Abstract

In the current situation, where international community does only grow, the unsolved problem of the childhood slavery is that you see kids working in industry. this essay argues that child labour problem is widely affected by social and economic factors. This piece of writing looks at an overall approach to the root causes shifting from addiction and poverty to illiteracy, lack of education, social and economic upturns and insufficient family income as the basic ones. Children cannot survive the financial hardships, they experience emotional issues being overly stressed, and they are at risk of getting wounded through working. At last, I believe the only reason why child labour was eradicated in our country, India (where governments has laws, governmental as well as non-governmental organizations have activities and communities had campaigns for the protection of child rights and to fight against child labour) was the role they all played. The more recent instances of weak supervisory authorities which have been unable to stop children from working disclose this aspect. The main purposes of any law pertaining to enabling children to work or involving any other forms of commitments by children to any form of employment or work have been to provide the working hours, minimum age of employment, complete physical wellness and general safety to the children. It is the much-awaited Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act of 1986 which is by far the most important of the legislations that we have on child labour, the first one being the Child labour (Pledging of Labour) Act of 1933 and the second one being Employment of Child Act of 1986.

Abstract

Severability is generally an idea in retrospect, a filtering through a plethora of contractual rubble to rescue whatever endures a decision that a piece of a law or an agreement is illegal or in contractual terms, unfair. However, severability presents a pressing question time and again and that is: If part of an agreement is illegal or unfair, does the rest of the agreement holds good? The question is likewise universal and could emerge whenever part of an agreement is disputed or a specific utilization of a rule is held unlawful. Besides, the appropriate response can have significant results. It could be safely concluded that are severable parts of the agreement carry the risk of leaving the rest of an agreement in such a shape that the resultant agreement would be something that a party would have never sanctioned alone. On the other hand, a holding of non-severability can mean, for instance, that a whole covenant falls. In the landmark case of a solitary unlawful arrangement.As per Black’s Law Dictionary the Doctrine of Blue Pencil is a legal standard for choosing whether to discredit the entire agreement or just the culpable words. Under this standard, just the culpable words are refuted on the instance that it is conceivable to erase them essentially by running a blue pencil through them rather than changing, including or revising words. The Blue Pencil rule permits the courts just to strike down the culpable arrangements and authorize the remainder of the accord. Hence, it becomes imperative to study and analyse the balance to be created between the employer’s right to keep his trade and business intact as well an employee’s right to earn livelihood. This balance could be established by using the Doctrine of Blue Pencil, however, the same comes up with a few roadblocks of its own, which would be discussed further.

APPROACH OF THE INTERNATIONAL COURT IN DETERMINING THE EXISTENCE OF CUSTOMARY INTERNATIONAL LAW: COMPARISON & ANALYSIS

AUTHOR – DEVIKA RAJ, SYMBIOSIS LAW SCHOOL NAGPUR

BEST CITATION – DEVIKA RAJ, APPROACH OF THE INTERNATIONAL COURT IN DETERMINING THE EXISTENCE OF CUSTOMARY INTERNATIONAL LAW: COMPARISON & ANALYSIS, INDIAN JOURNAL OF LEGAL REVIEW (IJLR), 4 (1) OF 2024, PG. 994-998, APIS – 3920 – 0001 & ISSN – 2583-2344.

ABSTRACT

“Customary International Law is one of the most venerable sources of law. Certain behaviors and practices amongst the state have taken the aegis of time and have been formed as an integral facet of International Law which upon a time-to-time basis seeks the express validation of the International Court of Justice. The consistent comportment of the states has formed and gained the sanctity of law. In this manuscript, We will compare and analyze the approach of the International Court in determining the existence of Customary International Law in certain cases. The customs over time become legal obligations and are not explicitly written under conventions and treaties but preached as a matter of practice. [1] Custom is the method to create legally binding rules ever since the commencement of the international community. The implied consent of the states is present in the scenario of Customary International Law. There is also a lack of aptness and they cannot be regarded to have ceased to exist if they transformed into treaty rules. They pose an important source of International law and are deemed to be an idiosyncratic transaction of practices between two states.” [2]

WOMEN’S HEALTH AND REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS

AUTHOR – MOHIT KUMAR & SATYA VRAT PANDEY, STUDENT AT INTEGRAL UNIVERSITY, LUCKNOW

BEST CITATION – MOHIT KUMAR & SATYA VRAT PANDEY, WOMEN’S HEALTH AND REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, INDIAN JOURNAL OF LEGAL REVIEW (IJLR), 4 (1) OF 2024, PG. 988-993, APIS – 3920 – 0001 & ISSN – 2583-2344.

ABSTRACT

Women’s rights to sexual and reproductive health are essential to women’s overall health, according to the ICPD. The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women contains several articles that serve as the foundation for these rights. The textual underpinning for women’s rights to sexual and reproductive health as stated in this and other international human rights instruments is examined in this article. The rights to health care and information, life, liberty, and personal security, as well as the freedom from discrimination in the distribution of resources for health services and their accessibility, comprise the rights to reproductive and sexual health. The rights to informed consent and confidentiality with regard to health care, as well as autonomy and privacy when making sexual and reproductive decisions, are crucial. The issues that are used to illustrate the article’s points about systemic violations of the aforementioned rights come in a variety of forms, such as maternal mortality, the absence of legal abortion procedures, the underfunding of family planning, coercive population programs, coerced sterilization consent from spouses, and discrimination against pregnant women in the workplace. Reproductive health, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is the entire condition of physical, mental, and social well-being in all aspects pertaining to the reproductive system and all of its functions and processes—rather than just the absence of illness or infirmity. The full physical, mental, spiritual, political, social, and economic well-being of women and girls, predicated on the full realization and defence of women’s human rights, is known as reproductive justice. This article presents a non-polarized, more inclusive ethical course of action that uses an optimal health approach with new alliances for the reproductive justice movement today while acknowledging the history and limitations of reproductive health and rights.
