Authors: Singh Janmejay , Mishra Taru
Published: February 2025

The article Exploring Investigative Processes: A Comparative Study of Legal Limitations in India and International Contexts, looks at how law enforcement responds to major crimes, focusing on the legal powers, obstacles, and innovations in technology that impact these investigations. It highlights issues related to witness intimidation and procedural delays, seeking for transparency using openness procedures such as face cameras. This research highlights the need for carrying out comprehensive and unbiased investigations—including evidence collection, witness interviews, and forensic analysis—to avoid convictions of justice. The article, which explores the responsibilities of law enforcement, forensic experts, and the judiciary, as well as establishing advancements in technology and data privacy, advocates for increased transparency and efficiency in order to maintain public trust in the judicial system. The criminal justice system's cornerstone is the investigative process, which determines how court cases progress. Investigations are used to determine facts, collect evidence, and provide the groundwork for judicial and prosecution measures. However, legal restrictions frequently make investigation procedures less effective. This article focuses at these restrictions in the Indian context and compares them to global standards in order to find areas that might use modification.

HISTORICAL AND LEGAL ANALYSIS OF THE JUST WAR IN THE DISCOURSE OF THE EARLY WESTERN EUROPEAN MIDDLE AGES
Authors: Shiposha Artem
Published: February 2025

The purpose of this article is the conceptual systematization of the key features of the just war phenomenon in the political and legal discourse of the Western European Early Middle Ages. The author showed that during the early Middle Ages in the West, the development of the concept of just war took place gradually under the dominant influence of Christian orthodoxy, which largely eliminated early Christian concepts of pacifism and adapted ideas about the legality and justification of war as a form of violence limited by law and religion. It was found that the foundation of early medieval ideas about a just war was primarily an ethical assessment of violence. The Christian Church, based on the teachings of Augustine, took the initiative in determining the role of war in society and tried to regulate it or at least minimize its excesses, directing military actions in a more or less socially acceptable direction (the fight against non-believers, heretics, apostates, enemies of the church, etc.). In the course of the development of the early medieval political and legal discourse, certain signs of a just war were elaborated: 1) waging war by a Christian ruler in the name of protecting the state and faith: in a just war, preference is given to defensive (protective) goals; 2) waging war for the Christianization of neighboring (as a rule) barbarian peoples, their conversion to the bosom of Christian civilization; 3) a war that has a just cause (protection of land, rights, subjects, etc.); 4) a war, including an internal one, conducted under divine sanction (justice is usually on the side of the winner); 5) a war in which the participation of the clergy as combatants is excluded, while its interests, as well as the interests of the church, are protected in priority order; 6) the war is waged with the aim of establishing lasting peace, without the threat of complete destruction of the enemy, the escalation of violence is denied; 7) a war waged by a proper subject of law (as a rule, a state), which represents a state, against another state, which excludes internal wars as wars waged by improper subjects (denial of civil strife within the country).

INTERNATIONAL LAW’S INFLUENCE ON RESOLUTION OF CONFLICTS: IN THE CASE OF ERITREA-ETHIOPIA BOUNDARY COMMISSION
Authors: Allahverdiyeva Fidan
Published: February 2025

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission (EEBC) as a case study to explore the role of international law in resolving territorial disputes. Established under the Algiers Agreement following the Eritrean-Ethiopian War (1998–2000), the EEBC was tasked with delimiting and demarcating the contested border between the two states, relying on colonial treaties and international legal principles such as uti possidetis juris. The research highlights both the strengths and limitations of international legal frameworks, illustrating how the EEBC provided a clear legal resolution to the border conflict by awarding the disputed town of Badme to Eritrea. However, Ethiopia’s refusal to comply with the EEBC’s ruling reveals the broader challenges of enforcement in international law. Despite the ruling being final and binding, the lack of an effective enforcement mechanism delayed the resolution of the dispute until political developments, particularly Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s peace initiative in 2018, finally led to normalization between the two countries. This study emphasizes the importance of complementing legal mechanisms with diplomatic and political engagement to ensure compliance and sustainable peace. By situating the EEBC case within the context of post-colonial legacies and regional geopolitics, the article offers new insights into the intersection of law, politics, and history in conflict resolution, contributing to broader debates on the efficacy of international legal institutions.
AZERBAIJAN'S ENERGY SECURITY POLICY IN THE CONTEXT OF RELATIONS WITH THE EUROPEAN UNION
Authors: Asadova Khanim
Published: February 2025

After regaining its state independence in 1991, the Republic of Azerbaijan began to realize its sovereign rights in the economic field and conduct an independent policy. The main directions of this policy were the economic system created on the basis of different forms of ownership, the transition to the market economy and integration into the world economy. In the first years of independence, energy policy was one of the most important directions of Azerbaijan's foreign policy. There are several directions of Azerbaijan's energy policy, of which two more important ones can be specially mentioned. The first one was about ensuring Azerbaijan's own internal energy security, and the second one was about the contribution that other countries can make to ensuring energy security. From this point of view, it is of great importance to investigate the issue of creating new opportunities related to both the production of Azerbaijan's energy resources and the ways to export these resources to international markets. The scientific novelty of the research is in the deep investigation and evaluation of the energy security policy within the framework of relations with the EU, in putting forward serious proposals for the achievement of real goals of this policy, and in presenting the results based on rich facts. Azerbaijan is a reliable partner for Europe. Our approach to the issue of energy security is that energy resources should unite countries and peoples, not divide them. Energy resources should serve regional and international cooperation, not competition or conflict. The interests of suppliers, transit countries and consumers should align and lead to greater predictability and mutual benefit. This is the energy philosophy of our country.

Authors: Volf Oleksandr
Published: February 2025

The author has analyzed the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the development of palliative and hospice care in Ukraine from 2011 to 2024. Using such research methods, as bibliosemantic and systems analysis, it has been determined that the need for such care remains high, with NGOs playing a crucial role in its provision. Special attention is given to projects supported by the International Renaissance Foundation. However, NGO activities are often fragmented, complicating the systemic development of palliative care. The necessity of an integrated approach is emphasized, encompassing medical, social, and legal support for patients, along with enhanced coordination between governmental and non-governmental structures to ensure compliance with international standards. Additionally, conditions must be created in the state for active civil society participation in shaping policies within this sphere.
PROMETHEUS MYTH AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: A SYMBOLIC PARADIGM OF TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS
Authors: Lefterova Olga , Lefterov Oleksandr
Published: February 2025

This article considers the myth of Prometheus as a symbolic basis for understanding the modern discourse on the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Parallels between the myth and modern technological processes are analyzed through the prism of the symbolism of ethical, social and philosophical aspects, in the context of the responsibility of creators AI and the consequences of innovations. The use of Artificial Intelligence in a post-information society, like the myth of Prometheus in the era of antiquity, form the same paradigm of ethical issues of technological progress: the desire for development and improvement of human existence is simultaneously accompanied by important moral demands and risks. Prometheus brought fire to people, but made people responsible for their actions, and the use of AI forces modern humans to be responsible for their innovations and their consequences for future generations.

Just the facts: How dialogues with AI reduce conspiracy beliefs
Authors: Costello Thomas H , Pennycook Gordon , Rand David Gertler
Published: February 2025

Conspiracy beliefs are widely considered resistant to factual correction, yet recent research shows that relatively brief, personalized “debunking” dialogues with a generative AI model can substantially reduce such beliefs. To identify the mechanisms driving this effect, we conducted an experiment spanning eight treatment arms that varied key features of participants’ interactions with GPT-4 during such debunking dialogues (N = 1,297). The debunking effect proved robust across most manipulations—including whether participants were explicitly told the AI aimed to change their minds, were asked to debate the AI, or whether the AI offered them factual information without otherwise seeking to persuade or was concise in its exposition. The only condition that undermined the debunking effect was prompting the AI to persuade participants without presenting any counterevidence, which yielded a null effect. Furthermore, analyses of the AI’s persuasive strategies identified reasoning-based tactics as the sole significant mediator of belief change. Participants who reported feeling persuaded overwhelmingly cited the AI’s rational, evidence-focused approach. Finally, participants higher in actively open-minded thinking showed larger treatment effects. These findings suggest that AI-driven interventions reduce conspiracy beliefs principally by providing factual, targeted counterarguments that address the specific reasons people hold these beliefs.
Meditation and psychedelics facilitate similar types of mystical, psychological, and philosophical-existential insights predictive of wellbeing: A qualitative-quantitative approach
Authors: Jylkkä Jussi
Published: February 2025

Both psychedelic substances and meditation have been proposed to facilitate personally meaningful and transformative experiences, where insights have been proposed as a central component. However, previous research has mainly relied on questionnaires, which limit the range of insights that can be identified. We recruited participants who reported personally meaningful experiences facilitated by either a psychedelic substance (including classic and non-classic psychedelics; n = 147) or meditation (n = 66) and asked them to provide narrative reports of the insights they experienced. Qualitative analysis revealed three main insight themes: Mystical-type (subclasses Unity, Metaphysical, and Other), Psychological (subclasses Metacognitive, Value, and Compassion), and Philosophical-existential (subclasses Purpose, Value, and Other). Mystical-type insights were more frequent in reports of meditation experiences, while value insights were more frequent in psychedelic reports. Otherwise, the reported insights were highly similar across the two types of reports, and no differences were observed between various psychoactive substances. Regression analyses indicated that metacognitive insights were positively associated with perceived improvements in positive affect, while mystical-type insights predicted increased meaning in life. Unexpectedly, compassion insights predicted lower levels of peace of mind and cognitive defusion. These findings suggest that both psychedelics and meditation can facilitate a broad range of insights that are not fully captured by existing questionnaires. The findings extend previous research indicating similarities between psychedelic and meditation experiences and can be taken to support the notion that transformative experiences are not unique to psychedelics and can be facilitated through various means.

A Historical Analysis of the Caste System: Origins and Evolution
Authors: Kafle Dol Raj
Published: February 2025

This study provides a comprehensive historical analysis of the caste system, focusing on its origins, evolution, and global impact. Originating from ancient Indian society, the caste system initially arose from the division of labour, categorizing people into groups based on occupation and birth. Over time, the system became more complex, influenced by social, economic, and political factors, and spread across South Asia, impacting neighboring regions like Nepal. Although much research has been conducted on the caste system, significant gaps remain, particularly regarding its early development, the socio-political dynamics shaping its structure, and its comparative role in other ancient civilizations such as Greece, Rome, Egypt, etc. This study aims to fill these gaps by exploring not only the Indian context but also drawing parallels with other societies. By employing a qualitative research approach and utilizing secondary sources, this study examines how caste was shaped by occupation, inter-caste relationships, and regional variations, with particular attention to the colonial and post-colonial perspectives. The research further situates the caste system within global frameworks of social hierarchy, highlighting its enduring influence on contemporary societies. This historical exploration seeks to enhance understanding of caste, emphasizing its significance as both a social identity and a mechanism for asserting rights within hierarchical structures.

Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) in Renewable Energy and its Relevance to developing countries like Nepal
Authors: Pandey Ranju , Chaudhary Deepak
Published: February 2025

The study discusses virtual power purchase agreements in the renewable energy sector in Nepal. Nepal is rich in renewable energy resources like hydropower as there are more than 6000 rivers with slopes and steep topography. Currently, Nepal is in a position to export power to the cross-boarders (India and Bangladesh). However, there are many obstacles and hurdles in the development of Hydropower in the country. Developing a hydropower plant involves significant financial risks due to its capital-intensive nature, long gestation period, and reliance on external factors like hydrology and regulatory frameworks. In this scenario, if there were a competitive market with the Virtual Power Purchase Agreement, it could reduce the financial risk. It could incentivize national and international investors for financing to produce more renewable energy. Further, VPAA allows it to meet its renewable energy targets easily.
