Dilshodbek Toshpoʻlatov — 2024-11-08

This paper reviews the role and importance of international organisations in protecting international labour migrants' rights. Millions of people are crossing borders to seek employment, and the protection of their rights is essentially related to their fair treatment, social security, and access to justice in a foreign country. Key organisations, such as the International Labour Organization and the United Nations, have developed conventions, policies, and frameworks that would guide labor migrants for workplace conditions, social protection, legal assistance, and family reunification. This article examines the shifting landscape of labor migrant rights using international conventions and organizational activities, along with the problems involved in creating and implementing such protection for them across the world. Current works to adapt international standards to the heterogeneous requirements of labor migrants and reviews future strategies that will enhance these protections at a global level, are also given due consideration.

Duane Miller — 2024-11-01

This study explores the evolving beliefs surrounding crime and punishment in American society, examining how cultural, social, and political factors have shaped public perceptions over time. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research analyzes historical data, public opinion surveys, and qualitative interviews with experts in criminal justice, sociology, and psychology. The findings indicate a significant shift from traditional retributive approaches to more rehabilitative and restorative justice models, particularly in response to increasing awareness of systemic inequalities, mass incarceration, and the effectiveness of punitive measures. Participants noted that changing societal attitudes, influenced by grassroots movements and heightened media coverage of crime and justice issues, have played a crucial role in redefining concepts of accountability and justice. The study concludes that understanding these shifts is essential for developing effective criminal justice policies that address contemporary challenges and promote a more equitable system.

RESOLVING TRADE DISPUTES IN A GLOBALIZED WORLD: THE EFFICACY AND CHALLENGES OF THE WTO DISPUTE SETTLEMENT MECHANISM

Kosimova Gulnoza Odilovna — 2024-11-16

The World Trade Organization (WTO) stands at the heart of global trade governance, providing a framework for the liberalization and regulation of international trade. Central to its mandate is the Dispute Settlement Mechanism (DSM), which ensures that trade rules are respected and disputes are resolved in a structured, legal manner. This mechanism, often described as the "crown jewel" of the WTO, underpins the organization's credibility and facilitates a rules-based trading system. Yet, as international trade becomes increasingly complex, the WTO DSM faces significant challenges, necessitating a comprehensive reevaluation of its operations, relevance, and adaptability.

Bobir Turdiev — 2024-11-14

This article examines the evolving lawmaking practices in Uzbekistan, focusing on actors, processes, and reforms that shape normative legal acts. Since 2016, reforms have significantly increased legislative output, but rapid lawmaking has brought challenges, including transparency issues and procedural inconsistencies. Analyzing data from the National Database of Legislation (LexUz) and assessing recent reforms, this study explores Uzbekistan’s legislative framework, institutional roles, and public participation mechanisms. Key findings highlight the need for stricter adherence to procedural standards, enhanced transparency, and broader public engagement to address regulatory challenges and strengthen governance. Recommendations are made for promoting evidence-based policymaking, improving interagency cooperation, and enhancing accountability measures. These improvements are crucial for achieving an effective, transparent, and accountable lawmaking process aligned with democratic principles.
