This was suggested during a consultative workshop on Saturday to strengthen Dispute Resolution Councils (DRC) in the Mardan Division. The Peace and Justice Network (PJN) organised the workshop in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Pakistan and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police. The workshop was attended by DRC representatives from Mardan, Nowshera, Charsadda and Swabi at the Police Lines in Mardan. The activity was held through the EU-funded "Deliver Justice Project" aimed at making justice more accessible and inclusive in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. The DRCs are an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) forum established under the KP Police Act 2017, and provide alternative dispute resolution services at the police station, subdivision, and district level. As a statutory forum, the DRC provides services to the masses at the grassroots level, enabling citizens to benefit from out-of-court services for dispute resolution. During the opening session of the workshop, Mardan District Police Officer (DPO) Zahboor Babar Afridi emphasised the importance of DRCs, highlighting their operational framework and the positive impact they have in resolving community disputes effectively. Some Observations On The Chinese Model: Effective VS Acceptable Government He also appreciated the efforts of UNDP Pakistan and the Peace and Justice Network for organising the workshop. During the session, District and Sessions Judge Muhammad Zeb Khan highlighted the critical role ADR and DRCs play in addressing count pendency and supporting speedy justice. UNDP Pakistan Rule of Law Programme's Rule of Law and Justice Reforms Specialist Caitlin Chittenden and PJN CEO Syed Raza Ali highlighted that the strengthening of DRCs in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was crucial to enhancing their ability to serve communities effectively in resolving disputes. They stressed that by addressing existing gaps — such as inadequate resources, limited training for members, lack of inclusivity, and insufficient public awareness — DRCs can become more efficient, accessible, and responsive to community needs. Strengthened DRCs not only provide timely and cost-effective justice but also play a vital role in reducing the burden on formal courts and fostering social harmony at the grassroots level. The workshop brought together key stakeholders, including law enforcement officials, community leaders, members of the judiciary, civil society representatives, and members of DRCs from across the Mardan Division. Salma Zeb, a legal aid and ADR Officer in the Rule of Law Programme of UNDP, highlighted the importance of a gender-responsive DRC system in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and making it more inclusive. Headquarters SP Rizwan Habib highlighted the importance of enhancing the effectiveness of DRCs by addressing legislative and policy gaps to ensure their decisions are more binding and enforceable. He also emphasised the need for gender-sensitive training to make DRCs more inclusive and responsive to the needs of all community members. Pakistan’s Palestine Resolution And Responsibility DRC members showcased their progress thus far, their challenges, how they overcame them, and recommendations to strengthen the forums. The workshop also reviewed the ADR member selection criteria, the code of conduct and ethics for the DRCs and the actual rules for DRCs. The importance of raising public awareness about the functioning of DRCs was also emphasised to ensure that more people are informed about their services so that they can access them effectively. The workshop featured panel discussions, led by legal and ADR experts who underscored the importance of community-based dispute resolution mechanisms in reducing case backlogs and fostering trust. Participants engaged in group discussions to identify challenges facing DRCs, such as resource constraints, capacity gaps, and awareness issues, and proposed practical solutions. Special emphasis was placed on equipping DRC members with mediation, negotiation, and conflict resolution skills to address community disputes more effectively. The workshop concluded with actionable recommendations, including conducting regular training for DRC members to enhance their skills and knowledge, increasing public awareness of the role and benefits of DRCs, establishing mechanisms to monitor the performance and transparency of DRC operations and encouraging greater inclusion of women and minority representatives in the DRC framework.Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) said that if President-elect Donald Trump had his Department of Justice go after political enemies, it would be “banana republic stuff.” When asked about January 6 committee members potentially being prosecuted, Goldman said, “Donald Trump’s entire purpose with his selection for the FBI is to do just that and to jail his political enemies, that’s banana republic stuff. It’s not just bad for the political enemies and for a political system, is undermines our entire rule of law. It undermines the credibility of every single prosecution that’s out there, and you see that because defendants all around the country are making these allegations that their prosecutions are political. He’s already undermined the institutions and he will go much further if Kash Patel is confirmed.” Co-host Jonathan Lemire said, “So, congressman, quick follow-up. You speak of political enemies of Donald Trump. You served as lead counsel in the first impeachment trial of Trump when he was in office the last time. Would you be considered a political enemy? Are you fearful that you could be targeted or prosecuted?” Goldman said, “I’ve been on enemy’s lists and, you know, I guess that is a possibility. I welcome that possibility. I hope that they put their attention on me and not the good men and women who are career public servants in the federal government who are just doing their jobs and who are really subject to retribution. I can happily and ably stand up for myself and I have a megaphone here in Congress. I have a speech and debate clause defenses, so yes, if he’s going to attack his enemy, please bring it on, Donald Trump.” Follow Pam Key on X @pamkeyNEN
