This landmark document traces the history of Pakistan’s anti-terror legislation upto the Pakistan Protection Ordinance (October 2013). It encapsulates various steps – administrative as well as legal – taken to counter terrorism, particularly since August 1997, when the government first introduced the Anti-Terror Act 1997 to the context of growing sectarian violence, particularly in the central Punjab province.
In his praise for this publication, prominent barrister Ahmer Bilal Soofi has called it “the best document so far on the subject”. It will hopefully serve as one of reference documents for all those interested in knowing how Pakistan has dealt with the scourge of terrorism and sectarian violence particularly since the early 1980s.

“For the past nine years, I have been living in Pakistan. Being part of different youth initiatives here has allowed me to witness the incredible warmth and hospitality of the Pakistani people, and how they empathize with young Afghans like me. The Pak-Afghan Youth Peace Initiative by CRSS has helped me realize my potential as a youth and refugee leader. I’m determined to spread the messages of peace and friendship that I am taking away from this fellowship.”
