CONT... Civil-Military Relations and Governance The transatlantic allies should: 1- Invest narrowly, but systematically, in key areas like energy supply and education, rather than spread Western public investments thinly across a wide range of sectors and actors. 2- Expand U.S. and European funding for Pakistan’s public education system, but tie this assistance directly to curriculum reform to stem radicalization in the classroom. 3- Invest in strengthening the Pakistani parliament’s standing committees to enhance government oversight, and expand education and training of the Pakistani judiciary. 4- Invest concertedly in media training, including through exchanges for members of the Pakistani print and broadcast media, and expand media outreach into Pakistan directly through U.S. and European public broadcasters to counter anti-Western and illiberal propaganda. 5- Hold the government accountable for human rights abuses that are within its power to mitigate, including by imposing standards of conditionality on assistance programs, as well as building civilian capacity to mitigate abuses stemming from absence of the rule of law.
