The objective of this research is to examine the role of the Election Commission in strengthening the democracy system in Pakistan through a comparative analysis of electoral management systems in India, USA, and Pakistan. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of recent electoral reforms and recommend further improvements in the electoral process in Pakistan. A comparative analysis of electoral management systems in other countries can provide valuable insights and recommendations for Pakistan. The research methodology used in this research is a qualitative approach, including a review of existing literature, analysis of data from official reports, and interviews with key stakeholders. The study found that the Election Commission in Pakistan has faced challenges due to political interference, lack of resources, and inadequate use of technology. Comparatively, the Election Commissions in India and the USA have implemented best practice. The report suggests the following changes to improve Pakistan's voting system based on its results. The first step is to create a neutral Election Commission, followed by the use of technology, the promotion of voter education, the reform of campaign financing, and the avoidance of violence at polling places.

“…It is a type of federalism based on the distribution of power between the center and the federating unit in a very explicit way. The constitution acts as a guarantor to safeguard the interest of the respective governments (Tariq, 2018). Although most territories in democratic federations have some form of representative government for local affairs, the citizens residing in territories may have fewer political rights than their co-citizens residing in the constituent units (Bulmer, 2015, p.22).…”

This article discusses federalism and deferent theories related to it. Federalism as a theory, as a concept and as an organizational structure refers to the distribution of powers between the two levels of the government. It stands for unity, cooperation, and interdependence between the central government and the component units. Being dynamic in nature, it adopts changes according to the prevailing conditions of the country. An attempt has been made to elucidate federalism from two broad perspectives of the classical approach and Modern approach. The classical approach restricts federalism to cooperation and independence with quasi federalism, coupled with the element of encroachment from the federal government. This approach is merely based upon the doctrine of legal formalism or formalism fallacy. The modern approach focuses on two cardinal principles of cooperation and interdependence. The modern theory is a broad term and encompasses many forms of federalism within its ambit.

Pakistan was born with many concomitant rudimentary problems and a refugee crisis was among foremost of them. This article examines the socio-legal response of Pakistan for the settlement of the refugee crises. Pakistan accepts refugee as fait accompli. Pakistan has a long and complex history with refugees, encompassing various waves of displacement and the challenges associated with hosting large numbers of people fleeing conflict or persecution. This includes the migration of refugees during Pakistan's independence in 1947, the influx of Kashmiri refugees during the 1948, 1965, and 1971 wars between Pakistan and India, and the 1990s insurgency in Indian-held Kashmir, and the prolonged presence of Afghan refugees in Pakistan since the 1970s. In addition, Pakistan was held responsible for producing refugees in 1971 when Bangladesh came into existence. The research adopted qualitative method to examine existing material available on the topic. The International legal framework for refugee protection is also taken into account. After thorough analysis research indicates that Pakistan does not lag anywhere in the hierarchy of nations to safeguard critical human rights including the rights of refugees
