ISLAMABAD, Nov 12 (APP):Federal Minister for Law and Justice, Azam Nazeer Tarar met with Troels Vester, the Country Representative for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in Pakistan to discuss expanded collaboration on justice reforms and emerging areas such as environmental crimes.

In addition to CAMS, Mr. Vester identified potential new areas for collaboration, including climate change and environmental crime prevention. Mr. Tarar highlighted the importance of strengthening the capacity of prosecutors and welcomed UNODC’s support in this area. Mr. Vester proposed a joint initiative to identify factors contributing to low conviction rates in Pakistan and explore models for improvement. The Minister also briefed Mr. Vester on recent amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code and discussed possible UNODC support for these reforms, with Mr. Vester expressing interest in engaging the judiciary to ensure comprehensive collaboration.
Mr. Azam Nazeer Tarar expressed gratitude to UNODC for its continued support and reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to joint efforts in capacity building, environmental initiatives, and justice reforms.
