The concept of ‘Ballistic Missile Defense’, aims at Indian psychological and military superiority against its adversaries, particularly Pakistan. It is likely to upset existing nuclear balance of deterrence and is fraught with serious implications, as discussed by the author with convincing arguments. Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty: Emerging Trends & Options for Pakistan Brigadier Muhammad Khurshid Khan The concept of Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) attained maturity in 1996, after a lapse of four decades. The treaty restricted development of high-tech nuclear warheads by the states, possessing highly developed nuclear weapons programs. The author has enlisted the countries that have ratified the treaty and the states those have not even signed it as yet. There is a lukewarm response from US, China and India on the issue. Though Pakistan supported CTBT, nonetheless, declined to sign it, owing to its own security concerns. The author suggests that international community has to perform a serious role for bringing stability in this region, prior to expecting Pakistan and India to sign the treaty. NDU Journal 2011 i The Evolving Nature of Pak-US Relationship Dr. Raja Muhammad Khan Dr Khan in this article touches upon the sensitivities of Pak-US relations, particularly highlighting the irritants and differences over military action in North Waziristan Agency and the so-called safe havens of Haqqani Network. While evaluating the cost benefit analysis, hardly any worthwhile dividend is noticed on part of Pakistan, despite last six decades of bilateral relationship. This asymmetrical alliance has often led to a paradoxical situation for Pakistan. It is imperative for both the countries to reconcile and engage in a positive negotiation process, for evolving better and sincere bonds of relationship, which is essential not only for peace in Afghanistan but also entire South Asia. Indian Air Force: A Regional Power By 2020 Air Commodore Zia ul Haque Shamsi Air Commodore Shamsi in this article ponders upon the impact of modern technology, along with air power, as a prevailing factor in changing the nature of warfare. In pursuance of playing a more dominant role in world affairs, Indian leadership in year 2000, unveiled an ambitious plan envisaging India to be recognized in the comity of developed world by 2020. To materialize the ambitious agenda, IAF would also need the support of a modern aerospace industry coupled with research and development organization to sustain it. Possibility and Implications of an Israeli Strike on Iranian Nuclear Installations Major Shams uz Zaman In the contemporary era, Iranian nuclear program has become highly debatable in diplomatic circles as well as among the nations possessing nuclear capability. A spread ii NDU Journal 2011 wide scepticism exists over Iranian nuclear programme, however, Iran denies various allegations and asserts for its nuclear rights for peaceful purposes. While handling the Iranian nuclear issue, a clear divide is visible among the US and the EU, as the US is willing to use military option, contrary to Europeans quest for a diplomatic solution. Nevertheless, Israeli strike against Iranian nukes can not be ruled out, which will have distressing implications for the region and Pakistan. Role of Media in Modern Warfare Air Commodore Asadullah Khan In this paper, Air Commodore Khan has highlighted the role of media and its impact on the modern warfare. Technology has made the media an active and influential element in armed conflict. The author opines that the media support is crucial to military operations and the Armed Forces must put a deliberate effort to evaluate comprehensive framework for media-military relationship. This article examines potentials, using media as a weapon along with examining some historical trends, addressing current and future issues, and surveying media considerations in current doctrine. Prospects of Pakistan-Cuba Relations Ambassador Najm us Saqib Ever since the Castro’s revolution of 1959, Cuba has been an important country from the view point of geopolitical studies. Ambassador Saqib in this article has carried out an analysis of multiple contours of Pak-Cuba relations. The author during his ambassadorial services at Cuba has identified the ways and means to enhance bilateral relations between the two countries. This article also investigates the reasons for non-exploitation of real potential of bilateral relations between Pakistan and Cuba. NDU Journal 2011 iii Conceptual Framework of Homeland Security: A Case Study of Pakistan Ms. Afifa Kiran Ms. Kiran, in this paper, picks up an interesting topic for analysis delved in to bring forth pertinent policy. The concept of ‘Homeland Security’ is gained significant attention of the intellectuals and scholars all around the globe. The writer undertakes this study in the context of Pakistan and investigates the roles of various law enforcing agencies, weaknesses in their operating mechanisms and measures to bring harmony in existing homeland security apparatus. iv NDU Journal 2011 BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE: IMPLICATIONS FOR INDIA-PAKISTAN STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENT Dr. Zafar Nawaz Jaspal Abstract The construct of nuclear balance of deterrence between India and Pakistan has limited the former’s options to coerce the latter in the prevailing conventional-military asymmetry between them. This strategic compromising position of New Delhi has forced it to chalk out a strategy, which could reinstate its militarily advantageous position in the region and also demonstrate its military primacy in the strategic theater of India and Pakistan. New Delhi, therefore, has been endeavoring to develop or acquire new generation of weapon—Ballistic Missile Defense systems. The missile shield is yet to be proven in the battle field. The advancement in technology, however, generates an impression that system would be viable in the near future or at least provide psychological military superiority to its holder. The psychological military superiority and sense of immunity from the ballistic missile strikes of an adversary could create a ‘Fortress India’ mindset. This mindset would not be conducive or at least problematic for the Strategic Stability, Escalation Control, Nuclear CBMs and Peace Process between India and Pakistan. Introduction The nuclear weapons capabilities immensely contributed in India-Pakistan strategic doctrines and military postures. Instead of revolutionalizing warfare between belligerent neighbors, the nuclear weapons have necessitated strategic restraint between them without thwarting sub-conventional conflicts. Indeed, nuclear weapons

  • Human Trafficking and Migrant Smuggling
    Title Page Research and Analysis Centre - a UNODC and FIA Collaboration UNODC's program on illicit trafficking and border management (Sub-Program1) enhances the core capacities of Pakistan's law enforcement agencies to reduce illicit trafficking and manage borders primarily through the provision of specialized training and equipment. Law enforcement agencies struggle to interdict trafficking and smuggling of various kinds and scales, which poses a challenge to the governance, development, and security of the country. In January 2014 a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between UNODC COPAK and the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to establish a Research and Analysis Centre at FIA Headquarters in Islamabad. The purpose of this initiative was to enhance legal, regulatory, and enforcement frameworks on human trafficking and migrant smuggling. It added to knowledge and skills within the migration-related law enforcement agencies and improved information collection, analysis, and coordination of migration-related crimes. The Research and Analysis Centre (RAC) was officially inaugurated on 1 May 2014. Currently three researchers from UNODC and two from the FIA have been placed at the Centre, with necessary equipment and software provided by UNODC. The findings of this report are based on research conducted at RAC over the past year.

The seminar was chaired by Shri Satish Chandra, former Deputy NSA and the speakers were AVM Kapil Kak (Retd), Prof C Raja Mohan, Mr Rana Banerji and Capt (IN) Alok Bansal. Brig Gurmeet Kanwal (Retd), Director CLAWS, presented Dr Mohan Guruswamy’s presentation on the subject. Selected officers from the armed forces, diplomats, members of the academic community and Pakistan scholars participated in the seminar. Shri Satish Chandra In his opening remarks, the chairman stated that Pakistan was going through turbulent times. The recent incident at Mehran naval base and the killing of Salim Shehzad are extremely worrisome and reflect the tumultuous situation in Pakistan. This seminar is an occasion to develop a snapshot of Pakistan and analyse the political situation. The deliberations should also take into account the internal politics of the country. It is important to question the impact of the withdrawal of MQM on PPP, the civil-military relations, the state of Pakistan’s institutions like the media, judiciary etc. Pakistan is suffering from 20 per cent inflation and has had a growth rate of almost 2% in the last two years. The main aspects of Pakistan’s foreign policy include its relations with India, US and China. Let us deliberate upon the current situation in Pakistan and its implications for India. AVM Kapil Kak (Retd) Pakistan is in a state of turmoil and moving closer to becoming a failed state.

    APSARWG/2−IP/XX 30/05/2017 – 01/06/2017 International Civil Aviation Organization SecondMeeting of the Asia/Pacific Regional Search and Rescue Working Group (APSARWG/2) Bangkok, Thailand, 30 May – 01 June 2017 Agenda Item 3: Global update SEARCH AND RESCUE SYSTEM OF PAKISTAN (Presented by Pakistan) SUMMARY This paper presents a brief update on Aviation SAR System of Pakistan including the ongoing works for its improvement. To enhance the capability of the SAR System, frequent meetings with the stakeholders on joint review of SAR Plan, Formation of National Search and Rescue committee and Joint SAR Exercises have improved the Civil and Military relationship and SAR perspective amongst the stakeholders of the country. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Government of Pakistan, within its territorial land, waters and over the high seas, where the responsibility for the provision of Air Traffic Services has been delegated to Pakistan under Regional Air Navigation Agreements, is committed to render search and rescue services to all aircraft and facilitate immediate rescue of its occupants when they are in need of such assistance. Establishing a completely independent and self-contained Search and Rescue organization would be cost prohibitive for CAA; therefore, the SAR facilities available with different public and private organizations have been effectively harnessed to share the responsibility in accordance with the provisions of Annex 12 supplemented by IAMSAR Manuals I, II and III, to achieve the objectives of Search and Rescue. 2. DISCUSSION 2.1 LEGISLATION 2.2 In Pakistan, the responsibility for the provision of SAR services to aircraft has been vested into CAA through a notification of the Gazette of Pakistan S.R.O.

  • The Pakistan Navy: a Transformation from ‘Fledgling Force’ to ‘Fighting Machine’ Abhijit Singh*
    Abhijit Singh FocusThe Pakistan Navy: A Transformation from ‘Fledgling Force’ to ‘Fighting Machine’ Abhijit Singh* The Pakistan navy (PN) is poised on the brink of a transformation. Neglected for long by Pakistan’s political masters and a dominant Pakistan army, the PN was unable to assert its salience and witnessed slow growth. But in the one decade since the September 2001 attacks and the US led ‘war on terror’, it has undergone a striking metamorphosis. As Pakistan realises the importance of having a robust maritime force and commits greater resources for its development, the tactics of the PN and its broader strategy in the northern Arabian Sea too have undergone a shift. An enhanced international profile and greater credibility for its role in regional maritime order is gradually resulting in the PN becoming a more confident and assertive player, and a major stakeholder in the regional maritime security regime.

  • Domestic Barriers to Dismantling the Militant Infrastructure in Pakistan
    [PEACEW RKS [ DOMESTIC BARRIERS TO DISMANTLING THE MILITANT INFRASTRUCTURE IN PAKISTAN Stephen Tankel ABOUT THE REPORT This report, sponsored by the U.S. Institute of Peace, examines several underexplored barriers to dismantling Pakistan’s militant infrastructure as a way to inform the understandable, but thus far ineffectual, calls for the coun- try to do more against militancy. It is based on interviews conducted in Pakistan and Washington, DC, as well as on primary and secondary source material collected via field and desk-based research. AUTHOR’S NOTE:This report was drafted before the May 2013 elections and updated soon after. There have been important developments since then, including actions Islamabad and Washington have taken that this report recommends. Specifically, the U.S. announced plans for a resumption of the Strategic Dialogue and the Pakistani government reportedly developed a new counterterrorism strategy. Meanwhile, the situation on the ground in Pakistan continues to evolve. It is almost inevitable that discrete ele- ments of this report of will be overtaken by events. Yet the broader trends and the significant, endogenous obstacles to countering militancy and dismantling the militant infrastruc- ture in Pakistan unfortunately are likely to remain in place for some time. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Stephen Tankel is an assistant professor at American University, nonresident scholar in the South Asia program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and author of Storming the World Stage: The Story of Lashkar- e-Taiba. He has conducted field research on conflicts and militancy in Algeria, Bangladesh, India, Lebanon, Pakistan, and the Balkans. Professor Tankel is a frequent media commentator and adviser to U.S.
