ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Chief Justice Yahya Afridi on Monday said the Supreme Court was expanding partnerships with judicial bodies in Muslim countries and finalizing an ethics charter on artificial intelligence to improve court efficiency.
Justice Afridi was speaking at the Judicial Conference in Islamabad, which is held to mark the beginning of the judicial year. The ceremony was attended by senior judges of the country and members of bar councils to highlight the judiciary’s performance and initiatives.
The Pakistani judge said that in an interconnected world, it is not possible to strengthen judicial institutions in isolation. He mentioned that the top court had prepared a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Supreme People’s Court of China, while a draft MoU with the Constitutional Court of Türkiye is also under review.
“This Court is also engaged in cooperative exchanges with the Supreme Courts of Bangladesh, Iran, Azerbaijan, and Denmark, and efforts are underway to expand collaboration with the Muslim World League of Saudi Arabia,” Justice Afridi said.
The Pakistani judge hoped these partnerships would lead to the strengthening of the Supreme Court’s institutional capacity and bring global best practices into Pakistan’s judicial system.
