Over the past 25 years, it has remained staunchly committed to the mission it set for itself upon inception: To catalyse the transition towards sustainable development, defined as the enhancement of peace, social justice and well-being, within and across generations. SDPI remains one of the few organisations in Pakistan that has been consistently ranked internationally by the Global Go To Think Tank Index. In its latest 2016 report, the Institute’s rankings have improved: 103/150 Top Think Tank Worldwide (non-US) 55/150 Best Independent Think Tank 15/95 Top Think Tank in Southeast Asia and the Pacific 25/95 Top Environment Policy Think Tank 42/80 Best Transdisciplinary Research Think Tank 43/105 Think Tank to Watch in 2017 Even in the newest categories of ‘Top Think Tanks by Special Achievement’, the Institute has carved a niche for itself: 99/100 Top Social Policy Think Tank 65/90 Best Advocacy Campaign 61/90 Best Institutional Collaboration Involving Two or More Think Tanks 83/85 Best Use of Social Media and Networks 75/75 Think Tank with the Best External Relations/Public Engagement Programme 60/60 Best Use of Media (Print of Electronic). 1 1 McGann, J.G. 2017, ‘2016 Global Go To Think Tank Index Report’, Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program (TTCSP), Lauder Institute, University of Pennsylvania, USA, 26 January, <http://repository.upenn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1009&context=think_tanks >. Within Pakistan, the Inter-University Consortium for the Promotion of Social Sciences (IUCPSS) National Award for Contributions to the fields of Social Service, Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities was also given to SDPI for the year 2016.2 Where We Come From The Institute’s genesis lies in the Pakistan National Conservation Strategy (also known as Pakistan’s Agenda 21), which approved by the Federal Cabinet in March 1992, outlined the need for an independent non-profit organisation in the country to serve as a source of expertise for policy analysis, evidence-based research and training services. What We Do We function in an advisory capacity by carrying out robust research, policy advice and advocacy and in an enabling capacity by strengthening other individuals and organisations with resource materials and training. Specifically, our broad-based yet holistic mandate is to: • conduct evidence-based research, advocacy and trainings from a broad multidisciplinary perspective; • promote the implementation of policies, programmes, laws and regulations based on sustainable development; • strengthen civil society and facilitate civil society-government interaction in collaboration with other organisations and activist networks; • disseminate research findings and public education through the media, conferences, seminars, lectures, publications and curricula development; and, • contribute to building national research capacity and infrastructure. How We Do It The diverse array of projects and programmes, from inclusive economic growth to institutional governance, from energy economics to climate change, from food, water and human security to education, from sustainable industrial growth to hazardous waste management, from religious tolerance to peace and gender equity, which SDPI has been involved in over the past 25 years, outline the following core activities: • Providing policy advice to the government; • Facilitating and organising forums for policy dialogue; • Supporting in-house, local, regional and international academics, students and researchers; • Publishing critical research for public and private sector use; • Acting as a conduit for North-South and South-South dialogue; • Creating an environment for information dissemination and training; • Campaigning for regional advocacy and networking. 2 The News International 2016, ‘IUCPSS Announces Awards for 9 Personalities, 3 Organisations’, 29 February, <https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/101654-IUCPSS-announces-awards-for-9- personalities-3-organisations>. ii Why We Do It The Institute’s efforts remain unwavering in its vision to become a Centre of Excellence on sustainable development policy research, capacity development and advocacy in the country and South Asia by producing knowledge that not only enhances the capacity of the state to make informed policy decisions, but also engages civil society and academia on issues of public interest for the betterment of current and future generations. How We Reach Out Since its inception, SDPI has organised innumerable seminars, national and international conferences. The Sustainable Development Conference (SDC) series has become a flagship event of the Institute that not only provides a forum for highlighting SDPI’s own research, but also offers space to other researchers and academics from South Asia in particular and across the globe in general, to share their work and engage in constructive dialogue with fellow intellectuals, movers and shakers from the public and private sector, students and the general public. To date, SDPI has organised nineteen annual Conferences. This collection of working papers, speeches and policy briefs was presented at the Nineteenth SDC held over a three- day period (6-8 December 2016) in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad (see Annexure 1 for the detailed Conference Agenda and Annexure 2 for the list of published anthologies). iii About the Sustainable Development Conference (SDC) Series Introduction The Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) has organised nineteen Sustainable Development Conferences (SDCs) since its inception. The SDC has become a flagship event of the Institute which is not only a forum for SDPI’s own research, it also invites other researchers and academia from Asia and beyond to share their work and engage in dialogue with fellow panellists and the audience. The SDC Series is also a prime Conference in South Asia with a major focus on regional sustainable development issues. First SDC The First SDC, titled The Green Economics Conference, was organised by SDPI in 1995. This Conference focused on the interaction between economics and the environment, and included research papers on trade, fiscal policy, Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), green accounting, forestry, energy, industry and the urban environment. Second SDC The Second SDC, in 1996, addressed the broad theme of sustainable development including pollution abatement, resource management, conservation of biodiversity, the transfer and use of technology, trade and environment, human development and poverty alleviation, and social capital and governance. The Conference was successful in highlighting key issues facing Pakistan and bringing out the latest thinking and analysis to identify solutions. Third SDC The theme of the Third Conference was A Dialogue on Environment and Natural Resource Conservation. The Conference, held in 1998, focused on stimulating dialogue

If the objects are recovered, locating the rest of the Boeing 777 on the ocean floor could turn out to be harder still. And if the remains can eventually be pieced together, working out exactly what happened to flight MH370 may be the toughest job of all.

  • The Feudal Tentacles: Is Feudalism Dead
    Pakistan Perspectives Vol. 21, No.2, July-December 2016 Study of the Emergency Rule in Pakistan, 2007 Khan Faqir & Fakhrul Islam Abstract Some of the steps of public interest litigation that the judiciary took in 2007 were considered as a threat to the military government of Pervez Musharraf. He dismissed the Chief Justice of Pakistan, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, on the charges of corruption. This presidential move was not against the chief justice of Pakistan but against the judiciary. The executive intent to tarnish and erode judiciary’s image, integrity and authority was countered by a countrywide movement for the restoration of judiciary. A consolidated struggle of the bar and the bench lead to judicial revivalism in Pakistan. ______ Historical background Authoritarianism as a colonial legacy was incorporated in the political system of both Pakistan and India. From the very beginning India quite successfully tried to democratise itself. There ‘the rule of law was ever bent to subserve either executive action in the administration or the will of dominant elements of society’. On the other hand, Pakistan failed to make a worthwhile change to democratic rule after emerging from the debris of British colonialism. The colonial state was quickly replaced by authoritarian rulers, whether civilian or military. History of Pakistan has been defined by uneasy relationships between state institutions and civil society. In its executive-dominated state, the superior courts in particular have played unusually important part in determining the country’s political fate.1 The conflict between Pakistan’s executive orders and judicial authorities dates back to the era of Liaquat Ali Khan when the country was in its teething years.

  • Defining Shariʿa the Politics of Islamic Judicial Review by Shoaib
    Defining Shariʿa The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review By Shoaib A. Ghias A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair Professor Martin M. Shapiro Professor Asad Q. Ahmed Summer 2015 Defining Shariʿa The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review © 2015 By Shoaib A. Ghias Abstract Defining Shariʿa: The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review by Shoaib A. Ghias Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy University of California, Berkeley Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair Since the Islamic resurgence of the 1970s, many Muslim postcolonial countries have established and empowered constitutional courts to declare laws conflicting with shariʿa as unconstitutional. The central question explored in this dissertation is whether and to what extent constitutional doctrine developed in shariʿa review is contingent on the ruling regime or represents lasting trends in interpretations of shariʿa. Using the case of Pakistan, this dissertation contends that the long-term discursive trends in shariʿa are determined in the religio-political space and only reflected in state law through the interaction of shariʿa politics, regime politics, and judicial politics. The research is based on materials gathered during fieldwork in Pakistan and datasets of Federal Shariat Court and Supreme Court cases and judges. In particular, the dissertation offers a political-institutional framework to study shariʿa review in a British postcolonial court system through exploring the role of professional and scholar judges, the discretion of the chief justice, the system of judicial appointments and tenure, and the political structure of appeal that combine to make courts agents of the political regime.

(On appeal from the judgment/order, dated 31-12-1998 passed by High Court of Balochistan, Quetta in R.F.A. No.35 of 1998). (a) Benami transaction--- ----Determination of question as to whether transaction was Benami or not---Factors to be taken into consideration---Burden of proof---Principles. For determining the question, whether a transaction is a Benami transaction or not, inter alia the following factors are to be taken into consideration:- (i) source of consideration; (ii) from whose custody the original title deed and other documents came in evidence; (iii) who is in possession of the suit property; and (iv) motive for the Benami transaction. The initial burden of proof is on the party who alleges that an ostensible owner is a Benamidar for him and that the weakness in the defence evidence would not relieve a plaintiff from discharging the above burden of proof. However, the burden of proof may shift from one party to the other during the trial of a suit. Once the burden of proof is shifted from a plaintiff on a defendant and if he fails to discharge the burden of proof so shifted on him, the plaintiff shall succeed. The question whether a transaction is Benami in character or not has to be decided keeping in view a number of factors/considerations.
