There should be review and reform of the legal framework regulating media activities, particularly the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) Ordinance 2007, the so-called Voluntary Code of Conduct and the Press, Newspapers, News Agencies and Books Registration Ordinance 2007. The restrictions on media content should be reduced and clear-cut definitions should be introduced so as to avoid legal uncertainty. Other provisions, which supersede laws already existing, should be repealed.
