    Role of Legal Regimes in the Empowerment of Women in Pakistan
    (UMT, Lahore, 2019) Haider Ali Khan
    This paper discusses the current situation of women empowerment in Pakistan and how far legal regimes concerning sexual harassment advance this cause. Initially it is discussed what constitutes women empowerment and what its status is in Pakistan. We consider whether our legal system is equipped with adequate remedies to overcome sexual harassment and discrimination at workplaces, which shall naturally lead us to examine the legal regime of sexual harassment in Pakistan. To create a better understanding of Pakistan’s legal regime and possible gaps and lacunas a comparative analysis is made with the Indian, Bangladeshi and USA’s example, after which this paper embarks upon an analysis of the gaps in Pakistan’s legal regime and recommendations to address them.

    KASHMIR DISPUTE A LEGAL REGIME
    (UMT, Lahore, 2019-06-19) ABRAR ALI
    From almost seventy years, the people of occupied Kashmir are waiting for their freedom promised by the United Nations. It is one of the oldest territory dispute, waiting for justice in this world. There are dozens of U.N. resolutions, providing the solution of the Kashmir dispute but India is not pleased to implement these resolutions. Indian armed forces have committed numerous human rights violations from the last thirty years in the occupied Kashmir. Occupying the territory through the deployment of more than six hundred thousand armed forces and denying the implementation of these resolution, India is clearly violating the international humanitarian law.
