The Idara-e-Aman-o Insaf (Committee for Peace and Justice) was set up in 1974 by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Karachi and the Church of Pakistan in Karachi. The organisation serves the people irrespective of tribe, clan, colour or creed. For the past 30 years, the Committee for Justice and Peace, has worked for poor and marginalised Christians and Muslims, labouring to obtain for them basic employment rights. It has also assisted women, provided information on issues such as the discriminatory Blasphemy Laws, and undertaken programmes with local human rights groups. The Idare-e Amn-O-Insaf is an NGO. It's Pakistan-based and run by Pakistani Christians. The charity deals with social and labor issues, while it also publishes a magazine called "Jafakash" (Hard Worker). A recent issue dealt with Pakistan's controversial blasphemy laws. 〔 〕 On 25 September 2002, the brutal murders of seven Christians at the Idare-e Amn-O-Insaf office in Karachi, shocked the world. These vicious, premeditated murders were the latest in a series of acts of violence targeting the Christian minority community in Pakistan. In recent months, Pakistani Christians have suffered from the mass murder of 16 (and a Muslim policeman) in Bahawalpur (28 October 2001), five in Islamabad (16 March 2002), six in Murree Christian School (5 August 2002) and four in Mission Hospital Taxila (9 August 2002). There are two similar organizations for Social Action in Pakistan: the Human Development Center Toba Tek Singh and the Justice & Peace Commission - Multan. There is also a National Commission for Justice and Peace of the Catholic Church in Pakistan. In 2009, Peter Jacob was the executive secretary of the NCJP and Archbishop Lawrence Saldanha was the chairperson of the Commission. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Idara-e-Amn-o-Insaf」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
