Abstract

The testimony of the witness is regarded as the primary evidence by the court when convicting someone under criminal law. Consequently, the accused makes the witness their major target in an effort to disrupt a fair trial, which makes the witness uninterested in supporting the allegation. However, Bangladesh does not currently have a law specifically addressing witness protection, while the need for such a law is growing, and the concerned parties and the court are urging the government to do so. This paper aims to show that the witness protection statute significantly influences the reduction of criminal case backlogs. To investigate the aforementioned argument, the writers have considered the witness protection law and the backlog in criminal cases. Besides, this research emphasizes the necessity for effective witness protection measures by drafting thorough criminal legislation in Bangladesh. The authors applied the quantitative approach using a systematic questionnaire to conduct a survey of 271 respondents, who were chosen by the researchers to comprehensively understand the necessity for witness protection laws and how they relate to the backlog of criminal cases to substantiate the paper's argument. Witness testimony is important evidence, yet the law of our country makes no separate anticipation of witness protection. Occasionally, witnesses are threatened, which makes them unwilling to testify honestly and obstructs the delivery of impartial justice. Besides, witnesses decide not to testify because they fear being marked out in the future. Consequently, every day that the case is unresolved adds to the backlog at the court. Only when separate laws were to be created for the witnesses would it benefit the witnesses and reduce backlogs.

Abstract

The spread of the COVID-19 virus has become a major international health crisis. Most governments worldwide have had to impose severe restrictions on their citizens' freedoms due to the outbreak to contain the disease. After the vaccine for COVID-19 became available, many countries, including Indonesia, implemented mandatory COVID-19 vaccination. This policy is very controversial to be debated, especially regarding human rights violations (the right to freedom of choice). Therefore, this normative juridical study investigates the state's responsibility in fulfilling citizens' health rights through mandatory COVID-19 vaccination in the human rights aspect. According to the study's findings, for the sake of achieving public health safety and security as well as the fulfillment of public health rights, on that basis, the state is allowed to enforce mandatory COVID-19 vaccination. Nevertheless, the state should continue to apply it humanely that does not violate human rights by ensuring freedom from torture, cruelty, inhumanity, or any other medically degrading dignity, including freedom from medical experiments and research and forced sterilization not having informed consent. On the other hand, the state is also responsible for providing health goods and facilities without discrimination against race. Non-discrimination is essential to realize the high degree of health to be achieved. There must be accessibility, acceptability, and high quality in all products, services, and infrastructure. Lastly, the state may regulate immunizations to be administered selectively to provide maximum benefit to those most at risk.

Abstract

In terms of legal and criminal law and criminology, damage to the tax system is one of the most important threats. In addition, the tax system faces more severe litigation challenges due to unprecedented and oppressive sanctions against Iran and the outbreak of COVID-19 and its devastating economic consequences. This study investigates the weaknesses, strengths, opportunities, and challenges of the tax proceedings system in Iran in an analytical-descriptive method. The pathology of an efficient tax proceedings system in Iran can help reduce the number of cases in the courts, collect useful information from the Iranian National Tax Administration (INTA) about the taxpayers' economic activities, increase taxpayers' satisfaction, and so on. The study finds that tax authorities should (1) enact the law on the types of taxes and rates, (2) delineate the legal and regulatory structure, (3) provide free or low-cost accounting services, (4) decree penalties for violators, (5) intensify inspections, (6) augment control programs to record the taxpayers’ records properly, (7) accurately and timely fill out income tax returns, and (8)Tax authorities should be informed of companies and individuals who declare their profits suspiciously and take the necessary measures. Moreover, our findings show that tax officials' professional and intimate behavior with taxpayers could effectively inform the guidelines, prepare profit and loss statements, and achieve taxable profit.

Abstract

The flow of information technology development cannot be contained. Migration from the era of citizens to netizens is an impossible thing to avoid. This study aims to examine the relationship between the development of information technology in the digital era, especially on social media, and the Human Rights perspective. This research uses normative legal research methods to find ideal formulations and boundaries for netizens to become polite people interacting on social media. The results of this study show that Indonesian's right to an opinion on social media is a constitutional right that has been regulated in the 1945 NRI Constitution and the UDHR. However, freedom of speech does not mean that there are no limits. The limitations of freedom of speech on social media are through the limitations of norms, especially norms of politeness and decency, whose values are universal.
