Abstract
The study focuses on current national legal mechanism against torture in Pakistan. It analyzes international mechanism against torture and Islamic perspective about torture. In comparison, it envisages the various laws of Pakistan which indirectly provide procedural and substantive provisions to counter it. Meanwhile, the judicial precedents in Pakistan shows stern actions have been taken, in the form of sentences and convictions, against torture in many cases, but such sentences non-execution translates non-seriousness of executive in dealing with such cases. Further, we have deliberated arguments in favour of torture in extreme situations by conditionalists or counter arguments by abolitionists. The study concludes that Pakistan may follow abolitionist approach. This may be possible either through enacting effective law and its execution or ratification of Optional Protocol (OP) against torture by Pakistan despite in the post 9/11 situation both options would be hard nuts to crack for her in near future.
