§ Mr. Lennox-BoydMr. Afzal was a dual British-Pakistani national, and the United Kingdom has no standing under international law to intervene in the investigation of his murder, which is being conducted by the Pakistani police. Our high commission in Islamabad is, however, maintaining contact with the Pakistani authorities.
