Item Summary

“This manual focuses on providing legal arguments and strategic guidance to lawyers in order to assist them in representing individuals facing the death penalty in Pakistan. It can be used as a resource by defence lawyers, civil society organisations, human rights activists, and law students exploring the applicable standards in capital trials. It sets forth the best practices in the defence of capital cases, based on the experiences of advocates around the world, international human rights principles, and the jurisprudence of both national courts and international tribunals.” “This manual highly recommends the use of forensic experts, investigators and other resources that may help in resolving your case. For example, while we recommend consulting with an expert in every capital case, qualified experts are not always available. We are aware of the vast disparities in resources available to capital litigators. Wherever possible, we suggest creative strategies for overcoming resource constraints so that you can provide the best quality legal representation under the circumstances.”
