Abstract

The report is part of a project on Rule of Law Programming in Pakistan (Phase I). The project is being sponsored by the Islamabad Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany. Technical support for the project has been provided by the Max Planck Institute of International law and Public Law, Germany. This report details a written record of interviews with 1500 common men and women of FATA – those who live under the umbrella of tribal justice. The report also contains a dispassionate analysis of the Tribal legal code and its ultimate manifestation – the Jirga – as an attempt to accurately weigh associated pros and cons.
