Addicts are unable to regulate their behaviour. They will do anything to obtain drugs, alcohol, or other substances, including jeopardizing their friendships, families, or careers. Why does addiction cause people to act in such a harmful manner? And why is it so difficult to stop?
We keep protesting for our rights, and they keep getting rid of us.
The recent overturning of a landmark judgement in the field of abortion rights in the U.S. has bemused countries across the globe with regard to the plight of Women’s rights in the U.S. The overturning of Roe v. Wade in June 2022 came as a shock to several women who were relying on the confidence instilled by the historic judgement. Abortion rights in the U.S. have rolled back to their starting point following this unprecedented decision of the Supreme Court of the United States (herein referred to as “SCOTUS”). For a country like the US, which boasts about its progressiveness and values, this is a severe blow to its proclaimed notions of individual freedom and privacy.

Ancient civilizations, empires like the Byzantine Empire’s Code of Justinian, to religious books bear testimony to the fact that humanitarian law and laws of war exist to contain the ravages and tyranny of war. Perhaps the need to systematize was felt only during the Second World War when ghastly crimes against humanity were executed. To reiterate military necessities and simultaneously balance the concerns of humanity, International Humanitarian Law (IHL) was brought into force.

ABSTRACT
The amendment to the constitution of any nation around the world is a sacrosanct procedure which is done in order to change the constitutional jurisprudence of the country and to meet the demands of the changing times. Whenever a constitution is amended many factors are taken into consideration to pass an amendment. These factors can be the will of the people or the need to incorporate the interpretation of the constitution by the constitutional courts; but, many a times these factors can also be political appeasement. This phenomenon is not seen in most countries, because most tend to amend the constitution for virtuous purposes to provide stability, whereas some choose not to because it is already stable. Constitutions should be amended, yes, but not hastily and frequently; it should be amended for the right purposes. At the same time its original identity, text, and intent are not be changed to give it an altered look.

ABSTRACT
In India, the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, of 1967 (UAPA) is considered major legislation in keeping terrorism under control.

The damage caused by global warming and climate change to humankind as well as abiotic factors is widely known. The rate at which biodiversity is being lost, forests are cleared, rivers and skies are polluted is unprecedented. The detrimental effects on the health of the planet are being felt already.
The mindless pursuit of hard cash and tall-grey buildings has blinded humankind. The race towards self-destruction has been going on for a long time now. The future of this planet is seemingly bleak if adequate and urgent measures are not taken towards remedying the harm being caused to it.
ABSTRACT We, over the period of time, have been witnessing a migration of the judiciary from the well-settled principles of criminal jurisprudence, which is a presumption of innocence until proven guilty. Remand has been an important judicial function that has… Continue Reading →

More than half of the world’s population menstruates, which includes not only women but also transgender persons. Besides bleeding, such individuals suffer from other problems such as dysmenorrhea, poor coordination, headaches, anxiety, fatigue, etc. Menstruation is not much talked about in our society and hence related legislations are barely found or rarely cater for the needs of the hour.
A menstrual leave policy aims at providing 1 to 4 days leave for those menstruating individuals who suffer from unbearable period symptoms. While providing menstrual leave seems a great idea, a lot of women think it would make them look weak and would ultimately affect their work opportunities.
Years of fighting against patriarchy and oppression would go in vain as the society barely understands the concept of feminism – which is to give equal rights and opportunities to biologically different sexes.
