The study has mainly used the descriptive research design and it has used the secondary data for achieving the objective of this study. It is concluded that most of the changes into the anti-terrorism policy of Pakistan were brought with political haste and under the pressure of the international powers and Pakistan lacked the institutional capacity to implement the anti-terrorism policy. It is recommended that for the successful implementation of the anti-terrorism policy Pakistan need to thoroughly review her investigation, prosecution and adjudication departments of the prevalent criminal justice system otherwise any changes to the mere document of the policy would not bring any result.
