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.

Abstract:

The pursuit of gender equality in the workplace has been a central theme of social and economic discourse for decades. While significant strides have been made, gender discrimination continues to manifest in various forms, undermining the potential of individuals and hindering organizational progress. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of workplace gender discrimination, moving beyond anecdotal evidence to explore its systemic nature and propose evidence-based solutions.  

Gender discrimination, in its essence, involves treating individuals differently based on their gender, resulting in unequal opportunities, treatment, or outcomes. This can manifest in explicit actions, such as denying a promotion to a qualified woman based on her gender, or in more subtle, implicit biases, such as unconsciously attributing leadership qualities more readily to men. These biases, whether conscious or unconscious, perpetuate a cycle of inequality that negatively impacts women and gender minorities across various industries and professions.
