Along with a legacy of contribute to the ongoing debate and lead to tangible progress on historic instability, FATA faces extreme challenges related to human the ground. socio-economic development. Poverty is widespread and deep, and the means for livelihood are limited. About 73.7 percent of the population live in multidimensional poverty – the highest proportion in Pakistan. The region's economy is largely dependent on subsistence agriculture, livestock and transit trade. Only eight percent of the geographical area is under cultivation, and most of it depends exclusively on rainfall. Improving the economic conditions in FATA requires substantial investment and reform. To do this, the government is preparing a 10- year socio-economic plan, which envisions signicant investments such as irrigation schemes, mineral development, integrated plans for health and education, business development and special industrial zones to uplift the region's development status, and set it on course towards achieving the sustainable development goals. There has been a healthy national debate on the elements of the reform process. Beyond the headlines, there are three basic elements of reform which aim to improve governance and people's lives. Ÿ The rst of these is effective representation from the local level to the national legislature, through the empowerment of the legislature and the introduction of an elected local government system. Elected councillors can give locals a role in the decision- making process, and the legislature can increase oversight over governance in FATA. Local councils will likely include tribal leaders as well as new faces, including youth and women, ensuring both continuity and change in the new FATA. Ÿ Second, a separation of judicial and administrative power (presently vested in the political agent), as is the norm in the rest of Pakistan, will have a positive impact on both governance and 01 Contextual Background A New Political Compact in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas1 he Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) covers an area of 27,200 Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) Tsq. km and has a population of approximately ve million (gender ratio of Bajaur Agency 104.5 and average household size 8.9)2 spread across seven Agencies and six Frontier Regions (FRs).

  • Researched and Compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on 29 June 2016
    Pakistan – Researched and compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on 29 June 2016 Information on lawyers/advocates who practice in Pakistan, in particular Dir Lower in Khyber Pukhtoonkhwa (Pakhtunkhwa). Is there country of origin information showing that advocates/lawyer have been targeted by extremist religious groups, and terrorist groups, including the Taliban. A report published by the UN Human Rights Council, in a section titled “The situation of lawyers” (paragraph 88), states: “There are four categories of lawyers in Pakistan: ordinary advocates, advocates of the High Courts, advocates of the Supreme Court and senior advocates of the Supreme Court. Lawyers are organized in two types of professional associations. Bar Councils, at both Federal and provincial level, are statutory bodies that exercise public functions, such as admission to the Bar and disciplinary proceedings against lawyers. Bar Associations are professional associations of lawyers that exist at both lower and superior court levels.” (UN Human Rights Council (4 April 2013) Report of the Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers, Addendum : Mission to Pakistan, p.17) In a section titled “Lack of protection, threats, attacks and killings” (paragraph 52) this report states: “The judiciary, legal profession and prosecution services in Pakistan regularly come under pressure from all kinds of public and private actors, including non-State actors such as extremist religious groups, insurgents and terrorists. The Special Rapporteur is seriously worried by the number and nature of reported cases of threats, attacks and killings of judges and lawyers. In the face of such criminal violence and intimidation, the State seems to have been unable to provide protection and secure the lives and safety of some of its citizens, judges in particular.

    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 19 September 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202009.0454.v1 Article Contribution of the Wild Food Plants in the Food System of Tribal Belt of Pakistan; The Pak - Afghan Border Region Abdullah and Shujaul Mulk Khan* Department of Plant Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The tribal belt of Pakistan-the Pak-Afghan border region is famous for its unique culture, ethnography and wild food plants and traditional knowledge. People of these regions gather wild plants for number of purposes including plants or plant parts for direct use, use it in the traditional cuisines and selling in local markets. However, there is huge lack of documentation of food system particularly the Wild Food Plants (WFPs). In current study we have focused on the uses and contributions of the WFPs in the tribal traditional food system. The ethnobotanical data were gathered through questionnaire surveys with Eighty-four informants 69 men and 15 women belonging to 21 different villages. We documented Sixty-three WFP species belonging to 34 botanical families, of which 27 were used as vegetables, 24 as fruits, 6 in different kinds of chutneys (starters) formation and six as fresh food species. Fruits were the mostly used part (40%) followed by leaves (24%), aerial parts (24%), seeds (7%), stem (3%), legume (2%) and young inflorescence (1%). Use of Carthamus oxycanthus & Pinus roxburghii seeds and Marsillea quadrifolia leaves were the novel reports for the gastronomy of Pakistan. The results elucidate that WFPs have a significant contribution in the Tribal Food Systems.

  • Shaping a New Peace in Pakistan's Tribal Areas
    Shaping a New Peace in Pakistan’s Tribal Areas Crisis Group Asia Briefing N°150 Brussels, 20 August 2018 What’s new? Pakistan has merged the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) along the Afghan border into an adjacent province, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a big step toward bringing constitutional governance and restoring peace to these lands. But the interim regulations governing FATA retain features of the colonial-era law previ- ously in force, imperilling stability. Why does it matter? Locals resent being in the crossfire of Islamabad’s war on FATA-based militants. Millions have been displaced. FATA’s civil society is more as- sertive than ever in demanding an end to these abuses and to militancy in the tribal belt. If Islamabad baulks, militants could exploit the ensuing popular estrangement. What should be done? Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s legislature should repeal FATA’s interim regulations and lift restrictions on freedom of movement. In consultation with locals, both the federal and provincial governments should urgently establish an administrative and judicial system that respects civil liberties, provides profes- sional policing and delivers needed services in the territories. I. Overview On 24 May, Pakistan’s National Assembly passed the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) Reforms Bill, merging FATA, a mountainous belt along the Afghan border, with adjacent Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Previously, the federal gov- ernment had directly administered FATA through colonial-era laws that deprived locals of rights and subjected them to harsh punishment. Inept and repressive gov- ernance, together with the Pakistani military’s use of FATA as a haven for jihadist proxies, have long made those areas vulnerable to militancy and conflict.
