  • Makran in the Democratic Process of the Elections in Pakistan Social Sciences and Humanities
    - 377 - Bi-Annual Research Journal “BALOCHISTAN REVIEW” ISSN 1810-2174 Balochistan Study Centre, University of Balochistan, Quetta (Pakistan) VOL. XXXVI NO. 1, 2017 Makran in the Democratic Process of the Elections in Pakistan Social Sciences and Humanities Mumtaz Ali1, Dr. Muhammad Alam2 Abstract Elections are the part of democratic society which needs to run and promote the democratic values and system. As far as Makran is concerned it is quite clear that this region always remained political and democratic. This society is structured on kinship basis. All decisions are made at household level and no tribal structure is present to make collective decision. Communal leadership is a function of aged people in the community. In this article, I will analyze the electoral behaviours of the people of Makran, and then compare the different election results of Makran region. Key words: Democratic Process, Electoral Behaviour, Electoral Politics, Legislative Body, Makran Introduction Balochistan is a largest province of Pakistan. It is spread over 347000 km, and divided into 8 divisions. Every division has different history during the election process. One important division of Balochistan is Makran. This division consists of three districts Panjgur, Kech and Gwadar. This division performed a different role in every election than other parts of Balochistan. Makran actively participated in every local, provincial and national election and changed its representatives from time to time. On the other hand the rest of Balochistan mostly continued the hereditary system of the representatives. Elections Modern nations have big states with huge territories and populations. It is really impossible for the public of such states to gather at one place for political matters.

  • En En Draft Report
    EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT 2014 - 2019 Delegation for relations with South Asia DRAFT REPORT on the 10th EP/Pakistan Interparliamentary Meeting (Islamabad & Lahore) 16 / 20 February 2015 by Ms. Jean Lambert, Chair of the Delegation ------------ 05/03/2015 PK/am 1/18 EN EN Introduction The last time the EP South Asia Delegation also led by Ms Jean Lambert MEP, visited Pakistan, was in late 2012; the country was already in pre-electoral mood, 6 months before the elections that saw the victory of the PML-N. This was the first democratic transition from one elected civilian government to another in Pakistan’s modern history – and recognised as such by the EU, which fielded an EOM led by Chief Observer Michael Gahler MEP; Richard Howitt MEP had led, at the time, the EP Delegation which was part of the overall observation team. The 2012 talks had focused on the steps taken by Islamabad in rule of law and good governance issues, which had helped the country successfully apply for the EU’s special incentive arrangement for sustainable development and good governance – or, more colloquially, the GSP+ scheme, in effect since 1.1.2014. This arrangement, which was examined by the EP Plenary in December 2013, entails enhanced trade preferences, i.e. the full removal of tariffs on essentially the same products as those covered by GSP. MEPs had thus welcomed the ratification of all the major human rights conventions directly linked to the scheme, as well as the lifting of a series of reservations on many of those, such as the ICCPR or the CAT.

  • The 18Th Amendment in the 1973 Constitution Fakhr-Ul-Islam by the Chief Justice in the Above Mentioned Cases, the Patience of Military Dictator Came to Its Brim
    The 18 th Amendment in the 1973 Constitution Fakhr-ul-Islam ∗ Abstract Comparing with the 37 year checkered constitutional history (1973- 2010), the first decade of 21 st Century, brought some hope for Pakistan. That was adoption of 18th Constitutional Amendment. It was a damage-control exercise which was proposed by an All Party Parliamentary Committee (APPC). To what extent, the 18th Constitutional Amendment restored the original constitution and what are its salient features, is the subject of this paper. Defects found in the 18th Amendment created a head on collision between Parliament and judiciary. However, these were subsequently rectified through the 19 th Amendment passed after few months of the previous bill. Keywords: Constitution, Amendment, Parliamentary, Pakistan An Eventful Year: A Prelude to Unanimous Amendment The year 2007 proved to be decisive in shaping up political and constitutional contours in Pakistan. Musharraf’s clash with judiciary, assassination of Benazir Bhutto and atmosphere of political conciliation in the parliament after 2008 election, paved the way for unanimity on 18 th Constitutional Amendment. Like other dictators, General Pervez Musharraf was scared of judiciary. He wanted to tame it so that he could smoothly implement his agenda. Apart from removing judges of superior courts on the pretext of not taking oath under his Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO), he changed eight chief justices during 1999-2007. 1 Nevertheless Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, a hard nut, refused to give in. Justice Iftikhar had taken many sensitive cases for hearing in the Supreme Court. They included Missing Persons Case, Privatization of Karachi Steel Mills case and Construction of Golf Course at a children Park in Islamabad.
