Impunity and rule of law:
FOHRID has learned important lessons in filing PIL cases during project implementation. It was found and practiced that extra ordinary jurisdiction of the Supreme Court can be adopted in pursuit of seeking justice on the case of unlawful killings by security forces. In most of the cases, victims cannot get justice if human rights organizations or institutions do not take initiatives to file PIL cases in their favour. Justice delayed is justice denied. It was realized in practice that court process is often lengthy and justice is delayed. So, it is necessary to work towards speedy justice and reform of court procedures.
New learning were gained in the Task Force formation.
