Pakistan has codified its most ambitious restructure of its military and judiciary in decades after President Asif Ali Zardari signed his assent to ratify the country's 27th constitution, sparking debate over whether the overhaul will strengthen or upset its military balance. The new framework aims to reduce the role of the military in politics and increase civilian oversight. Analysts say the changes may help to build trust between the government and the armed forces, but others worry that the move could be seen as a power grab by the ruling party. The outcome remains uncertain, with many watching to see how the new constitution plays out in practice.
