<p>DFID has spent £7.69m to-date since financial year 2015/16 on rule of law initiatives
in Pakistan which are funded through the Conflict Stability and Security Fund (CSSF).
This has supported work to improve the justice system in Pakistan for citizens.</p><p>HMG
makes robust use of the oversees security and justice assessment (OSJAs) process to
manage any human rights risks arising from security and justice assistance delivered
overseas. A risk assessment has therefore been carried out on the DFID led work in
Pakistan. OSJAs include a UK assessment of the human rights situation in a country
at a given time and are regularly updated to inform exposure to risk and adjust programme
delivery to reduce that risk if necessary. OSJAs therefore need to be candid about
the situation in order to work. Placing them in the public domain could prejudice
relations between the UK and another state, the interests of the UK abroad or the
promotion or protection by the UK of its interests abroad.</p>
