Afghanistan’s WTO Membership: Paving Passage to Global Trade
Статья
Purpose: This study examines the transformative impact of Afghanistan’s membership in the World Trade Organization (WTO) and explores how the country can leverage this membership to enhance its economy. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study is exploratory and descriptive in nature. The data for the study has been drawn from secondary sources such as government policy documents, published reports, and research studies and publications. Findings: The findings highlight that WTO accession has the potential to significantly transform Afghanistan’s access to global markets and create job opportunities. However, the country faces challenges such as the ban on women, governance issues, fiscal limitations, and energy sector challenges that could impede its progress. Afghanistan aims to use its WTO membership to foster economic growth by maintaining low trade barriers, promoting private-sector production, and leveraging strategic trade routes. Research Limitations: The main limitation of the study is that the study is limited to an extensive review. Managerial Implications: The study underscores the transformative potential of WTO membership for Afghanistan’s economy while considering the challenges and opportunities ahead for Afghanistan’s government. Originality/Value: This study maintains its originality, making it valuable. It has not been published in any journals or book chapters.

The Genealogies of complicity and the Afghanistan and Pakistan struggle date back to an 1893 single-page Agreement (Duran line) and the invasion by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in 1979. The squabble of the World towards Pakistan with its inglorious policy to deport undocumented 1.7 million refugees to a war-stricken country is inhuman and treats them as political pawns. The Mass Exodus of Afghan Refugees and the anti-immigrant policy of Pakistan trigger some legal questions: Why is Pakistan deporting Afghans at this point? Who hears the voice of suffering at the dark noon? What happens next to these deportees? The existing article is poignant in examining the status of human rightslessness of sans-papiers under the human rights paradigm in Pakistan. In tandem with this, the paper also examines the human rights dimension from the lens of the perplexing situation that prevails in Afghanistan. This article is percolated by axiomatic development in the theory and practice of human rights supplanted by wretched migrants. Thus, this paper offers a series of thoughts concerning ways of understanding the changing human rights paradigms in Afghans.

Mapping the Paradigm of Disabilities in Afghanistan from the Lens of Law and Policy
Статья
Disability is a cross-cutting issue in Afghanistan. After four decades of armed conflict, it is unknown how many Afghans are disabled, and accurate data are scarce. Afghanistan has over a million people with disabilities, and their situation is generally poor. While war and landmines rendered hundreds of thousands of Afghans crippled, many more suffered birth defects, accidents, hunger, and diseases that could have been avoided but the inner lives of those with impairments do not concern most the others in an armed conflict state. The interactions with people who have disabilities have been a brief “Salam Alaikum” (Hello) and a respectful “Tashakor” or “Manana” (Thank you). However, many people with disabilities experience stigma, prejudice, and exclusion from society. Still, neither the government nor the international non-governmental organisation has disclosed the statistical information and challenges that differently-abled persons face in Afghanistan it could be male or female. This article looks closely at the legal system in Afghanistan that protects the people with disabilities that they need to engage in public life on an equal footing with other people. The current study uses a doctrinal approach with an emancipatory perspective on impairments to suggest possible solutions to alleviate and improve their situations. The study is limited to drawing the attention of NGOs and policymakers to mid the condition of people with disability from the breath and the length of Afghanistan. In this article, the study has focused mainly on the legislative framework and the issues that smoke screens the overreach of the law for the protection of disabilities and prohibit discrimination in public life, also exposing obstacles that impediment people who are physically or mentally challenged.

PAKISTAN AND AFGHANISTAN TUSSLE OVER DURAND LINE
Статья
The Durand Line (DL), which separates Pakistan from Afghanistan, is home to the Pashtuns on both sides of the border. Afghanistan has continuously rejected the Durand Line and upheld the right to self-determination for Pashtuns included within Pakistan by that line since 1947. Pakistan denies this claim, upholding the legality of the Durand Line, and considers the Afghan claim illegal under international law. Although it has been the official border between the two countries for more than a century, the Durand Line has been controversial for the local people. Pakistan has been pursuing an ambiguous policy towards Afghanistan and the international community for a long time. This article examines the implication of the Durand Line, and highlights the strategies of both Pakistan and Afghanistan. The present study employs doctrinal research and is limited to the positions of Afghanistan and Pakistan over the Durand Line.

THE FOURTH WORLD TUSSLE FOR RECOGNITION OF RIGHTS UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW: A CURSORY GLANCE
Статья
This article examines the recognition of the Fourth World under International Law (FWIL). It is especially appropriate to talk about the role of international law from the context of the Indigenous peoples, where the fourth world literature has strongly expressed ideas like the Fourth World and Indian Reality by George Manuel and Michael Poslums in 1974. The study offers a new perspective on to struggle for freedom. It explores the contour of the social and political path for recognising indigenous rights for political sovereignty and Independence under International Law. This article outlines the nexus between Fourth-World populations and Third-World nations' experiences, expectations, and legal strategies. Since this piece does not describe a semantic and etymological evolution, the study relies on the literature that has already been written about the Third World. The study ponders a question what are the justifications nations might have for refusing to uphold indigenous people's rights within their borders? How can countries collaborate more effectively to support indigenous people in these circumstances? The study employs a doctrinal method with a normative approach and relies on third-world primary and secondary literature.

War crimes are identified with violations of the law of war at the time of armed conflict. It is an extensive concept and if any harm is caused to mankind during peacetime, it is regarded as a war crime. Any kind of infringement of human rights falls under war crimes. The suffering of Afghans was ignored by the world for a couple of decades but what is not acceptable is that Afghanistan’s government is doing the same. Afghanistan does not have any substantial law on genocide. War crimes in Afghanistan include acts such as abuse of civilians or prisoners of war. It is important to deal with the problem of genocide and related violence. Hence, war crimes in Afghanistan are violations of international humanitarian laws incurring individual criminal responsibility and must be adequately investigated.

WRITING AN EFFECTIVE LEGAL RESEARCH PROPOSAL: STANDARD SYNOPSIS FORMAT FOR SOCIO-LEGAL RESEARCH
Статья
A research synopsis serves as a concise outline of a researcher r thesis or research project, providing an overview of the research problems, objectives, methodology, and data collection methods. It is an essential step in the process of writing a thesis, research article, or abstract, as it helps a researcher clarify a researcher r research direction and identify any gaps or overlooked factors. Developing a synopsis in consultation with a researcher r guide or subject expert is crucial. By using clear and unambiguous language, a well-prepared synopsis maintains focus, reduces the tediousness of research work, and ensures comprehensive coverage of relevant aspects. The specific format for writing a synopsis may vary between research centers or disciplines, and it is important to adhere to the guidelines provided by a researcher r Institute and Ph.D. regulations. The complete synopsis typically ranges from 3000 to 4500 words, excluding appendices.
