The FATA Declaration was unanimously approved by more than 300 members of FATA Reforms Councils from all tribal agencies and frontier regions at the FATA Grand Assembly on June 22, 2013 in Peshawar. The consensus FATA Declaration highlights urgent reforms priorities, including effective implementation of the 2011 reforms enacted by the President of Pakistan. The declaration contains 19 recommendations, encompassing essential changes needed to ensure mainstreaming of FATA and political participation of tribal citizens. The FATA Grand Assembly also asserted that tribesmen and tribeswomen must be guaranteed the same fundamental rights enjoyed by other citizens of Pakistan. Some of the specific changes proposed in the FATA Declaration are: 1) Constitutional amendment to allow FATA parliamentarians to legislate; 2) FATA Council elected by tribal citizens; 3) Political Administration accountable to an elected local government; 4) Division of executive and judicial powers in FATA; 5) Reserved seats for women of FATA; 6) Frontier Crimes Regulation abolished or substantially amended; 7) Actions in Aid of Civil Power Regulation abolished; 8) Extension of High Court jurisdiction to FATA; 9) Extension of PEMRA jurisdiction to FATA; and 10) Grassroots promotion of education throughout FATA. The FATA Grand Assembly was attended by the Honorable Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Engineer Shaukatullah Khan, who offered his endorsement of the people-driven reforms process in FATA. Senator Farhatullah Babar was also a guest of honor on this dignified occasion. The FATA Declaration now brings FATA into the limelight by amplifying the voices of its people as they push for change through reforms. Struggling for political and legal reforms, FATA citizens are working to usher in a new era of prosperity in an otherwise sidelined region of Pakistan. The FATA Declaration is a foundation for concrete developments in this direction as SBF works to organize a FATA Convention wherein this landmark document of consensus recommendations for reforms in FATA will be presented to the highest level political authority in Pakistan.
