Abstract

Governments use taxes to generate the revenue needed to provide basic facilities for society. However, taxpayers may evade tax liabilities or default, compelling tax authorities to resort to quasi-criminal litigation to recover taxes. Evidently, the process involved in prosecuting tax defaulters or recovering tax liabilities as provided for in the Personal Income Tax Act of Nigeria and as observed in a plethora of cases is often strenuous, cumbersome, and bureaucratic. Furthermore, the process is slow, and is unfriendly to taxpayers; hence, plea bargains are needed in prosecuting tax cases involving tax liabilities. In this study, online questionnaires were sent to 321 respondents (randomly selected) residing within the federal republic of Nigeria to ascertain the utility and favorability of using plea bargains to resolve liabilities. Descriptive and analytical statistics were used to analyze the collected data. The study found that plea bargains are viable prosecutorial tools for resolving tax offenses or recovering tax liabilities. Therefore, this study recommends using plea bargains owing to its speed in resolving tax offenses or recovering tax liabilities and its less bureaucratic and more amicable nature compared to quasi-criminal litigation.

Abstract

This study examines the criminal offense of accepting and giving bribes as one of the oldest manifestations of corruption, which continues to be a critical issue even today. Furthermore, at a time when public opinion and perception of corruption in Kosovo are considered significant, this study aims to reflect the presence of these two criminal acts, reveal the fact that one of these offenses dominates, reveal the profiles of those convicted, and determine what punishment policy has been applied by courts. In addition, this study attempts to demonstrate the significant defiance, irregularities, and uncertainties that accompany prosecuting and adjudicating those who commit these types of offenses. This study has theoretical and practical implications as it addresses issues that, in various ways, are not adequately addressed in Kosovo and may perhaps go beyond Kosovo.

Abstract

This research aims to determine if legal protection is available for the use of forests, which are the customary rights of Adat and Indigenous Community from the mineral mining sector, which demands the use of extremely large territories. Fulfillment the utilizes state-controlled forest land, including protected forests, and industrial forests could be challenges. By considering environmental sustainability, legal protection ensures sustainable growth. To legally maintain customary forest rights, this study employs normative-juridical research utilizing primary and secondary legal sources about the acquisition of land for the mining sector, particularly for mineral mining. Agrarian, forestry, mining, and environmental protection and preservation legislation and decisions of the Constitutional Court of Indonesia on mining are examples of authoritative primary legal texts. All legal publications—including books, dictionaries, journals, and comments on court judgments—are considered secondary legal sources. This study finds that the legal protection of Adat and Indigenous Community’s customary forest rights over the availability of land for mining firms must be profitable, prosperous, and fair for Adat and Indigenous Community members. Adat and Indigenous Community are community associations that live and grow happily together in a hereditary region based on ancestry and similarity of habitation. Forest use for this purpose requires a Borrowing and Use Permit, which must include criteria for periodic, quantitative, and transparent environmental management, and preservation.

Abstract

The search light for environmental rights in Nigeria has been focused on the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) with occasional references to case laws, which are limited and unprogressive on the subject. Most reviews of relevant legislations on the environment have been centered on themes such as environmental protection, environmental degradation, and damage arising from pollution. Apart from studies on whether the Constitution guarantees any right to clean environment, inquiries are hardly directed at the provisions of other statutes and policies on the environment on the extent to which they support environmental rights. This paper is a review of some salient legislations on environmental protection with a view to establish legislative authority for the right to clean and a healthy and sustainable environment in Nigeria. There exists a notable legislative platform on which one may insist on the right to clean environment in Nigeria notwithstanding the constitutional constraints on the enforcement of the duty of the Government to protect and improve the environment.

Abstract

It is impossible to overstate the value of effective fisheries sector management in a society like Nigeria. This will guarantee enough food at affordable prices and a source of social and economic advancement for the populace. Living ocean resources are in danger of becoming extinct due to the high harvesting rates. Over time, the legal measures enacted to safeguard the maritime environment and actions taken by the institutions tasked with upholding them have been shown to be insufficient and ineffectual. In this study, the management of fisheries and marine life resources and the difficulties it faces was evaluated using both primary and secondary sources of information. This was geared toward creating a framework that guarantees the sustainable conservation of marine living resources in Nigeria, particularly fisheries. According to the study, fisheries must be conserved if they are to remain productive for a very long time. It describes the opportunities and difficulties facing the Nigerian fishing regime and suggests ways to achieve long-term preservation of the fishery resources in the Nigerian marine environment.
