HAQ’s first report on the juvenile justice system in India is based primarily on its own journey over the last three and a half years and experiences in this field. It is also a personal journey that we as individuals have traversed in
this period. Several co-travellers joined us and left, each one of them bringing in something new and significant. They include our team members, volunteers and interns. One of them was Ruzbeh N Bharucha, who went on to
write ‘my god is a JUVENILE DELINQUENT’, based on what he saw and experienced as a volunteer with HAQ, working with the Juvenile Justice Board.

The Organizational conflicts:
There are more than one type of organizational conflict. There are 1). Differences in power, status, and culture. 2). Competition for scarce resources, 3). Drive for autonomy. 4). Bifurcation of subunit interest. 5). Interdependence, and 6). Organizational ambiguity. All 6 of these different types of conflicts, makes up a lot of what goes on in many different organizations. Lets start with Differences in power. This conflict proves to be out of place on the conflict chart. Whenever there is a struggle and power is at the forefront, conflict becomes inevitable. Next, there is Competition for scarce resources. When it comes to scarce resources, many organizations stand up and fight for the resources that would help their brand and organization succeed. There is also Drive for autonomy. When an organization has drive, it would go above and beyond to accomplish the goals of the organization. Even going up against other members in the organization in order to reach the goals of the organization. Another conflict is Bifurcation of subunit interest. Bifurcation is a natural source of conflict. In the world of organizational conflict, there is also Interdependence. The conflict of Interdependence, occurs when there is a mutual interdependence in the organization in order to achieve the goals of the organization. Last but not least, there is Organizational ambiguity. When there is ambiguity in the organization, there is substantive conflict between managers and their subordinates.
How best to handle the issues of the conflicts?
In order to handle these types of issues in the workplace of any organization, their must be equality for everyone in the organization. In order to manage employees of an organization, the manager of the organization must keep order amongst their employees. In many organizations, there is chaos, struggle, hardships, and many other conflicts that organizations face, as stated above. It is the job of the organization's manger to create different strategies and techniques in order to be able to keep the peace in the organization. Many organizations have many different people from different backgrounds and different race and ethnicity (Hayward, 2015). With this being said, there are many different opinions and different ways of thinking, as well as different ways to run the organization. Tempers flares, arguments happen, and fights break out in some instances, when there is conflict between employees. In rare instances there are deaths, caused by other employees of the same organization. This is why it is a must that the managers take control of the different types of Organizational conflicts, that may occur in the organization. Havening strategies and techniques are supportive resources that help keep conflicts out of organizations and that makes for a better environment in organizations.

Effectiveness of dispute resolution councils in alternative dispute resolution: A study of selected districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan
Japanese system of dispute resolution from 2006 national surveyShiro Kashimura
After a brief introduction of the sociological perspective toward the phenomena of law, the presentation discusses some results of the national survey regarding trouble-experience and advice seeking in Japanese society, which was conducted in 2006. To better explain the observed varieties of remedy-seeking actions of individuals in terms of the problems in their lives, two models - Legalistic and Alternative - are considered. The slide was presented as a lecture in the series of 2014 Kobe University's Summer School of Asian Law and Dispute Management.
Healthcare waste management in Pakistan is not so good and healthcare facilities should be facilitated economically by the government to improve waste management procedures.
Healthcare waste is such waste which is generated from healthcare facilities, natal care, treatment centers of human and animals. It mainly includes different types of wastes such as sharps, infected syringes, animal and human tissues, drugs and medicines. There are different health risks associated with each type of waste so their management is necessary.
Healthcare waste is of several types and its exposure to public, nurses, cleanliness staff, patients and paramedical staff is from several routes like inhalation, ingestion and skin contact. Once it gets entry into environment it causes several health impacts which may lead to death. There are guidelines and treatment systems in Pakistan for the treatment of healthcare waste but since there is no system of check and balance so condition is worse here. Most of the diseases are caused from the exposure to different types of healthcare waste. So there is need to treat this waste according to WHO guidelines before its final disposal into environment.
Government and associated departments should step in to control the situation. There is serious need of handling of waste specially sharps and syringes, pathological waste and infectious waste.
Hospitals, which are major part of healthcare waste, must be charged if they don’t handle waste properly.
Workers should be given trainings for the awareness of health hazardous of healthcare waste.
There should be strict rules and regulations for the use of protective equipment such as gloves and masks and special dress for the collection and disposal of waste.
Above all, there should be proper system for the segregation, collection, storage and transportation of waste.
Storage area must be separate and away from healthcare facility so that it cannot affect health of workers.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Panel Report on the occasion of 16th SDPI’s Sustainable Development Conference
By: Maryam S. Abbasi
Chair: Dr. Zarina Salamat,Council ofSocial Sciences PakistanIslamabad
Speakers:
1. Dr. Sultan-i-Rome, Associate Professor of History, Government Jahanzeb College, Swat
2. Barrister Dr. Ehtisham Anwar,Additional Deputy Commissioner General (ADCG),
Islamabad; and Humphrey Fellow, University of Minnesota, USA
3. Mr. Asif Memon, Sustainable Development Policy Institute, Islamabad, Pakistan
4. Mr. Waqar Chohan, Assistant Inspector General (Special Branch), Police Service of
Pakistan, Islamabad
Special comments by:
1. Mr. Harris Khalique, Team Leader AAWAZ, Development Alternatives, Inc (DAI),
Islamabad
2. Mr. Muhammad Tehseen, South Asia Partnership Pakistan (SAPP)
3. Dr. Abid Suleri, Sustainable Development Policy Institute, Islamabad, Pakistan
Dr. Zarina Salamatchaired the session with an introduction to alternate dispute resolution
mechanisms and its provision in constitution while elaborating its stipulations in the formal
justice system.
Dr. Sultan-i-Romehighlighted the collateral damage of Shariat-e-Mohamadi by the Talibans in
the Malakand and Swat Agency and the step taken by the Military to control it, lead to a three
year war and displacement of many.He further added that from 2007-2009 Army started
operation against Taliban’s. Between this time period dialogues were also made between
Awami National Party and Talibans but they were not successful because of the violations of
terms of agreements. Between the dispute of military and Talibans, communities of Swat
suffered a lot. Their houses, schools,property and markets were damaged.Thousands of the
Taliban were caught and a large number of them surrendered. By the end of June 2009 the
security forces claimed success and in the second half of July the internally displaced persons
(IDPs) were allowed to come back.While discussing the main findings he said that“Actions (in
Aid of Civil Power) Regulation, 2011” has not been followed in letter and spirit in its entirety by
the quarters concerned, which has created and creates misunderstanding, mistrust, abhorrence,
and resentment in greater circle of the society especially against the Armed Forces. This, in
turn, is likely to ignite and spark unrest, once more, sooner or later, in which case there will be
violent reaction against the Armed Forces as has been observed in respect of the police as a
result of the police degrading and abusive behavior and treatment with the Tahrik Nifaz-eShariat-e-Muhammadi’s (TNSM’s) activists after the rising of 1994. He recommended that the
regulation may be followed in letter and spirit, in its entirety, by the federal and provincial
governments and the Armed Forces.
2. Mr. Asif Memonpresented his findings of research carried out at Punjab and Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa under AWAAZ project. According to his findings the preference is to resolve
issues In-House. Most of the families are reserved and they don’t let their issues to be
discussed at other forums. But if issue cannot be resolved at home, then it is brought into Jerga.
These are universal forums for dispute resolution in Punjab and KPK. Disadvantage is that
women don’t get representation there. Some male relative is appointed on their behalf and
decisions are made. If one party doesn’t agree to Jerga decision then strong party involves
judiciary. Mr. Asif Memon told that, Jerga is the most prefer system in rural area of KPK and
Punjab because its cost effective and saves time.
Barrister Dr. Ehtisham Anwarmade a lot of beneficial recommendations for the improvement
of ADR system. He told that there are provisions of ADR in Pakistani Law but unfortunately
none of stakeholder is aware of this and public is worst in this case. He strongly recommended
that manuals of ADR should be developed and awareness should be given at grass root levels.
He also added that lawyers are not friend of ADR but if they are made legal part of ADR then
they will be interested in it. He also recommended for making ADR as curriculum of judiciary so
that judicial officer have knowledge of ADR. Civil society can also be part of it by developing
database of ADR. Media and Civil society can also take part for the awareness especially media
can project ADR in positive way. There are many issues which can be resolved at lower level to
save time of judiciary.
Mr. Waqar Chohan focused his discussion on the effectiveness of the alternate dispute
resolution mechanisms to provide compensation and emotional restoration to the aggrieved
party that lacks in the formal dispute resolution system. Since people are ignorant of the formal
dispute resolution system, the access to ADR (Alternate Dispute Resolution), like Masalihati
Committee, is quick and has lesser opportunity cost for masses who cannot afford to forego
their day wage in favor of formal justice system.He told that ADR is the most preferred process
by the people because it’s less formal, maintains respect and confidentiality, cost effective and
produces better results. On the other hand he also highlighted some drawbacks of ADR such as
influence of existing power on decision making and increase of victim’s fear in some cases. He
added that rights of victim and offender cannot be ensured in ADR process. He emphasized that
government can create more space for ADR Mechanism in PPC and can facilitate its centers at
lower courts level and police station levels. Government can also impart trainings for the
sensitization of judicial and policy officers, Mr. Waqar Chohan recommended. He said that
NGOs and Civil Societies can do research in ADR Mechanisms in the context of Pakistanis
legal, social and cultural background.
Discussion
“There is a dire need to identify the leader within the community to recognize and manage the
conflict” said Mohammad Tehseen, Executive Director of South Asian Partnership Pakistan. The
team lead of AAWAZ program Harris Khalique raised the question for needing informal dispute
resolution mechanisms in presence of formal justice system as the unregulated ADR further
empowers the powerful and pushing the marginalized against the wall.
Findings from AAWAZ project depicted that ADR is the secondary mode of dispute resolution as
their first choice is family elders. Although a separate mechanism exists for minorities to solve
3. their disputes but when the conflict is between minority and majority the case is taken up to the
majorities ADR system which fails to accommodate them.
The session was concluded with the congratulatory remarks of Dr. Abid Suleri, Executive
Director of SDPI. He stated that in order to have the right answers we need to ask the right
questions and it requires an in-depth analysis of ADR mechanisms to understand what works to
restructure the system by bringing all the stakeholders on board.
Experts in the session on alternate dispute resolution (ADR) and access to justice highlighted
the need for such mechanisms in the prevention of various types of conflict, including the
persistent militancy problem in Pakistan.
