PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Bar said there is so much more to be done by the Pakatan Harapan government to improve the state of human rights in the country.

Fareed said the country’s human rights record had been “severely challenged” with the government’s about-turn on international rights conventions, including the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and the refusal to accede to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
