The Agonizing Narrative of Environmental Dilapidation in the tussle of Armed Conflict; from the Lens of International Humanitarian Laws
No full textIt is reasonable that humans have long recorded war fatalities in terms of injuries, death of combatants and civilians, the devastation of cities, and lost livelihoods; we fail to consider the environment, yet, we cannot disregard this issue. The study focuses on how war fuelled catastrophic environmental proceedings have continued to contamination of land, destruction of forests, plunder natural resources, and climate change, forcing the mass displacement of populations within and across borders and creating threats to human health; accordingly, these threats include the direct and indirect consequences of war and conflict such as a lack of clean air, water, nutrition, and housing, increased exposure to infectious diseases, and psychological trauma. The United Nations already tries to reduce the destruction from warfare through international laws called the Fourth Geneva Convention. However, this law has not stopped the degradation of the environment during the war. There is a need for a new set of rules that protect human health and the environment during armed conflict. In this study, the current study engaged in the debate and contextualises it with the research related to the war and environment to offer a better explanation than what already exists and, on its subtext, what the social renovation model needs to bear to stand the test of time and challenges. This research is a normative legal study in which part of the literature will be reviewed to acquire the necessary data using normative approaches. This study will collect and use secondary data from primary, secondary, and legal documents
Role of WTO in Afghanistan’s Path to Sustaining Peace Through Trade
No full textThe World Trade Organization (WTO) plays a pivotal role in shaping global trade dynamics, and its influence extends to countries emerging from conflict, such as Afghanistan. This paper explores the potential of WTO membership in Afghanistan’s path toward sustaining peace through trade. It examines how trade liberalization, facilitated by the WTO, can serve as a tool for economic stabilization, foster regional cooperation, and contribute to long-term peacebuilding in post-conflict societies. By analyzing Afghanistan’s economic history, current trade policies, and the challenges posed by political instability, the study underscores the role of trade as a means to enhance economic resilience, create jobs, and promote socio-economic development. Furthermore, it delves into the specific provisions of the WTO, such as dispute resolution mechanisms and trade facilitation agreements, which could offer Afghanistan the framework needed to integrate into the global economy while mitigating the risks of economic dependency and political fragility. The paper concludes with policy recommendations for Afghanistan to leverage WTO membership as a means to foster peace, stability, and sustainable development, while highlighting the broader implications of global trade governance in fragile states

The Legal Paradigm of Menstrual Leaves Policy in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Afghanistan
No full textMost legal regimes have failed to provide paid menstrual leave for women during employment, and this failure is due to several factors. Primarily, “menstruation” is very private. In some societies, it is still a taboo and degrading practice; employed women do not like to discuss it with their employers, mainly (who are men). The present study examines the legal framework and challenges of
menstrual leave in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Afghanistan. The existing article ponders three specific research questions: Is the menstrual leave a blessing or a curse? Should employ women be entitled to period leave under an Islamic regime? How effective are the legal frameworks
and the regulatory types of laws in the above three states? The study is employed doctrinal legal research in which normative approaches were to evaluate the literature to acquire the required legal propositions. The literature gathered and used in this study will include secondary, primary, and legal documents. This qualitative exploration aims to analyse the national principles on recognising
menstrual policy, which is scarce. This is unlike the situation in Indonesia, Russia and Spain. To cope up with such scarcity, this study mined any type of relevant statutes that the UAE, Kuwait and Afghanistan have enacted and published, including written (manifestos, books, and articles on labour issues. Furthermore, the study is limited to the legal system of the aforementioned states. The study is expected to help women empowerment, create legal awareness, highlight right health in the light of right under the statutory laws
