Abstract

Cloud Seeding is a recent scientific discovery on weather modification and alteration that aims to enhance rainfall in addressing drought and climate change issues. However, despite this potent discovery there are several legal issues yet to be addressed in the usage of cloud seeding. Hence, the study examines the legal issue arising from cloud seeding. The study adopts a doctrinal method of study, relying on primary and secondary research material, such as laws, journal articles, internet articles, and other relevant research material. The data obtained were analyzed using a descriptive and analytical method. The study found that cloud seeding is a potential means of curtailing the incidence of drought and desertification caused by climate change arising from harmful industrial and human activities. However, the study also found that several legal issues may arise in utilising cloud seeding, which includes a lack of comprehensive international law regulating cloud Seeding, the inability of the existing laws to address transboundary issues, liability, impose due compliance and sanction of wrong utilising cloud seeding that adversely alter the natural state of the environment. Concerning this the study concludes and recommends that there is a need for a unified global legal framework to ensure the responsible use of cloud seeding and effective regulation.

Abstract

The practice of surrogacy in Uganda has several legal issues and implications. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the legal issues and implications related to surrogacy in Uganda and make comparisons with the United Kingdom. In this case, the study was conducted using a doctrinal research method, relying on primary and secondary research materials. This study found the following: legislation on surrogacy is still being developed by the Ugandan government, and existing laws do not directly regulate surrogacy, which essentially creates legal loopholes and legal vacuums. In addition, this study found that UK law appears to adequately address issues related to surrogacy. This study concludes and recommends that the Ugandan government needs to accelerate the enactment of legislation on surrogacy to address relevant issues in the future, such as the commodification of women's bodies, parental rights, the best interests of the child, and so on.

Abstract

It suffices to state that women are key stakeholders in meaningful development and sustainable growth. Concerning this, in education, women possess the capacity and potential to conduct scholarship research, teach, inspire, and mentor students. However, certain factors limit women’s academic rights in Nigeria, Uganda, and Indonesia, thereby negatively affecting scholarship and research. Hence, the study adopts a doctrinal approach, and the data obtained were analysed using descriptive and analytical methods. The study found that women in Nigeria, Uganda, and Indonesia play crucial roles in sustainable education through research, scholarly teaching, nurturing, and mentoring. The study further found that several factors often limit women’s rights to quality education and research scholarship. Some of these factors include limited resources, an ineffective legal framework in championing the cause of women, most especially in Nigeria, cultural and social norms that tend to subject women to domestic housework, and a lack of an academic institutional support system. The study therefore concludes and recommends that to curtail these challenges, women’s rights to academic freedom in Nigeria, Uganda, and Indonesia. There is a need to reform tertiary institutional policies to support women's academic career development. Provide sufficient funding for women in academic, training, and mentorship programs. This study aims to address significant legal and systemic barriers to women's participation in academia in Nigeria, Uganda, and Indonesia. The contribution of this study is a regulatory model designed to promote the fulfilment of women's rights in research and scholarship.
