Abstract

Several complex legal and institutional issues beset preserving women’s rights in Cameroon. Women’s rights refer to a wide range of ideals and entitlements intended to guarantee gender equality and encourage women’s full involvement and empowerment in all spheres of society. These rights include freedom from violence, equality, education, health, and body autonomy, among other things. However, even with the modern conception and advancement of today's society, women continue to be treated inhumanely, uncaringly, and pitilessly, thereby affecting their status and rights acquired in today´s society, with the numerous legal instruments wavering from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women, the Maputo Protocol, the African Charter on the Welfare of the Child, and hosts of other condemning the illegal practices experienced by women on the international scene. The increase in violations continues to be rampant. With all the praiseworthy struggles instigated and affected by these instruments, the degree of violation of women's rights is increasing and increasing in Cameroon. Women continue to experience violations of their rights, especially those related to Female Genital Mutilation, Sexual Abuse, Rape, widow practices, and many other harmful practices. The query one would be posing here is in searching why Cameroon is considered a State of Law, devouring great efforts in certifying that women anguishing from the effect of violence should be protected, continue to experience an increase in cases of women's rights violations. In this vane, it will be sufficient for us to assess the various legal and institutional dispositions put in place by the State of Cameroon in handling cases of violence done against women. It is surprising that with all the laws initiated by the State of Cameroon from the Constitution, the Penal Code, the Labour Code, the Civil Status Registration Ordinance, and the Civil Code enacted to deal with cases of violence done on Women, there exists no concrete and concise law handling matters of violence against women. The situation of child marriage, Female Genital Mutilation, Breast Ironing, Widow Practices, and Property Discrimination continue to be a nightmare and a pandemic to eradicate in the country, irrespective of the efforts introduced by competent authorities. There is a need to redress the situation for a better protective climate for women and their societal statuses.

Abstract

This research addresses the fight against corruption under martial law in Ukraine, a relevant phenomenon as corruption poses a significant threat to national stability and democracy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of anti-corruption legislation and infrastructure in the context of martial law. Using an analytical and dogmatic approach, the research combines legal analysis, secondary data, and semi-structured interviews with legal experts and civil society representatives, and the implementation of anti-corruption policies. The results show that while adequate anti-corruption laws and strategies exist, their implementation is hampered by weak inter-agency coordination, non-transparency, and lack of independent oversight. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of updating anti-corruption strategies and strengthening collaboration between state institutions and civil society to comprehensively address corruption. This study recommends updating anti-corruption strategies through the application of technology such as OSINT (Open Source Intelligence), stricter law enforcement, and strengthening collaboration between state institutions and civil society. Public education to build an anti-corruption culture is also identified as a strategic step.

Abstract

Presidential involvement in electoral contests in Indonesia has increasingly raised concerns regarding the neutrality and integrity of democratic processes. Instances such as the politicization of social assistance programs, the strategic appointment of acting governors, and the active participation of ministers in campaign activities have highlighted the pervasive use of state resources for partisan interests. This study examines the permissibility of presidential political partiality in electoral contests from legal and ethical perspectives. Employing a normative legal research method with a statute and analytical approach, the study analyzes primary legal sources, including the 1945 Constitution and relevant electoral regulations, as well as secondary scholarly materials. The findings reveal that presidential partisanship is legally and ethically unjustifiable. Legally, procedural mechanisms, such as the requirement for mandatory leave during campaign activities, fail to guarantee factual neutrality and enable covert partisanship. A systematic and teleological interpretation of Article 299 paragraph (1) of the Election Law demonstrates that the right to campaign applies exclusively to presidents running as candidates, not to incumbents who are not contesting. Ethically, presidential partiality violates principles of impartiality and moral legitimacy, undermining the president’s role as a unifying symbol of national integrity. The study emphasizes the urgent need for regulatory reforms and ethical standards to reinforce fairness and uphold public trust in Indonesia’s electoral process.

Abstract

There is no instance in a given society that can successfully operate and function without respecting existing standards and principles set in place in ensuring the respect of fundamental human rights and dignity. Cameroon and Ukraine have engaged huge steps in establishing credible laws, all in the preservation and protection of the fundamental human right of those presumed of the crime commission. This article establishes that the only way the rule of law can be respected during the investigative stage, will only when those responsible for investigation respects the due process of the law in the course of its investigation so that them act should not contravene the right of the suspect or accused in question. It provides that when issues of investigation are carried out by Ukraine and Cameroon police, gross violations of the criminal process are always experienced, and this greatly affects the objective of criminal law is that of protecting the right and dignity of everyone irrespective of the status quo acquired during the criminal proceedings. The results of this gross violation of the accused rights and status during the investigative stage will affect the rationale and objective of the criminal law system which is to ensure that all criminal processes should respect human standards and dignity. The reason for this is that, during the investigative process and procedure, the law enforcement officers must be able in detaching their various duties assigned with due diligence and respect to the various criminal standards of investigation. To ensure that this is done, there is that need of those enforcing the judicial process and trial should that all evidence, searches, seizures, recording done by the investigative police officials should be done in accordance of the free will of the presumed criminal.Keywords: investigative police, pretrial proceedings, observation, rule of lawInvestigasi dan Rule of Law: Pemahaman Hukum Acara Pidana Kamerun dan Ukraina AbstrakTidak ada contoh dalam masyarakat tertentu yang dapat berhasil beroperasi dan berfungsi tanpa menghormati standar dan prinsip yang ada yang ditetapkan dalam memastikan penghormatan terhadap hak asasi manusia dan martabat yang mendasar. Kamerun dan Ukraina telah melakukan langkah-langkah besar dalam menetapkan undang-undang yang kredibel, semuanya dalam pelestarian dan perlindungan hak asasi manusia yang dianggap sebagai komisi kejahatan. Pasal ini menetapkan bahwa satu-satunya cara penegakan hukum dapat dihormati selama tahap penyidikan, hanya jika mereka yang bertanggung jawab atas penyidikan menghormati proses hukum dalam proses penyidikannya sehingga tindakan mereka tidak boleh bertentangan dengan hak penyidik atau tersangka yang bersangkutan. Hal ini mengatur bahwa ketika masalah investigasi dilakukan oleh polisi Ukraina dan Kamerun, pelanggaran berat proses kriminal selalu dialami, dan ini sangat mempengaruhi tujuan hukum pidana adalah melindungi hak dan martabat setiap orang terlepas dari status quo diperoleh selama proses pidana. Akibat dari pelanggaran berat terhadap hak dan status terdakwa selama tahap penyidikan akan mempengaruhi dasar pemikiran dan tujuan dari sistem hukum pidana yaitu untuk menjamin bahwa semua proses pidana harus menghormati standar dan martabat manusia. Pasalnya, selama proses dan prosedur penyidikan, aparat penegak hukum harus mampu melepaskan berbagai tugas yang diberikan dengan kehati-hatian dan menghormati berbagai standar pidana penyidikan. Untuk menjamin hal itu dilakukan, maka perlu bagi para penegak proses peradilan dan persidangan bahwa semua barang bukti, penggeledahan, penyitaan, pencatatan yang dilakukan oleh penyidik polisi harus dilakukan sesuai dengan kehendak bebas dari tersangka pidana.Kata Kunci: Penyidik Kepolisian; Proses Praperadilan; Pengawasan; Supremasi Hukum Розслідування та верховенство права: розуміння камерунського та українського кримінального процесуАнотаціяУ суспільстві не існує жодного прикладу, який міг би успішно оперувати і функціонувати без дотримання існуючих стандартів і принципів, встановлених для забезпечення поваги основних прав і гідності людини. Камерун та Україна зробили величезні кроки у створенні надійних законів щодо збереження та захисту основних прав людини, в тому числі для осіб, які скоїли злочин. Встановлено, що єдиним способом дотримання верховенства права на стадії розслідування є належне додержання особою, яка здійснює розслідування, процесуального права. Однак, як свідчать практичні реалії, під час розслідувань спостерігаються порушення поліцією процесуального закону, що значною мірою впливає на мету кримінального процесу, яка полягає в захисті права та гідності кожного, незалежно від статус-кво, отриманого під час кримінального провадження. Результати грубого порушення прав на стадії розслідування також можуть впливати на логіку та завдання кримінального процесу, яка полягає в тому, щоб усі системи кримінального судочинства поважали людські стандарти та гідність. Причина цього полягає в тому, що під час кримінального процесу працівники правоохоронних органів повинні мати можливість відокремити свої різні обов’язки, покладені на них, з належною ретельністю та дотриманням різних кримінальних стандартів розслідування. Для забезпечення цього необхідно, щоб особи, які забезпечують виконання судового процесу та судового розгляду, усі докази, обшуки, виїмки, записи, зроблені працівниками поліції, досліджвали незалажно від волевиявлення підозрюваного, обвинуваченого.Ключові слова: слідча поліція, досудове провадження, спостереження, верховенство права.

Abstract

Women continue to be victims of violence and the violation of their human rights keep being in the increase as they experienced constant hatred on their status. This article analyzes liability for crimes against women under criminal legislations of the Republic of Uzbekistan and Cameroon by assessing the Criminal Codes rules in both countries in terms of identifying its distinctive features of legal regulation conditional to gender and family differences of subjects is provided. Expert study of criminal legislations related to crimes against women plays a facilitating role in identifying not only real scope of criminal law rules, but also determining if there is a gap in law, or legal regulation is insufficiently socially conditioned. Moreover, analysis of genesis of criminal standards on responsibility for crimes against women made it possible to trace changes in law in relation to such objects of criminal law protection as, for example, life, health, sexual freedom and sexual immunity, honor and dignity of woman, interests of family and its members.
