Event @ the World Affairs Council, 12/27 December 27, 2007

Event: The World Affairs Council is honored to welcome Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, Chief Justice of Pakistan to speak in the Bay Area. Mr. Chaudhry, having survived attempts by President Musharraf to remove him as chief justice earlier this year, will discuss the independent judiciary and its role in promoting the rule of law and democracy in Pakistan. In light of the political and legal uncertainty over the past few months in Pakistan, the Chief Justice will offer his perspective on what is happening in Pakistan today. What effect do these events have on stability and security in other countries in the region like Afghanistan?
