Abstract

A host state has faced sovereignty issues and challenges in adopting and applying a legal framework for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) governed by International Investment Law (IIL). IIL provides certain protection to FDI in a host country. The protections have been considered standard in the liberation of the FDI, which could positively impact the FDI attraction into countries. However, the host state's ability to regulate the public interests for a common concern of the peoples, such as social, economic, environmental, and human rights achievement, is indeterminate in IIL, and it became mostly a challenge for the host states. These needs are increasingly being requested by the population from governments. This study looks at how the state’s sovereignty power can be met in the adoption and application of laws and policies for the public's interest and assessment methods which are mostly used by the court in foreign investment disputes. An empirical analysis of the legal issue based on available literature is made. The findings of this study show that the necessity to understand the fears for sovereignty underpins the debate on its legitimacy in investment arbitration. The established sovereignty of state laws is shown in FDI and the desired areas of public interest regularisation. The international arbitral tribunals may reveal the right to balance between private and public interests in applying the national laws, which significantly show unclear and or open-textured international investment agreements (IIAs) provisions. The public interests are mostly applied to national laws over international law.

Abstract

A country's economic growth rate is the percentage change in the value of all goods and services produced during a certain period compared to the previous period. Since the Covid-19 pandemic was announced and hurting all businesses, several companies have depended on foreign direct investment (FDI) investment. Hence, this study aims to pinpoint new trends that Malaysian legal investment decision makers should follow to prepare for FDI attractiveness post-Covid-19. This study applies empirical theoretical methods with a qualitative approach to the relationship between state governments and foreign direct investors. The results of the analysis show that many countries that offer FDI face economic deficits and are more willing to develop themselves than others. It was agreed that FDI had a positive impact on Malaysia's economic growth and this growth was faced with shortcuts due to the negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, Malaysia has long-standing political problems which have impacted the country's FDI attractiveness. His contribution is to help these components adopt laws and regulations that are good for the future as the country has been dramatically impacted economically.

Abstract

The human community has always been characterized by conflict, governed by ethical and legal standards that have evolved with human civilization. This widely accepted standard was eventually defined as contemporary International Humanitarian Law (IHL). This study aims to analyze from two legal perspectives: Islamic and international humanitarian law. The method used in this research is comparative, including qualitative analysis. The results of this study suggest that regulation has developed mainly due to modern European activities, diminishing the potential contributions of other cultural and ethical traditions to its development and codification. However, it should be noted that the principles jus ad bellum (laws governing the use of force) and jus in Bello (the content of the laws of war) are evident in Islamic literature centuries before modern international law was codified, with little attention paid to them. This paper argues that Islamic humanitarian law, which regulates the treatment of prisoners of war, is comprehensive and comparable to the provisions of the 1949 Geneva Convention. In addition, the concept of Siyar's Islamic literature is very similar to the Geneva Conventions. This research augments international relations by examining the degree of concordance between the requirements of Islamic Humanitarian Law and Modern IHL concerning issues of immediate practical relevance in an era when several regions of the world are experiencing armed conflict.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal provisions on marital violence with a focus on the implementation of the Law on the Protection of Women and Children. The problem analysis highlights the shortcomings in the implementation of the law that result in a lack of protection for victims of domestic violence. In addition, the challenges in law enforcement against perpetrators of marital violence are also discussed.

The analysis results show that although there is already a law that regulates the protection of women and children, namely the PPA Law. In the implementation of the PPA Law, there are efforts made to protect women and children from marital violence. These steps include case identification, handling reports, investigation processes, prosecution of perpetrators of violence, and protection and rehabilitation for victims. Further efforts are needed to strengthen law enforcement and increase public awareness of the rights of women and children in the context of marriage.
