ABSTRACT

Euthanasia, or “mercy killing,” is a contentious subject in India, entailing significant legal and ethical challenges. While passive euthanasia was legalized by the Supreme Court in Aruna Shanbaug v. Union of India (2011) and reaffirmed in Common Cause v. Union of India (2018), active euthanasia remains illegal. The ethical debate revolves around personal autonomy, the sanctity of life, and the risk of coercion. A comparative analysis with countries like the Netherlands and Canada highlights India’s restrictive approach. Challenges include legal ambiguities, inadequate palliative care, and socio-cultural opposition. Future prospects suggest the need for comprehensive legislation, stronger safeguards, improved healthcare infrastructure, and enhanced public awareness to ensure euthanasia laws uphold both dignity and ethical integrity.

ABSTRACT

 This paper explores the strategic dimensions of proxy wars in the Northeast India, focusing on foreign interventions, cross-border sanctuaries, and arms trafficking. It examines the role of neighbouring states such as China, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Pakistan in fuelling insurgency, directly or indirectly, through logistical and ideological support.  The situation regarding proxy warfare involving the Indo-Myanmar adjoining boarders and the use of Zo-Kuki militants in the Indo-Myanmar border regions, particularly in Naga villages like Wanglee in Kamjong District, Manipur is both complex and tragic. Allegations have emerged that the Assam Rifles have collaborated with certain militant groups to further their strategic objectives, resulting in violence against innocent civilians. This proxy warfare approach has led to a cycle of retribution and conflict, exacerbating the already tense relations among different ethnic communities in the region. In areas such as Wanglee, civilians have faced dire consequences, including displacement, loss of life, and the destruction of property due to clashes instigated by these proxy operations. The involvement of Zo-Kuki militants, allegedly supported by state forces, has intensified fears within local populations, who find themselves caught between insurgent activities and military operations. The situation raises critical questions about the ethics of using proxy forces in counterinsurgency operations and the impact of such strategies on civilians. It underscores the urgent need for accountability and oversight to prevent further human rights violations while addressing the underlying issues of ethno-nationalism and separatist sentiments that fuel the ongoing insurgency. Overall, the reliance on proxy forces not only undermines trust in government institutions but also perpetuates a cycle of violence that severely affects the lives of innocent people in these vulnerable border regions.

ABSTRACT

The escalating climate crisis necessitates unprecedented financial mobilization to support mitigation and adaptation efforts globally. International Financial Institutions (IFIs), such as the World Bank Group, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and regional development banks, play a crucial role in channelling these funds. This article examines the contribution of IFIs to financing the global climate agenda from an international law perspective. It analyses the legal frameworks governing IFI operations, their evolving climate finance mandates, and the challenges they face in ensuring effective and equitable climate action. The article argues that while IFIs possess significant financial leverage, their actions must be aligned with the principles of international environmental law, including common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities (CBDR-RC), and must prioritize the needs of vulnerable states and communities.

INTRODUCTION

 Brief Introduction of the Topic

From the enactment of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, till today, the landscape of labor laws has been in a stage of constant evolution. As the economy and workplace dynamics change, so does the need for an updated legal framework, hence coming into existence is the Industrial Relations Code, 2020. The given project attempts to engage in an extensive comparative analysis of the dispute resolution mechanisms put forth by both the IDA and IRC. The study, therefore, examines the historical background, major provisions, and procedural anomalies that distinguish IRC from IDA and those aspects where IRA introduces new frameworks, attempting to address the lacuna in IDA. It is necessary to study this impact of changes upon workers, employers, and trade unions. The ultimate aim of this project is to add to the already ongoing discourse on labor relations and how far these legal frameworks have worked in achieving harmonious industrial environments either in India or elsewhere

ABSTRACT

Extradition plays a critical role in combating transnational crime by enabling nations to cooperate in bringing fugitives to justice beyond their territorial limits. India’s extradition framework is shaped by a combination of domestic legislation, bilateral treaties, and international obligations under conventions such as the UN Convention Against Corruption and the UN Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime. This paper explores the legal and diplomatic dimensions of India’s extradition practices, focusing on the Extradition Act, 1962, bilateral treaty provisions, and procedural safeguards. It examines key legal principles—such as dual criminality, the political offense exception, and the rule of specialty—within the context of India’s engagements with countries like the United Kingdom, United States, and the UAE. Through an analysis of case law and treaty practice, the study highlights the operational challenges India faces, including delays, diplomatic tensions, human rights concerns, and non-reciprocity. The paper argues for a more harmonized, transparent, and rights-oriented extradition process that balances sovereign interests with global legal cooperation.
