Justice and Security Reform in North-western Pakistan

该项目旨在调查巴基斯坦西北部前联邦直辖部落地区的冲突后刑事司法改革方案。它将制定一个新的跨学科框架，研究刑事司法系统如何处理三类案件恐怖主义、毒品走私、谋杀和周期性暴力。预期成果包括加强对影响在前联邦直辖部落地区起诉这些罪行的社会、法律的和体制因素的了解。它将使寻求支持这一议程的澳大利亚和国际政策制定者受益，以加强与阿富汗接壤的这一地区的国家建设和法治改革。

This project aims to investigate the post-conflict criminal justice reform program in formerly Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in north-western Pakistan. It will develop a new interdisciplinary framework for studying how three categories of cases—terrorism, narcotics smuggling, murder and cyclical violence—are being handled by the criminal justice system. Expected outcomes include enhanced understanding of the social, legal and institutional factors impacting the prosecution of these crimes in former FATA. It will benefit Australian and international policymakers seeking to support the agenda to enhance state-building and rule of law reform in this region bordering Afghanistan.
