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>
