Abstract

Nigeria continues to prioritise military intervention as the principal response to terrorism; however, persistent violence indicates that structural socio-economic inequalities, unemployment, and regional marginalisation sustain conditions conducive to radicalisation. In contrast, the United Kingdom integrates economic justice within its legal and policy framework, thereby complementing security measures with socio-economic regulation. This study analyses the role of economic justice as a lawful and sustainable counter-terrorism strategy through a comparative examination of the United Kingdom and Nigeria. This research aims to evaluate the legal basis for implementing economic justice measures in counterterrorism and to assess their relevance for long-term peacebuilding in Nigeria. The study employs a doctrinal research method, systematically examining legislation, public policy instruments, and scholarly works using the PRISMA framework to ensure transparent and rigorous source selection. The findings demonstrate that, first, the United Kingdom establishes a normative and institutional framework that links welfare regulation and social protection to the prevention of violent extremism; second, it enforces financial accountability and regulatory oversight to limit structural grievances and disrupt potential channels of radicalisation; and third, Nigeria maintains a predominantly securitised counter-terrorism regime that lacks enforceable economic rights and targeted development legislation. The study concludes that Nigeria should reform its legal framework by embedding inclusive economic governance, strengthening institutional accountability, and codifying socio-economic rights as integral components of a sustainable counter-terrorism strategy.

Abstract

The implementation of digital technologies in the healthcare system for children has a lesser but still noticeable effect on the health systems of Nigeria and Uganda. Digital tools such as electronic pediatric health records, tele-pediatric, m-health apps, and data-driven diagnostic platforms have been implemented. However, children's vulnerability in the digital healthcare domain has been significantly increased by the new technologies. The research scrutinizes the current insufficient and disorganised legal and ethical systems that control child digital healthcare in Nigeria and Uganda. The research employs a doctrine-based method, utilising the PRISMA Guide to systematically identify, screen, and analyse relevant laws, policies, and academic literature on children's rights. The results indicate that both countries have generic health and data protection laws that can be applied to digital health in general, but regulations and ethical standards (such as consent, data privacy, cybersecurity, parental authority, and professional liability) specific to children remain underdeveloped and poorly enforced, specifically in Nigeria. The study makes the case for child-friendly digital health legislation, clear consent standards, rigorous institutional oversight, and regional collaboration to ensure children's rights and welfare in digital healthcare systems.

Abstract

The notary public is a government official who bears a significant responsibility in the drafting and safekeeping of the original draft of an authentic deed. However, in practice, there are still notaries facing the loss or damage of such original drafts, which potentially undermines the integrity of legal evidence and the trust of the parties involved. This study employs a normative legal research method, utilizing an analytical approach with primary and secondary legal materials, focusing on statutory regulations. The research findings demonstrate that the Supervisory Council of Notaries carries a substantial responsibility in overseeing the issuance of replacement minutes to ensure that this process does not raise any legal uncertainties and continues to safeguard the document’s security. The comprehensive supervision by Supervisory Council of Notaries involves validating the authenticity of the copied document, assessing procedural propriety, issuing recommendations, and making administrative decisions. Furthermore, the status of the first copy used as a basis for issuing an authentic replacement minute holds an equivalent legal standing to the original minuta, contingent upon compliance with formal requirements stipulated in Article 1888 of the Civil Code (BW) and under stringent supervision by Supervisory Council of Notaries.

Abstract

In recent years, the advent of social media, mobile communication, and online news platforms has greatly changed the way public health information is produced, spread, and consumed. Besides this, the rise in Internet usage for health-related information has also made the public more susceptible to false or deceptive information, thereby giving rise to numerous problems, such as public health, trust in institutions, and the effectiveness of controlling diseases. The Ugandan government must implement digital solutions to combat public health misinformation because this task safeguards citizens' health rights and their right to receive accurate information, which helps maintain public safety. Consequently, the purpose of the study is to evaluate the state’s legal obligations to the extent that it can prevent, correct, and respond to misinformation on public health issues, as well as to examine the current legislative and regulatory framework governing digital governance and public health in light of this. Using a doctrinal research method based on the PRISMA framework, the study comprehensively studies both primary and secondary legal sources. The outcome indicates that, given the sophisticated nature of digital technology, the existing regulations are mainly reactive, dealing with punishment more often than prevention or correction of the misinformation. The study ends with the suggestion that the mechanism of regulatory enforcement should change from one that is mostly punitive to one that is preventive and corrective in nature. Among other things, it will mean requiring an active public health messaging, having real-time fact-checking systems, and having the official digital channels work together to correct misinformation.

Abstract

The development of the Islamic Banking System tends to provide an opportunity for Uganda to diversify its financial system embedded in Sharia principles. Furthermore, it suffices to state that the introduction of the Islamic banking system in Uganda is considered one of the forceful moves in attaining economic development, growth, and facilitating transactions. However, given the early stage of the Islamic banking institution in Uganda, there are legal and socio-economic issues that tend to pose challenges to the smooth operation of the Islamic Banking System. This is concerning the fact that absence of a specific regulatory framework, ambiguity or indistinctness in the current laws regulating Islamic banking, Inadequate banking infrastructure, and lack of public awareness, seem to threaten its viability, hence, the need to draw lessons from Indonesia’s well-established Islamic banking system. Hence, the study examines the legal and socio-economic issues concerning the Islamic banking system in Uganda with a view of learning from the Indonesian experience. In this regard, primary and secondary sources of material such as laws and academic literature were extensively reviewed. The data obtained were analysed through a descriptive and analytical approach. The study found that in Uganda there is no specific regulatory framework for the Islamic banking system, and the current laws on Islamic banking in Uganda are ambiguous and complex. Furthermore, the study also found that a lack of awareness of the Islamic bank's method of operation and inadequate infrastructure could affect its viability. However, in Indonesia, the Islamic Banking system has made great strides given its well-organized banking system over the years. The study further concludes and recommends proactive regulatory clarity and resolution of socio-economic challenges concerning the Islamic Banking System in Uganda learning from the Indonesia experience.

Abstract

The relationship between international law and international politics remains highly contested in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which is shaped by complex legal, political, and historical factors. This study examines how international legal frameworks are interpreted and implemented within broader geopolitical dynamics. Using a doctrinal legal research approach, the study analyzes primary legal sources, including international conventions, United Nations Security Council resolutions, advisory opinions of the International Court of Justice, and proceedings of the International Criminal Court, supported by academic literature and policy documents. The analysis focuses on the application of legal principles related to occupation, self-determination, accountability, and dispute resolution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The findings demonstrate that the enforcement of international law is significantly constrained by geopolitical interests, resulting in selective application and weakening claims of legal neutrality and universality. The study also finds that the effectiveness of international legal mechanisms depends not only on legal norms, but also on institutional impartiality and political commitment to accountability. These findings highlight the need for reforms that reduce politicization and strengthen the credibility of international legal enforcement in resolving global conflicts.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has overwhelmed healthcare providers all over the world. Nigeria has also had its fair share of the health crisis caused by COVID-19. Despite the apparent shortcomings of public healthcare in combating the COVID-19 pandemic, the participation of private healthcare providers in caring for COVID-19 patients in Nigeria has been limited by legal and regulatory constraints. This study employs a hybrid research method. The study found insufficient medical facilities and care for COVID-19 patients in government-owned isolation centers. It was concluded and recommended that there is a need to whittle down the laws and regulations limiting private health providers from caring for COVID-19 patients. Furthermore, there is a need to set some ethics and guidelines for private healthcare providers who intend to care for COVID-19 patients.

Abstract

Technological advancement has greatly enhanced the global environment, it has improved every facet of the global industry. Currently in Nigeria, the Legal Profession has taken a bold dive by incorporating the use of technology in enhancing the practice of law. However, the current innovation of robotic lawyers in most countries may seem to be consistent with their legal systems. In this regard, it suffices to opine that given the fact that Nigeria is a developing country, there are legal and socio-economic issues that may affect or truncate the adoption of a robotic lawyer in Nigeria. It is in this regard that this study adopted a hybrid method of research in ascertaining the relevance of robotic lawyers, and the legal and socio-economic issues. Questionnaires were distributed to 305 respondent residents in Nigeria. The study found that the current trend of robotic lawyers is quite impressive, however, the nomenclature of law concerning the study and practice of Law in Nigeria does not recognize a robotic lawyer. Furthermore, some socio-economic issues such as internet fraudster, unemployment, insecurity, and poor maintenance culture may pose a challenge to the adoption of a robotic lawyer in Nigeria. In this regard, it was therefore concluded and recommended that for a smooth adoption of robotic lawyers in Nigeria, there is a need for legal approval and streamlining their roles to mere advisory to a client, training of Nigerian lawyers and judges to enhance the legal profession.

Abstract

Plastic, a versatile material derived from synthetic compounds, is widely employed globally due to its durability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of production. However, its improper disposal poses significant environmental threats. Despite concerted efforts, the indiscriminate dumping of plastic waste persists in the country's land and water environments. This study aims to comprehensively explore the legal guidelines and socio-economic initiatives relevant to plastic waste regulation, drawing inspiration from Singapore's successful model. Three hundred and ten questionnaires were also distributed among residents of Nigeria to achieve this objective. The data collected underwent thorough analysis, employing both descriptive and analytical methods. In this context, Singapore stands out as an exemplary model for Nigeria to emulate in addressing the challenges posed by plastic waste. Drawing inspiration from Singapore's successful strategies, It is imperative to meticulously regulate every stage, from production to disposal, to ensure environmental sustainability and minimize the detrimental impact of plastic pollution. The study found the need for more legislative measures in Nigeria to combat the pervasive problem of indiscriminate plastic waste disposal effectively. Also, The government should establish irresponsible plastic waste disposal's environmental and health risks and dumping of plastic waste.
