Title: NAB, civil society plan various activities to mark the International Anti-Corruption Day
Islamabad, December 05: To mark the International Anti Corruption Day (9 December 2007) in a befitting manner, National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in collaboration with civil society and academia has planned a variety of programmes and events across the country.
The objective of the programmes is to raise awareness among the masses about the ill effects of corruption and corrupt practices and to actively involve all stakeholders to combat the menace that has unfortunately permeated into different segments of the society.
It is pertinent to mention that on 9 December 2003, United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) was first opened for signing at Merida, Mexico and is regarded as a milestone for global efforts to fight the malaise of corruption. Since then the 9 December is observed as International Anti-Corruption Day. Committed to root out corruption, the Government of Pakistan ratified the United Nations Convention against Corruption. Pakistan has already formulated a comprehensive National Anti-Corruption Strategy in 2002, identifying the causes of corruption and devising ways and means to tackle it.
The activities will commence with Anti Corruption Conference to be held at National Library Auditorium on 8 December (Saturday). Prominent speakers and intellectuals will highlight the multifaceted and complex challenges posed by endemic corruption and the role of various strata of the society to effectively arrest this social evil.
All regional NAB offices in consultation with key stakeholders have chalked out special programmes in Lahore, Rawalpindi, Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta and other cities to mark the Day. These include anti corruption seminars, declamation contests among students, radio talk shows and other media programmes. NAB in collaboration with public and private sector universities, colleges and schools have arranged poster competitions, declamation contests, tableaus and lectures on anti-corruption themes.

Pasha, one of the most powerful men in the South Asian nation, told the all-party gathering that US military action against insurgents in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s intelligence chief on Thursday denied US accusations that the country supports the Haqqani network, an Afghan militant group blamed for an attack on the American embassy in Kabul. “There are other intelligence networks supporting groups who operate inside Afghanistan. We have never paid a penny or provided even a single bullet to the Haqqani network,” Lieutenant-General Ahmed Shuja Pasha told Reuters after meeting political leaders over heavily strained US-Pakistani ties. Pasha, one of the most powerful men in the South Asian nation, told the all-party gathering that US military action against insurgents in Pakistan would be unacceptable and the army would be capable of responding, local media said. But he later said the reports were “baseless”. Pakistan has long faced US demands to attack militants on its side of the border with Afghanistan, but pressure has grown since the top US military officer, Admiral Mike Mullen, accused Pasha’s Inter-Services Intelligence ...

Drone Wars: The rationale.The Drone Wars are the new black.

The Drone Wars are the new black. The once covert, highly-secretive and little talked about strategy of using unmanned aerial vehicles to target suspected terrorists in Pakistan and elsewhere has gone mainstream. And now everyone is talking about it. Even Leon Panetta, the former C.I.A. director, whose old agency doesn't officially admit that its drone program exists, is talking about it. Twice in a matter of hours last week he joked about the C.I.A.'s pension for deploying the ominously-named Predator drones. “Obviously I have a hell of a lot more weapons available to me here than I had at the C.I.A.,” he said, referring to his new post as secretary of defense. “Although the Predators aren’t bad.” Complete coverage: The Drone Wars Later that same day, on the tarmac of a naval air base, he said, coyly, that the use of Predators are “something I was very familiar with in my old job.” Soon after, a Predator armed with hellfire missiles took flight from the runway, bound for Libya...
