Abstract

This study explores the legal frameworks, enforcement challenges, and economic implications of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in BRICS countries—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—using a normative juridical approach and qualitative analysis. The findings reveal significant disparities in the governance of IPR among these nations, with China and India leading in innovation and enforcement reforms, while Brazil, Russia, and South Africa face persistent challenges related to institutional capacity and judicial delays. Despite progress in aligning with international standards such as TRIPS, enforcement gaps and socio-economic priorities influence the effectiveness of IPR systems. The study also highlights the dual economic impact of IPR: fostering innovation and investment while raising concerns over access to essential goods. This research underscores the need for harmonized frameworks, enhanced enforcement mechanisms, and a balanced approach to innovation and equity in BRICS countries.

Abstract

This study explores the legislative frameworks governing drug rehabilitation and the reintegration of former drug addicts into society through a normative juridical analysis. The research examines how laws and policies influence the recovery journey, highlighting critical gaps in anti-discrimination measures, public health integration, and societal reintegration mechanisms. Comparative case studies from countries with progressive approaches, such as Portugal and Norway, illustrate effective models for aligning legal systems with public health strategies. The findings emphasize the need for legislative reforms that promote inclusivity, support long-term recovery, and foster societal acceptance. Recommendations include expanding anti-discrimination protections, incorporating restorative justice mechanisms, and enhancing interagency collaboration to ensure holistic rehabilitation programs. This research contributes to the discourse on aligning law and social policy to address the multifaceted challenges of drug addiction and reintegration.

Abstract

This study examines the legal mechanisms for the social reintegration of drug addicts, focusing on rehabilitation as a transformative approach to enabling individuals to re-enter society as productive citizens. Using a normative juridical analysis, the research explores the alignment of national legal frameworks with international human rights standards and evaluates the challenges in implementing rehabilitation-focused policies. Findings reveal that while laws and policies supporting rehabilitation exist, their effectiveness is hindered by societal stigma, inconsistent application, and resource limitations. The study emphasizes the need for policy alignment with international standards, expansion of community-based programs, public awareness campaigns, and strengthened monitoring systems. These measures are essential for creating a supportive legal and social environment conducive to the successful reintegration of drug addicts into society.

Abstract

The research investigates law's role in promoting transformative justice through social engineering, focusing on rehabilitation and reintegration processes of drug addicts into society. This study applies a normative-juridical approach to evaluate Indonesia's legal frameworks for their effectiveness in handling addiction as a public health issue. Comparative analyses with international models, such as the decriminalization in Portugal and harm reduction policies in the Netherlands, show what a change of heart in legal philosophy might achieve. The findings put forward the majors lacuna in the present legislation: undue punitive, lack of supportive infrastructure, and stigma among society. Recommendations offered by the study go on to include legislative reform for rehabilitation, supportive infrastructure development, public-private partnership for effective reintegration. This paper advocates for a compassionate justice system that embeds transformative justice principles into legal frameworks, promoting societal productivity and inclusivity.
