been seen in Pakistan's exports.
04:03Pakistan exports $ 8 billion to Europe.
04:08We get $ 5 billion from there.
04:11If we trade-off, our surplus is $ 3 billion.
04:15We earn $ 3 billion.
04:17In this way, Pakistan gets a surplus of $ 3 billion.
04:20If the 27 international conventions are not followed by the European Union,
04:28it will be difficult to maintain the status of the ESP Plus status.
04:33Starting with, one by one.
04:37I was looking at this.
04:39Haider Naqvi has written an editorial in the Daily Times.
04:45He also showed you this.
04:47He is saying that this is an unfounded criticism on the military trials.
04:52If we show it to him.
04:54The people who attacked, were they civilians?
04:57This question is also asked by the editorial.
04:59The trial took place in the military courts.
05:02After that, you can also challenge them in the civilian courts.
05:08Therefore, there is no example of that.
05:11The Peshawar High Court has also made some decisions in the military courts.
