answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/07/2019 answer text The Counter Terrorism Associated Prosecutorial Reform Initiative programme does not manage cases through the Anti-Terrorism Courts in Pakistan. The programme supports the reform of the criminal justice system and the Government is confident it has been delivered in a way that is consistent with our opposition to the death penalty. <p /><p>All our capacity building work is carefully considered using our Overseas Security and Justice Assistance (OSJA) Guidance, which ensures the assistance being provided is properly assessed against a comprehensive range of human rights risks, including possible indirect outcomes of our activity and what mitigations are being put in place. The Guidance instructs when OSJAs are prepared, that they should be regularly updated and when Ministers must be consulted. The OSJA checklist continues to be a live document and updated as necessary. Mr Field, the former Minister for Asia and the Pacific at the time, received regular updates on the risks associated with the Rule of Law programme’s activities.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 31/07/2019 16:28:35 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2016 answer text <p>The UK and Pakistan have a shared interest in addressing and reducing the threat of terrorism. We are committed to working together to combat the terrorist threat and the extremism that sustains it, in a human rights-compliant manner. This helps reduce the threat to the UK and UK interests. Government Ministers regularly raise this issue with their counterparts in the government of Pakistan. The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Boris Johnson), discussed the National Action Plan with the Government of Pakistan when he visited Islamabad in November. The British Government works with relevant Pakistani authorities to encourage progress on tackling terrorism and to assist Pakistani efforts to implement certain provisions of Pakistan's National Action Plan.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 07/12/2016 16:37:18 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
