International humanitarian law is a body of rules that regulate means and methods of warfare in an armed conflict in order to mitigate if not avoid lose of civilian lives and for those who are no longer taking direct part in hostilities. A non-international armed conflict involves armed confrontation between a state and belligerent groups, insurgent groups, armed militias or armed groups or armed confrontation between armed groups within a state. This paper attempts to examine the effectiveness of International humanitarian law in non international armed conflict. It also delves into the refinement and interpretation of International Humanitarian Law in non international armed conflict by paying attention to the International Humanitarian law mechanism and developments as far as non international armed conflict is concerned.This paper also pays attention to the transition of armed groups means of engagement vis-a-vis application of international humanitarian law jurisprudence.

Over the past decades, transnational corporations have come under increasing public scrutiny for their involvement in human rights abuses, particularly in developing countries. One may think of violent acts against local communities, slave labor, and grand-scale environmental pollution. International investment law protects and safeguards the rights of foreign investors but falls short of holding them accountable to societies where they operate. A few arbitral tribunals have grappled with the question of whether corporations could be held accountable for illegalities that constitute human rights violations inflicted upon the host state and its people. Arbitral case law suggests that the outcome of the case as to whether host states ought to be compensated for such violations varies based on how the illegal conduct is framed and the source of the liability-creating rules alleged to have been breached. This article discusses the arbitral treatment of corporate human rights violations by investment tribunals (Incomplete)..

Cybercrime is a growing concern in Bangladesh, and this paper will critically analyze the nature and extent of cybercrime in Bangladesh and its impact on individuals, businesses, and the economy as a whole. The research will begin by exploring the various types of cybercrime prevalent in Bangladesh and the methods used by cybercriminals to carry out these crimes. It will then examine the reasons behind the increase in cybercrime in Bangladesh, including factors such as inadequate cybersecurity measures, low awareness among the public, and the widespread use of digital technology. Moreover, the research question for this paper is: What are the main causes of the growing cybercrime problem in Bangladesh, and what can be done to mitigate its impact? Finally, this paper also discuss the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies in tackling cybercrime and the measures that can be taken to address this issue.

International Criminal Court (ICC) has no jurisdiction over the crimes of terrorism. Initially, combating terrorism served as the motivation toward creating an ICC. In 1937, under the auspices of the League of Nations, an international convention against terrorism and an annexed statute of ICC were drafted. Neither of these documents entered into force. Contemporary international criminal law, however, focuses on the prosecution and punishment of crimes committed in connection to large-scale armed conflicts. The only solution to eradicate terrorism is the consensus of the governments in a comprehensive document on the definition, examples, exceptions and criminal mechanisms in the fight against terrorism. Until then, we cannot expect international criminal law to fight terrorism well, and we will witness an increase in the number of victims of this sinister phenomenon.However, Rome Statute has gone into action and the court will begin its activity toward achieving the goals.

When Britain announced in 1968 its withdrawal from the Persian Gulf, Iran reiterated its historical claim to sovereignty over the territory of Bahrain. This article contains the first ever analyses of thousand pages of declassified secret UK archives from 1968-71 and how the UK, the Shah of Iran and the local Sunni governance of Bahrain agreed on a staged procedure and outcome, under the auspices of the UN Secretary General: This was for the Shah of Iran to save face and to persuade via this undue scheme the Parliament of Iran and the UN Security Council to give its consent to the renunciation of Iran’s claims and to Bahrain’s independence under the Sunni as opposed to Shia governance. The matter may lead to Iranian claims before UN and ICJ, as the Maurius has successfully done during last year over the Chagos Archipelago, or during ongoing negotiations with Gulf powers.

Nowadays, unilateral termination of international treaties is repeatedly exercised and becomes normal and justified by states’ strict sense of protection of sovereign interest. This article aims to assess the legal standards and impacts of unilateral termination of international treaties by analyzing the US unilateral termination of the Treaty on Elimination of Intermediate-Range Nuclear Force (INF treaty) signed by the US and the USSR in 1987. The finding shows that the US terminated the INF treaty in 2019 by alleging Russia violated the Treaty, and the justification considered ‘an extraordinary event that jeopardizes supreme interest’. This paper argues that the termination negated the purpose of the Treaty and had different alternatives to avoid withdrawal, but options have been overlooked. The termination endangers normative principles of flexibility, good faith, and trust in international law of treaties that can lead parties into dangerous escalation in the intensifying global arms race to provoke a nuclear war.

International law provides a framework for resolving disputes between international actors, and in this research, this framework was discussed in the structure of international arbitration. International arbitration law refers to the process of resolving disputes between the main actors of international law. This process is carried out in accordance with the proposal of governments, international agreements, such as the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards ("New York Convention"); But today, issues such as the use of laws, cultural problems, and concerns about the interests of judges have led to concerns about the legal methods presented. This article, with the help of analytical method and library collection of information on the procedure in international law, tried to examine and present the existing challenges and tried to provide solutions that fit the current conditions and technology.

The global green economy mechanism is considered in some international environmental documents to achieve sustainable development. Promoting environmental-friendly technologies, protecting natural capital, improving employment and reducing poverty, along with expanding investment and technology, are based on green economy policies. Green taxation is one of the tools of the green economy policy for the deployment of sustainable technologies. This research is based on the analysis of law and environmental documents with the green economy approach. From the most important green tax strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) has been identified in this paper, deployment of environmentally friendly technologies, the possibility of reducing production, the cost of non-environmentally-friendly goods and create economic incentives to businesses with less pollution, Undesirable effects on highly dependent energy entities and increase the scope of rents and administrative corruption for tax evasion. Ultimately, policies such as labeling and other methods of engaging in public participation are presented.

The purpose of this paper is to describe and analyze the challenges and opportunities for the development of international environmental law. This article is a brief description of "international environmental law" as a new branch of public international law. Further, it attempts to provide some knowledge on the sources and principles of international environmental law. The environmental problems in the contemporary world are amongst the most urgent that requires an immediate collective response from the states. Since the environment is a transboundary issue, a single country's effort is not enough, but all countries have to collaborate. In this regard, the solution may be twofold: either work together on having an international instrument or at least give similar concern to environmental problems in domestic environmental law. As we all are living together on this planet, the best way is, yet, working together on implementing international environmental law.

In contemporary parlance, the environment and its preservation have emerged as a principal focus and concern for the global populace. This phenomenon is known to escalate during times of armed conflict. Armed conflicts directly impact the environment (such as destroying natural resources or pollution resulting from military operations). The investigation into the ecological destruction inflicted upon the natural world during the two world wars demonstrates that the emphasis on safeguarding the environment is no longer a theoretical notion but a concrete actuality encapsulated within the framework of legal doctrines. The protection of the environment encompasses a diverse array of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and International Criminal Law (ICL). This study scrutinized the safeguards and preservation of environmental rights in times of armed conflicts, whether domestic or international, through the lenses of ICL and IHL.

La littérature juridique musulmane classique foisonne d’interprétations légitimant l’esclavage mais, pour nous, ces interprétations ne sont que les fruits des considérations politiques, économiques et même théologiques de leurs époques. L’évolution des sociétés musulmane a, par conséquent, rendu – comme le souligne Wael B.Hallaq, obsolètes toutes ces interprétations y compris celles qui prétendent que l’esclavage n’a pas été interdit par le Coran pour des raisons économiques! Pour preuve, réalisant l’inhumanité de cette pratique, les musulmans ont procédé à l’interdiction de cette pratique depuis le début du XIXème siècle, c’est-à-dire avant son interdiction par la communauté internationale. Cette interdiction n’était possible que parce qu’elle a une assise dans le texte coranique et dans la tradition prophétique. D’ailleurs, pour la doctrine juridique musulmane contemporaine, à l’exception de celle véhiculée par les groupes terroristes, l’esclavage n’est qu’une pratique sociale controversée du passée qui n’a plus de pertinence et de légitimité dans le présent.

Since Nigeria’s transition back to democracy in 1999, the atrocities of the erstwhile military regimes have been left practically unaddressed. Though the Human Rights Violations Investigation Commission (‘HRVIC’ or ‘Oputa panel’) was set up in 1999 to investigate human rights violations of the erstwhile military regime, the HRVIC’s report was discarded by the federal government. Hence, unlike Argentina's lustration efforts post-military dictatorship resulted in trials and convictions, Nigeria’s lustration efforts were unfruitful. Nigeria is a party to international human rights treaties. As such, it has an obligation under international to address human rights violations, albeit inertia is the status quo. Despite Nigeria’s obligation under international law, this inertia has led the Nigerian army to proceed with its impunity unabated. Three separate events of military impunity post-1999 are examined to support the proposition that impunity leads to more atrocities, as is the case with the Nigerian army.

The Essequibo territory - situated in the extreme east of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela- its sovereignty is the reason for the dispute with the Cooperative Republic of Guyana. Since the land border has not been established, the maritime projection corresponding to the Atlantic coast is under the shadow of the dispute. The inexistence of delimitation of the maritime spaces and the negotiations to reach agreements on such delimitation increase the conflict in regard to the unilateral authorizations of oil and gas concessions granted by the Cooperative Republic of Guyana in the disputed maritime areas. This paper analyzes the situation of the Atlantic Front in relation to the decisions of the International Tribunal of the Sea establishing precedents on maritime delimitations of States with adjacent coasts through arbitration processes that involve the interests of Venezuela, considering that Venezuela has not subscribed to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

L’esquisse de la problématique des limites au pouvoir congolais de révision constitutionnelle communément appelées « dispositions intangibles » ou « clauses pétrifiées » - “ cláusulas pétrias ” comme dit au Brésil ou encore « clauses d’éternité » a consisté de manière pragmatique en l’analyse de la véritable nature de ce pouvoir. Puisque les articles 219 et 220 de la Constitution posent des bornes à l’exercice du pouvoir congolais de révision constitutionnelle. L’article 218 quant à lui, détermine les conditions à suivre pour réviser. Il est par la suite question de l’étude de ce qui est fondamentalement congolais dans l’élévation de certains principes au rang des principes constitutionnels intangibles. Ces principes ainsi élevés constituent-ils des véritables règles juridiques ou des clauses morales dépourvues de plus-value juridique ? Sont-ils des règles imparfaites ? Telles sont les axes de réflexion de la présente réflexion et les perspectives sans doute nombreuses qu’elle appelle.

The labour rights framework established by Bangladeshi national law and the pertinent ILO Convention legislation are examined in this legal analysis. This study's main research question is: How closely does Bangladeshi national law's labour rights framework adhere to the pertinent provisions of the ILO Convention, and how well are these rights actually upheld and promoted in daily life? The study uses a comparative approach to this research subject, looking at Bangladeshi labour law and the pertinent ILO Convention rules. It examines important topics such the right to organize, collective bargaining, the minimum wage, working conditions, and workplace health and safety. In addition, the study looks at Bangladesh's enforcement and redress systems for abuses of workers' rights. The results of this study can be used to inform conversations about strengthening the protection of workers' rights and promoting decent employment in Bangladesh.

Insecurity is a major plague, the eradication of which has been set as a goal. It is produced by cycles of conflict drivers including injustice, inequality, poverty, environmental degradation, water shortage, poor health, unemployment, social exclusion and other human rights problems; and, therefore, should be prevented holistically. Despite general agreement that proactive is preferable to reactive, success is poor. This article argues that renewed trends of prevention in both soft and hard security fields are discernible as sovereignty yields to interdependence with accompanying calls for earlier and more global warning and action. Traditionally, the policies of international actors have oscillated between and periodically combined two approaches: one, repressive containment and, two, developmentalism combined with humanitarianism. The fundamental question is whether the oscillation between hard and soft prevention has contributed to the loss of faith in international security institutions, and if so, what could be done to reach beyond institutional equivocation.

State-owned enterprises take on various legal statuses across jurisdictions, and sometimes, even within the same jurisdiction. Also, state-owned enterprises pursue multiple commercial and public service objectives. In Ethiopia, relevant laws define the status and objectives of state-owned enterprises. These laws have been however criticized for inadequately regulating the legal status and objectives of state-owned enterprises. This article appraises these laws in light of the OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance of State-owned Enterprises, the World Bank toolkit on Corporate Governance of State-owned Enterprises, and national best practices. Thus, it finds that the existing laws on the status and objectives of state-owned enterprises do not cope with global practices. They establish multiple forms of statuses and mandate state-owned enterprises with expansive and potentially competing objectives. This situation causes state-owned enterprises to face multifaceted problems. The laws need improvement to incorporate the best rules of status and objectives of state-owned enterprises.

This article aims to describe and analyze the challenges and opportunities for the development of international law. It attempts to provide some knowledge regarding global issues that requires an immediate collective response from the international community. Creating a better world for present and future generations require measures and anticipation of future crises (environmental challenges, global warming, human rights, health issues, discriminations, demographic growth, etc.). Significant transformations are taking place in the world, and that they will require a new approach to global governance. COVID-19 pandemic had and will have profound and lasting economic, political and social consequences in every corner of the globe. However, international law as a body of law that governs relations between states, international organizations and private persons exposes its vulnerabilities. Recent developments in the international community have made awareness of international law necessary and inevitable as the fully effective law of a fully functioning global society.

Principles of international environmental law play a fundamental role in developing and consolidating international protection of environment. Understanding current and growing principles of international environmental law can guide the interpretation of legal norms and regulations. Moreover, these principles are included in several international treaties and national regulations to protect the environment. Some principles originated from public international law, such as State Sovereignty or International Cooperation. Still, others are related exclusively to international environmental law, such as the principle of prevention and the Precautionary principle. This article provides essential knowledge about the Principles of International Environmental Law. These principles reflect the legal foundations and play a crucial role in the creation, development and application of this field of law. By definition, they are superior to ordinary rules, which should be based on these principles. Results are discussed in terms of applying these principles and their implementation at national and international levels.

The present study was conducted with the purpose of a legal review of the determination of the Security Committee on the development and progression of international law with an emphasis on international peace and security in international law. Given that the founders of the United Nations considered the Security Committee as the most important organ, It was necessary for the organization to provide the most authority to the Council, so they gave two kinds of performance to the Council: first, the peaceful determination of disagrees, which enabled the Council to investigate and recommend a conflict. A circumstance that threatens international concord and protection, and secondly, the Council's threats to peace and aggression (Chapter VII.) In other words, the main tasks of the Council are the implementation of the sixth and seventh chapters of the Charter. Many international organizations of internal affairs manage their structure in the form of a resolution endorsed by the members. Among these executive decisions, we can decide on the formation of special organs within the organization, the acceptance of new members, the transformation of affiliated entities, budget decisions, etc. The Council could also make binding decisions since all UN member states have agreed, in conformity with Article 25 of the Charter, to make judgments of the Security Committee in accordance with the Charter. Of course, the general impression is that the Council's binding decisions are taken only in cases of "threats to peace, violations of peace or threats to peace and acts of rape". But deciding whether such conditions have been fulfilled is under the mastery of the Security Committee under Article 39 of the Charter. And as soon as the Committee concludes that there is a threat to peace or other conditions, it may advise the parties concerned or what steps should be taken to sustain peace (Article 39 of the Charter). Make appropriate decisions. The results showed that the resolutions are of particular importance in terms of plurality and power, but due to their lack of precision, their position among international sources of law has been the source of doubt and wide-ranging questions.

The right to environment is viewed as a concept of human rights third generation in the international arena. Since the environment is recognized as a common heritage of humanity in international documents so as not to endanger the lives of present and future generations, damage to this rich heritage must be prevented or reduced using explicit criminal law requirements in treaties and conventions. The study depicts the criminal protection of the right to a clean environment through library tools with a descriptive-analytical method aimed at presenting the governments’ role in international environmental conventions. Governments only have civil liability for environmental degradation. However, considering the environment as a common heritage of humanity, crimes against it are considered as crimes against humanity. On the other hand, these crimes jeopardize international peace and security; therefore, the wrongdoing government can be prosecuted under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter and convicted to paying compensation.

Port Law requires a specialized study due to the different actors, regimes and contractual terms involved in the maritime business related to the dynamics of the vessel, its cargo and the modalities of exploitation of a vessel, which necessarily require rigorous distinction and must be individualized considering the safety of the dock for embarking, disembarking and environmental challenges, among others. The study of port law is concerned with its institutions that are not found in other disciplines, so it should not be seen only from the perspective of the public-administrative sphere because the associated activities imply an integral knowledge of international trade. The essence of port law is interdisciplinary, considering that it brings together elements that cover the public state service and its control of the development of private commercial activities involving navigation, cargo and freight.

This paper is a Chapter from the author’s latest book, ON THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, Eleven Publishing, 2019. The work is an attempt at a critical understanding of the spirit of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) as implemented, by the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg (ECtHR) – starting with the appointment of the “new Court” in 1998 and up to 2016. The Court, which had begun to function in 1959, has been ever since at the intersection of the two great Western legal traditions. In this perspective, “human rights” are the procedural safety valve, a conduit to the international jurisdiction supposedly capable of resolving authoritatively what could not have been resolved domestically. It is illusory to search in this context for the “essence” of human rights since here “human rights” is practically everything that could not have been properly adjudicated at the domestic level.

The complexities of the modern world highlight the need for new, inclusive, and effective governance models. Complex phenomena such as environmental sustainability, socio-economic challenges, and the rapid evolution of the digital domain mean that traditional governance mechanisms are often inefficient in addressing emerging issues. This is especially true in diverse societies where various stakeholders seek to be heard. Cooperative governance stands out in these cases, combining collective action with shared accountability and informed decision-making. This article examines the premises of cooperative governance as one possible mode of governance that demonstrates the flexibility and complexity required for tackling emerging global challenges. It specifically focuses on the multifaceted character of cooperatives and their potential for democratic governance. This manuscript aims to familiarize the general audience with the nuances of cooperative governance and demonstrate how this mode of governance may offer a suitable governance structure for an ever-evolving world.

This article offers a comprehensive analysis of the arguments put forth by Mr. Putin during his address to the citizens of Russia on 24 February 2022, where he announced a “special military operation” in Ukraine. The author critically examines these arguments through the lens of international law, providing an in-depth analysis of their legal implications. In particular, the article begins with some key excerpts from Mr. Putin’s address on 24 February 2022. Afterwards, in order to clarify the framework that surrounds the circumstances under examination, the article provides a general overview of the fundamental principles of International Law. The article then delves into the issues of NATO expansion to the East and the situation in the People’s Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk. Additionally, the article explores Mr. Putin’s use of the term “special military operation” (rather than “war”) and the concept of “denazification”, shedding light on these terms.
