PIA lack reports of air accidents since 62 years ago

This is regard to ICAO having power to enforce report of accidents from member airliners.

I once worked with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in early 80s. The following is contained in one of their documents.

The Establishment of ICAO after Second World included a commitment of signatories to abide by common mesures to ensure safety in International Air Transportation (IAT). The organization, however, has limited powers of enforcement. The International Aviation Safety Assessment (IASA) Program was initiated by the US to ensure that countries with services involving US meet ICAO Safety Oversight Standards.

This paper makes use of the IASA assessment procedure to examine factors that influence whether contries are conforming to ICAO Safety Standards.
This brings us back to PIA whether or not PIA conforms to these standards and if not what penalty would PIA given for not submitting accidents reports in 62 years of their air operation.

If so can IASA intervene, so that PIA can be forced to be transparent?

One can find out more in ICAO Standards Procedures in air safety.
