LUMS Faculty Publishes Case Study with Harvard Law School on Pakistan’s FATF Grey Listing
LUMS is proud to announce the publication of a major international case study authored by Dr. Faiza Ismail, Assistant Professor at the Shaikh Ahmad Hassan School of Law (SAHSOL), in collaboration with Professor Howell E. Jackson of Harvard Law School. The three-part case study, titled “Pakistan and the FATF Grey List,” has been published by the Harvard Law School Case Studies Program and is now publicly accessible through the Harvard repository.
This important work offers an in-depth examination of Pakistan’s engagement with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), tracing the country’s efforts to strengthen its anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) frameworks.
Drawing on detailed analysis of Pakistan’s regulatory reforms, institutional challenges, and strategic action plans, the case study explores the factors that led to Pakistan’s placement on the FATF grey list, the progress made across multiple review cycles, and the remaining hurdles that shaped its eventual compliance trajectory. Designed as a teaching and policy resource, it provides valuable insights for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers in the areas of governance, financial regulation, and national security.
This publication reflects LUMS’ growing academic engagement with leading global institutions and highlights the impactful research being conducted at SAHSOL. Dr. Ismail’s contribution underscores the School’s commitment to producing scholarship that informs real-world policy debates and advances international understanding of critical regulatory issues.
LUMS congratulates Dr. Ismail on this significant achievement and celebrates the visibility it brings to the University’s research excellence on the global stage.
