  • Pakistan Parliamentary Elections, 25 July 2018: EU EOM Final Report
    ELECTION OBSERVATION DELEGATION TO THE GENERAL ELECTIONS IN PAKISTAN (25 JULY 2018) Report by Jean LAMBERT, Chair of the EP Delegation Annexes: A. Participants B. European Parliament Election Observation Delegation Statement Introduction: A seven member delegation of the European Parliament observed the parliamentary elections in Pakistan that took place on 25 July 2018. The Conference of Presidents had authorised the mission on 7 June 2018, noting that this authorisation was subject to the deployment of an EU Election Observation Mission (EOM) and “to the ... security situation on the ground not precluding the sending of such a mission”. The particular conditions placed on the mission were in the light of the serious security challenges faced by Pakistan, which was rated as one of the ten countries in the world most severely affected by terrorism. Despite some relative improvement (2017 witnessed a 16% decrease in the number of terrorist attacks) there had been 40 major incidents of terrorism- related violence in the first six months of 2018. This had significant implications for the EOM, which did not deploy short term observers and did not observe in Balochistan where the worst violence had occurred. The EP delegation was required to travel in armoured vehicles and was restricted in its deployment on Election Day to the Islamabad Capital Territory, Rawalpindi and Jhelum - all locations within a day’s return travel from the hotel where the delegation was based. The problems caused by the security challenges for the EOM were compounded by the unprecedented delays in the deployment of its observers (which had not been the case during previous election observation missions).
