    Pakistan-U.S. Relations K. Alan Kronstadt Specialist in South Asian Affairs July 1, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33498 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Pakistan-U.S. Relations Summary A stable, democratic, prosperous Pakistan actively combating religious militancy is considered vital to U.S. interests. U.S. concerns regarding Pakistan include regional and global terrorism; Afghan stability; democratization and human rights protection; the ongoing Kashmir problem and Pakistan-India tensions; and economic development. A U.S.-Pakistan relationship marked by periods of both cooperation and discord was transformed by the September 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States and the ensuing enlistment of Pakistan as a key ally in U.S.-led counterterrorism efforts. Top U.S. officials praise Pakistan for its ongoing cooperation, although long-held doubts exist about Islamabad’s commitment to some core U.S. interests. Pakistan is identified as a base for terrorist groups and their supporters operating in Kashmir, India, and Afghanistan. Pakistan’s army has conducted unprecedented and, until recently, largely ineffectual counterinsurgency operations in the country’s western tribal areas, where Al Qaeda operatives and pro-Taliban militants are said to enjoy “safe haven.” U.S. officials increasingly are concerned that indigenous religious extremists represent a serious threat to the stability of the Pakistani state. The United States strongly encourages maintenance of a bilateral cease-fire and a continuation of substantive dialogue between Pakistan and neighboring India, which have fought three wars since 1947. A perceived Pakistan-India nuclear arms race has been the focus of U.S.

  • Address by Mr. Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry Chief Justice
    ADDRESS BY MR. JUSTICE IFTIKHAR MUHAMMAD CHAUDHRY CHIEF JUSTICE OF PAKISTAN AT THE EARTH-BREAKING CEREMONY OF ISLAMBAD HIGH COURT, ISLAMABAD ON 5th November, 2013 My brother Judges of the Supreme Court; Hon’ble Chief Justice and Judges of Islamabad High Court; Worthy President and office bearers of the Supreme Court and High Court Bar Association; Distinguished Members of the Bar; Ladies and Gentlemen! Assalamualaikum: It is an occasion of extreme pleasure for me to address today the august gathering of bench and bar in this earth-breaking ceremony of Islamabad High Court at the Constitution Avenue, Islamabad. The establishment of Islamabad High Court in its own premises was badly needed to provide congenial working environment for Judges, lawyers and litigant parties. The improvement in the justice sector cannot be achieved through one time struggle, it is, rather a continuous process. The legal and judicial institutions play a pivotal role in ensuring supremacy of Constitution, rule of law and protection of rights of the citizens. It was long standing demand of the lawyers’ community as well as litigant public that all the Courts must be situated at one place or at least close to each other. With the construction of new building of Islamabad High Court at sector G-5, very close to the Supreme Court and Federal Shariat Court would save the lawyers as well as litigants from the agony of travelling long distances to reach from one Court to another. The existence of Supreme Court, Federal Shariat Court and High Court in close proximity, besides convenience, is also necessary for security reasons.
