Home Page About MOFA F.S.Academy F.S.Career ... Archives PAKISTAN AND THE SAARC South Asia, home to nearly a fifth of humanity, is endowed with vast natural and human resources. It has the potential of becoming a vibrant region in the world, given its enormous resources in manpower, technology, agricultural and mineral assets, its history and civilization, arts and culture. Intra-regional exchanges in the SAARC framework and trade among its Member States can realise much of this potential. The idea of regional cooperation in South Asia was first mooted in November, 1980. It was the shared desire of the peoples of South Asia to overcome common problems through mutual cooperation. The primary objective of the Association was, therefore, in the words of its Charter, “to promote the welfare of the peoples of South Asia and to improve their quality of life”. Towards this end, the Charter called for efforts “to accelerate economic growth, social programmes and cultural development in the region”; to promote and strengthen collective self-reliance”; “ to contribute to mutual trust, understanding and appreciation of one anothers’ problems” and to “promote active collaboration and mutual assistance in the economic, social, cultural, technical and scientific fields”. Formally established at the First SAARC Summit at Dhaka on 7-8 December 1985 the Association was a late starter in regionalism. Over a period of nearly a decade and half that SAARC has been in place it carries the image of high profile and low performance. A major explanation in this regard lies in the fact that relationship among the member states have often been marked by mistrust, misunderstanding and even hostility. The most common criticism about SAARC relates to its ‘futility’ in the presence of serious contentious issues between the members of the Association. The modest SAARC programmes and its limited coverage, exclusion of bilateral and contentious issues from its purview and subjecting decision-making process on unanimity are result of this reality.

Related Resources Gauri and Prithvi: The Sub-Continent Goes Nuclear (lesson plan) Political Map Elevation Map Political Views from Pakistan: Jamaat-e-Islami (English) Pakistan's Role Pakistan and Afghanistan mutually share each other's longest borders and realize one another's strategic importance. Dating back centuries, the mountain passes through this Central Asian region bounded the two states together in trade and security. Today, Pakistan, an Islamic state, is only one of two countries that recognizes Afghanistan's Taliban rule. Pakistan's short history as a country as been very turbulent. Fighting among the provinces as well as full-fledged wars with India prevented Pakistan from gaining real stability in the last five decades. It oscillates between military rule and deomocratically-elected governments; between secular policies and Islamic law. Like Afghanistan, it received U.S. military and financial backing as a "frontline" state during the Cold War. In 1998, Pakistan's government jolted the world when it announced that it tested five nuclear warheads following India's own test. The United States imposed severe sanctions on Pakistan and India. In late September 2001, following the terrorist attacks on the United States, the sanctions were lifted in an effort to gain Pakistan's favor in having Afghanistan extradict Osama bin Laden. Some Pakistanis believe that the lifting of US sanctions are not going to usher in economic prosperity but rather bring disaster because we are pitting "brother to fight against his own brother in Afghanistan."

KASHMIR SENTINEL ISSUE FOR THE FORTNIGHT JUNE 16- JULY 31, 1999 NC PRESENTED ANTI-REGIONAL AUTONOMY REPORT Interview with Balraj Puri We reproduce here the excerpts of a detailed interview with Sh. Bal Raj Puri. A veteran journalist and political thinker Sh. Balraj Puri has been one of the champions of regional autonomy. He was made the Working Chairman of the Regional Autonomy Committee when the National Conference assumed reins of the state in its latest stint. In intriguing circumstances his term as the working chairman of RAC was allowed to expire and his report on regional autonomy shelved. Q: Kargil Intrusion has almost provoked a full-scale war between India and Pakistan. How do you view the entire intrusion and the Indian responses? A: This argument that we were taken unawares has been put forward in 1947 as well as 1965. It only reflects that our antennae are not strong enough to catch the proper signals. We have not been able to see through the wider developments for last few years. Kargil is fallout of these developments. Q: Which wider developments are you talking about?

Pakistan was created as a homeland for the Muslims of the Indian subcontinent, freed of the discrimination and deprivation they have suffered in the past. Committed also to the Islamic principles of equality and justice as they were, the founding fathers wished to ensure that no citizen of the new country ever faced the same injustices. Citizens included women, in fact especially so since the founders of this country were conscious of the denial to women of their rightful status even by their own people. In the present Constitution, Article 25 in the Chapter on Fundamental Rights of the Citizens states as follows: All citizens are equal before law and are entitled to equal protection of law. There shall be no discrimination on the basis of sex alone. Nothing in this Article shall prevent the State from making any special provision for the protection of women and children. In practice however the promise of equality has not been fully observed. The women continue to suffer in the face of oppressive patriarchal structures, rigid norms and stifling socio-cultural customs and traditions. To improve the situation different commissions in the past were setup by the Government.

Press Review Archive Monday, 03 June, 2002 Putin Tries to Repeat History by our Internet desk, 3 June 2002 Russia has joined China and other Asian countries in seeking to avert war between India and Pakistan at a regional meeting in Kazakhstan. Despite the peace efforts, however, Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee has refused to meet face-to-face with Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf to discuss the deteriorating situation in Kashmir. The Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA), being held in Kazakhstani economic capital Almaty, is being attended by 16 Asian member countries including India and Pakistan. The international community views the meeting as the ideal setting for rapprochement, with Russian President Vladimir Putin leading the charge to get the subcontinental foes to the negotiating table. The current high tension dates from a bloody attack in Indian Kashmir by Islamic separatists on May 14. New Delhi blames Pakistan for tacitly supporting separatists in the predominately-Muslim region of Kashmir, which is claimed by both nations and has been the cause of two Indo-Pakistan wars already. Unsurprising Refusal Mr Putin will hold separate talks with both leaders.

The scope of its work covers most parts of Asia. The Institute has an active publications programme including books, journals, monographs and a press monitoring service. International Centre for Peace Initiatives is a think-tank involved in conceptualising innovative approaches to peace. It has launched pioneering dialogues bringing together representatives of differing interests and perspectives.) PREFACE It is known that India and Pakistan have had a very difficult relationship for the last 50 years. We have gone through full-scale wars, smaller battles, ongoing conflict over the status of Kashmir, economic disputes, and a great psychological divide. Some time or other, some one or either must take lead, to turn the wheel of time. For too long we have been trapped in the past. It’s more than urgent to begin the future. Of late many concerned citizens in India and Pakistan have made contributions towards new thinking about resolving conflicts and promoting co-operation between the two countries. Our institutes have participated in the processes in different ways. We are now excited to come together to jointly suggest a road map to begin the future.

HISTORY Description Approaching our Subject Matter Questions to be Examined in the Course Areas Under Investigation ... Prerequisite Worlds Apart: Contemporary Regional Conflicts Section H431/H434 Milan Andrejevich Lecturer in History and Communication Indiana University Northwest and Adjunct Instructor in History and Communication Valparaiso University Description The end of the cold war raised hopes for a more peaceful international order. Many of us thought that much of the conflict in the world had its origins in the rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union and with the end of that rivalry countries could be brought closer together. We were too optimistic. Since 1990 over two dozen deadly conflicts have produced more than 9 million casualties and doubled the number of refugees around the globe from 12 million to 25 million. In 2002 about a quarter of the world's countries [some 55] struggled with armed conflict. Most were low-intensity battles against terrorists or guerrillas. However, according to experts, these are the kind of conflicts that pose the greatest threat to global stability. Political leaders and international institutions have been helpless in the face of the spread of these conflicts which are a mixture of war, organized crime, terrorism, and massive violations of human rights. In most cases, we find that the roots of these conflicts are in the myths and symbols, historical maps, territory, and the stories that people tell about who they are.

Low Graphics Wednesday, 24 October, 2001, 09:13 GMT 10:13 UK Analysis: Kashmir threat to coalition Kashmir may be the most volatile disputed territory By the BBC's Daniel Lak The America-led air strikes against Afghanistan - ostensibly backed by India and Pakistan - and the fear of a region-wide conflict has put the volatility of disputed Kashmir back in the spotlight. For more than 50 years, the Kashmir dispute has been mired in mutual recrimination, violence and intricate semantics beyond the comprehension of anyone from outside the region The killing of more than 20 Pakistani-based Kashmiri militants on Tuesday night, during a US raid on Kabul, also serves to draw attention to how the campaign in Afghanistan could have an impact on Kashmir in particular and the region in general. During the recent visit of US Secretary of State Colin Powell, India carried out artillery barrages into Pakistani Kashmir, underlining just how fragile the "coalition against terror" is in South Asia. With Kashmir on the long list of places that groups like al-Qaeda use to call for jihad, the Americans and everyone else will want reassurances that some lowering of tensions is possible.

Country Info Pakistan Introduction Pakistan General Data Pakistan Maps Pakistan Culture ... Pakistan Time and Date Pakistan Culture Back to Top Among the very rich, Western education and modes of living have eliminated pardah, but, in general, even among this group, attitudes toward women in society and the family are akin to those of Victorian England. Change is coming most rapidly among the urban middle-income group, inspired by increasing access to the West as well as by the entry of women into the work force. An increasing number of women do not observe pardah, and the education of women has been encouraged. Some women have gained distinction in the professions; some of Pakistan's leading politicians, journalists, and teachers are women. Social organization revolves around kinship rather than caste. Beradari (patrilineage) is the most important social institution. A preferable marriage for a man is with his father's brother's daughter, and among many groups marriages are invariably within the beradari. The lineage elders constitute a council that adjudicates disputes within the lineage and acts on behalf of the lineage with the outside world—for example, in determining electoral allegiances.
