Criminal Justice laws- Overhauling Done

  The criminal Justice system has been comprehensively overhauled by enactment of three new legislations, namely the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (Act No. 45 of 2023), the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (Act No. 46 of 2023), and the Bhartiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (Act No. 47 of 2023). These three legislations have replaced colonial era codes namely the Indian Penal Code, 1860, the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 respectively.

It leaves us with two questions: The approach to the Sentinel island is fueled by the curious nature to discover and unearth the ‘other’ or is to better the ‘other’? In both the circumstances there is an inherent sense of abject superiority as a race which is quite similar to the attitudinal behaviors of the colonizers throughout history.

This is a gradual process and does not look oppressive in the beginning as it is ofte...

Climate Justice and International Solar Alliance

Climate change in the 21 st century is a matter of grave concern, not only for the developing nations but also for developed nations. The most visible signs of changing climate are the melting glaciers, higher frequency and intensity of hurricanes and cyclones as well as droughts in different parts of the world etc. Climate change doesn’t affect one nation. Rather, humanity as a whole is responsible for bringing it about as well as aggravating it with every passing moment. There is an irony to this entire situation- that is the developing countries are solely blamed for bringing about climate change. In reality, however it’s the developed countries that share a higher burden in the historical level of greenhouse gas production because of their unprecedented levels of economic activity that has made them stand at the highest pedestal of standard of living and per capital income. In the recent climate change negotiations, Common But Differentiated Responsibility (CBDR) , a princip...
