Promoting Restorative Justice in Pakistan
Last modified 2007-12-05 06:36
Recently, PF Pakistan sponsored an introductory seminar on prison ministry and restorative justice for 40 individuals from the NGO Caritas Pakistan. The seminar was a part of a larger PF Pakistan strategy to promote restorative justice in the country.
The invitation came as a result of a book by Arthur Wilson, PFP
executive director, about the restoration of offenders and victims and
the Pakistani prison system, including a short introduction to
restorative justice and the United Nations Basic Principles on
Restorative Justice. The book has been widely distributed throughout
the country sparking interest and inquiries from media outlets as well
as from other NGOs such as Caritas Pakistan. The national ministry is
currently providing information on restorative justice to those
responsible for training national prison personnel in the hope that it
will be invited to offer training workshops for prison personnel.
