In present-day, intense relationship between ethnic diversity and human rights conditions is witnessed immensely in
most countries of the world. The states having various ethnic groups are considered to be more complex in dealing
with individual’s rights. Pakistan is a plural state comprising of several nationalities and is facing serious violation
of human rights conditions. Human Rights are set of basic rights in law to ensure an acceptable level of individual
respect for all. Ethnic tensions between ethnicities are so evident in Pakistan and are taken as a threat to one’s self
and respect. Thus, in this research paper, the relationship between Human Rights and ethnic diversity has been
studied. It has also analyzed the impact of this relationship on country’s development process.

i.e. freedom of speech which is one of the major tenant of democracy. Democracy is considered to be one of the
major factors of development process of any country. Plural societies are less inclusive as compared to
homogeneous societies which increases the chances of more political conflicts. These conflicts of different groups
negatively affect the development of the country. The paper has also identified variation in conditions of human
rights which are prevailing in Pakistan related to various ethnic groups. Moreover, a qualitative method has been

and civil rights of diverse groups would be ensured and realized, then conflicting tendency may be curtailed that can
pave the way towards development. This paper has tried to present the solutions for making covenants, based on
working procedures and effectiveness of institutions, which can respond to political and civil rights of various ethnic
groups in Pakistan in a justified manner.
