Dr. Sikander Ahmad Shah presented on Pakistan’s peacebuilding initiatives—including Saiban-e-Pakistan and Paigham-e-Pakistan—in the context of religious freedom and interfaith harmony at the 32nd Annual International Law & Religion Symposium held at Brigham Young University, Utah. He also delivered a lecture series at Cornell Law School under the Clarke Initiative for Law and Development, sharing insights from his newly published book Federalist Solution to Pakistan’s Political Crisis (Lexington Books, 2024). In addition, he addressed a distinguished audience at the Institute of Regional Studies, Islamabad, speaking on Human Rights, Business, and Faith. More recently, Dr. Sikander Ahmad Shah’s book chapter, “Universities and UNHCR: Teaching International Refugee Law in Pakistan,” has been published in an edited academic volume on international refugee law and norm diffusion by Brill Publishers (2025). The chapter examines how international refugee law is taught and researched in Pakistan, focusing on collaborations between United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and leading universities such as Lahore University of Management Sciences and National Defence University, while highlighting the need for deeper critical and contextual engagement with refugee protection norms in Pakistan.
