Philosophical and Legal Anthropology: The Dialectic of Homo Juridicus
Authors: Levakin Igor V.
Published: January 2025

The threat to human existence determines the need for an anthropological turn in the philosophy of law based on a modern interpretation of humanism principles. Perhaps in the very nature of homo there is a drive towards self-destruction, and the relatively short historical cultivation of homo juridicus, as an ideal legal subject which follows the law and respects the rights of others, could not put obstacles to the tendency. The aim of the study is to identify a genuine, i.e. preserving the identity of a human being, synthesis harmonizing the dialectics of alternative philosophical and legal views on his legal nature. The dialectic of homo juridicus is recognized through the solution of the problems outlined in the alternative answers to the questions: what is the disclosure of the nature of a human being as a legal phenomenon in the interpretation of religious-philosophical traditionalism (thesis); from the position of socio-philosophical scientism (antithesis); from the point of view of socio-cultural relativism (false synthesis). The research methodology includes generalization of views on the legal nature of man; abstraction from the diversity of legal statuses of subjects of legal relations; idealization of “legal man” as a philosophical and legal image and others. The dialectic of homo juridicus within the framework of alternative philosophical and legal approaches to understanding its nature is revealed through: the pursuit of the metaphysical (idealistic trends of jurisprudence); the appeal to rational knowledge within the framework of scientism (positivist-sociological theories of law); the context of relativistic disillusionment with the otherworldly and the empirical (legal postmodernism). The dialectic of homo juridicus indicates the dynamic stability of its legal nature; the transformation/ evolution of dimensions and characteristics of the human as a legal phenomenon prove his adaptability to the increasingly complex world, which requires not shaky relativism, but beneficial harmonization — a true synthesis embodying the principles of modern humanism — the transcendent (ideal) and this-worldly (material) in the nature of homo juridicus. True harmonization does not deny the innate legal characteristics of man, creatively developing the rational rules of his being (positive law) while striving for the metaphysical (legal ideal), its prerequisite is the preservation of homo and its uniqueness in future generations.
Judicial Disputes on Termination of Software Technical Support by Foreign Rightholders
Authors: Kanashevsky Vladimir
Published: January 2025

The article discusses issues related to the ambiguous Russian judicial practice of considering disputes related to the termination of technical support services for software provided by foreign copyright holders to Russian users in connection with the withdrawal of foreign copyright holders from the Russian market after the start of a special military operation. The purpose of the study is to highlight the main approaches of domestic courts to the consideration of cases related to the termination of software technical support services, including issues of legal qualification of the relevant relations of the parties. The research uses methods of formal logic (analysis and synthesis), as well as private scientific methods (comparative jurisprudence and formal legal interpretation). The author comes to the conclusion that it is illogical to apply the rules on purchase and sale (delivery) to the “sale” of certificates for technical support of software, since, unlike other types of property rights in this area, there is a special regulation: the relevant relations must be qualified as pre-paid services and the provisions of the legislation on services applied to them or considered as part of the obligations of the parties under license agreements and apply to them the relevant rules of Part four of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Following the formal legal approach of applying the rules of the law on purchase and sale (supply) to the sale of property rights leads to results that contradict the very nature of the relationship between the parties.
Access to Justice in Bankruptcy Cases
Authors: Fokin Evgeniy
Published: January 2025

The subject of this study is the issues of ensuring the access to justice in insolvency (bankruptcy) cases. The author substantiates the relevance of understanding the judicial procedures for considering bankruptcy cases through the prism of the theoretical concept of accessibility of justice, and states its main approaches. Access to justice is proposed to be considered in three aspects: theoretical (doctrinal), legislative and practical. Ensuring the accessibility of justice in bankruptcy cases is also considered through these aspects. The problem of the applicability of theoretical interpretations of the concept of “justice” to bankruptcy cases is shown. The amendments to the Bankruptcy Law of 2024, developed and proposed by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, are considered in detail. It is emphasized that they modernize the procedure for considering bankruptcy cases and contribute to ensuring the accessibility of justice. The need for legislative specification of judicial control over the implementation of extrajudicial bankruptcies by multifunctional centers for the provision of state and municipal services is emphasized. The article examines the trends in the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, which in recent years has repeatedly addressed the issues of the constitutionality of procedural regulations for the consideration of bankruptcy cases. It is concluded that the constitutional control body in relation to this category of economic disputes has begun to form judicial doctrines that are of positive importance for ensuring the accessibility of justice. At the same time, the urgent task of law enforcement practice is the implementation of the legal positions of the Constitutional Court in judicial arbitration practice.
Legal Limits of Liability of Local Government Bodies and Local Government Officials
Authors: Plyugina Inna
Published: January 2025

At the municipal level, a wide range of local issues is implemented, including those related to environmental protection, provision of educational, medical, transport services, prevention and elimination of emergency situations, strengthening interethnic peace and harmony, etc. In addition, local governments implement individual state powers, which they are vested with in the appropriate order. The effectiveness of the implementation of the competence of local governments depends on many factors: the material and financial resources available to the municipality, the support provided by the state, the qualifications of the personnel, etc. Measures of legal responsibility are designed to ensure the implementation of the assigned tasks and functions, minimize the risks of abuse and corruption. The article highlights the problems of legal regulation and implementation of individual measures of responsibility of local government bodies and officials to the population and the state (recall, dismissal, etc.), and formulates possible directions for improving legal regulation. The importance of maintaining a balance is emphasized, based on the principles of independence of local self-government, stability and continuity of the functioning of public authorities, and the independence of the exercise of powers by public authorities. The positive effect of implementing agreements between local governments and prosecutorial authorities in the field of lawmaking is noted: this form of interaction allows improving the quality of preparation of municipal regulatory legal acts, reduces the likelihood of their contradiction with federal legislation and the legislation of the subjects of the Russian Federation.
Application of the Principle of Good Faith by Courts: A Comparative Legal Study
Authors: Ginzburg Irina
Published: January 2025

The principle of good faith plays an important role in the legal order of any state. Its content and practical implementation may raise questions, but its importance for ensuring fairness in legal relations is undeniable. Despite the complexity and abstractness of the principle of good faith, its practical significance is great: a party that commits dishonesty in its actions may be denied, in whole or in part, the protection of its rights, which will ensure, among other things, the protection of the interests of the bona fide party. It is extremely important to study foreign experience in applying the principle of good faith, both in order to identify the most effective judicial practices, and in order to find the optimal legal tools that could be used in the law enforcement practice of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the study is to form a scientific understanding of the application of the principle of integrity, taking into account Russian practice and the practice of foreign countries. The research was carried out on the basis of general scientific interdisciplinary and specific methods (formal legal, comparative legal, etc.). Conclusions. The open nature of the principle of good faith allows it to be applied to a variety of practical situations. A comparative analysis of judicial practice on assessing the good faith of refusals to participate in group proceedings led to the conclusion that the application of the principle of good faith should not be based on firm imperative principles, as this can lead to adverse consequences. When assessing the actions of the parties, courts should proceed not from the behavior expected of any participant in civil transactions, but from the legitimate expectations of the parties to a particular agreement. A correct assessment of the behavior of the parties is facilitated by an analysis of the interests of the disputing persons, taking into account the specific circumstances of the case.

Authors: Truntsevskiy Yury
Published: January 2025

Anti-corruption measures are more aimed at combating corrupt officials, while less attention is paid to measures to prevent it. This is one of the omissions in the eradication of corruption. And if anti-corruption measures have generally reduced it, then the results of its prevention are still insufficient. One of such important measures is anti-corruption education. The purpose of the study is to develop proposals for the formation of anti-corruption educational content for school children. Objectives: to consider the existing practice of anti-corruption education (enlightenment) in the pre-university format, to explore the role that anti-corruption education (enlightenment) plays in shaping the anti-corruption character of school children; to identify the main problems of improving the forms of anti-corruption education (enlightenment) in the pre-university format. Research methods: logical; systematic; formal-legal; comparative-historical. Results. It is proved that anti-corruption behavior and attitudes that should be developed in school leadership are honesty, diligence, discipline, courage, responsibility, independence, simplicity, fairness, care, open-mindedness and transparency. Special training of teachers in anti-corruption education (enlightenment) is needed. When developing anti-corruption education programs, the information in them should be ranked by the audience: students of junior, middle and senior grades.

Published: January 2025

In the intensely competitive educational landscape of today, university reputation has become a major conversation point. Research has demonstrated the importance of a university's reputation in influencing the choices that prospective students make about which universities to attend. Using ranking and rating systems to assess a university's reputation is a common practice. The majority of these strategies are based on standards connected to the university's research output. This method highlights the 'outcome by design' idea, which states that the data, observation, or measurement to be collected must be defined during the planning phase of any activities or programmes. As a consequence, the information accumulated can be transformed into significant outputs such as complete reports, documentation, and analysis for academic publications. Using this strategy, the university is going to be able to capitalize on these outputs to enhance their score on numerous significant ranking methodology indicators, ensuring that their reputation is at its highest possible level.
Կառավարման մեթոդաբանական հարցեր պաշտպանական ոլորտի օրինակով / Methodological issues of management by the example of the defense sphere
Authors: Suvaryan Yu. M.
Published: January 2025

The article examines the main problems of macro-level defense management and provides an overview of well-known theories of the emergence and functioning of the state. Notably, the article highlights the necessity and peculiarities of the transition process to public administra­tion regarding the evolutionary development of the public administration system.

Command and control (management in the armed forces) is specific in view of precise centralization and high level of discipline, as well as the active involvement in this process of both local governments – in order to ensure increased defense capability– and the structures of socio-political institutions and mass media – with a view to controlling the activities of government agencies.

It is noted that in order to implement the defense functions of command and control, it is necessary to develop and adopt a defense strategy and use the armed forces pursuant to this strategy, as well as introduce systems for motivating the military and maintaining control over the armed forces.

In military affairs, the strategy, as a long-term program of complex measures targeted at the state defense, embraces the provision of necessary material resources and the training of qualified professional personnel, constituting a set of pre-developed military-technical action plans and operational plans, while strategic management is the process of making administrative decisions regarding the components of the defense complex, and ensuring the implementation of these decisions in both peacetime and wartime.

The projected system of command and control puts a stress on the fact that the authorities of the Supreme Commander and the Defense Minister should not be divided according to the principles of peacetime and wartime. It also suggests that the defense strategy and operational programs be developed and implemented by the state agency authorized to ensure the security of the country, i. e., the Ministry of Defense, together with the General Staff operating within its framework, and that the Security Council reviewed and submitted them to the Supreme Commander for approval.

The development of the economy, science and education is one of the key prerequisites for ensuring the proper level of defense capability of the army; therefore, it is necessary, by means of scientific and organizational assets, to intensify the interrelations of the science – economics – education subsystems, and build stable and perspective foundations for the significant reformation of the quality and structure of economic development so as to ensure the full-fledged implementation of the defense function.

Authors: Achmad Bagraff Halida
Published: January 2025

In the current era of globalization, which is supported by advances in science and technology, there is no clarity about the boundaries of types of work for men and women. This condition encourages women to participate in expressing intellectual abilities and can help the family economy by working in the public sphere. Therefore, analyzing the dual role of women in the family has an impact on the economic aspect, impacts on family welfare, and how feminism and Islam see the dual role of women in the family economy. This research uses a literature study research method using Publish or Persih software and uses the keywords "dual role of women, feminism, Islamic perspective" from 2020 to 2024 as a database. The dual role of women can increase family income with additional sources of income. However, the impact of women's dual roles on family welfare is very diverse. Women who successfully perform dual roles may have a positive effect on their family's well-being by making additional financial contributions. Conversely, stress, burnout and inequality in the division of household duties may be caused by difficulties maintaining a balance between personal and work life. Feminism supports women's right to have a career, education, and financial control in the context of women's dual role in the family economy. On the other hand, a woman's dual role as a housekeeper and work

Published: January 2025

In the verses of the Qur’an, the concept of a house in general and a residence or permanent residence is often mentioned using several terms, including the terms al-bait or al-buyût and al-maskan or al-masâkin with various forms of derivations. This reality attracts the attention of interpreters to study it through their interpretations in their tafsir works. Among them is Mushthafâ ibn Al-‘Adawî, an Egyptian scholar who has a general science background in his tafsir work entitled Al-Tashîl li Ta’wîl Al-Tanzîl: Al-Tafsîr fî Su’âl wa Jawâb using the question-and-answer method. By using qualitative methods through a descriptive-qualitative literature study approach with data collection techniques using literature sources and documentation studies with descriptive-interpretive data analysis techniques through content analysis, this article uses data sources The primer is the book Al-Tashîl li Ta’wîl Al-Tanzîl: Al-Tafsîr fî Su’âl wa Jawâb by Mushthafâ ibn Al-‘Adawî. Mushthafâ ibn Al-‘Adawî in his interpretation of the terms al-bait and al-maskan in the Al-Qur’an does not seem to really differentiate the nature and accentuation of the meaning of the two terms, except in his interpretation of Q.S. Al-Nahl [16]: 80. If it is considered different, then Mushthafâ ibn Al-‘Adawî stated that al-bait is stated as a residence or permanent residence in a nomadic or sedentary lifestyle, it functions as a place to spend the night or rest at night, while al-maskan is a house that functions as a bringer of peace for its residents.

Published: January 2025

Introduction: Spontaneous intestinal perforation in newborns, often seen in the terminal ileum, is linked to risk factors such as prematurity, low birth weight, and drug exposure. Over-the-counter use of medications like Nospamin (an anticholinergic) and gripe water (an herbal supplement) for infantile colic is common, especially in developing countries, raising concerns about their potential role in gastrointestinal complications.
Methods: This retrospective case series describes five neonates presenting with intestinal perforation following exposure to Nospamin and/or gripe water. All cases were managed at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital over a 12-month period. Clinical assessment, blood work, imaging, and, when indicated, exploratory laparotomy were performed. Interventions included resuscitation, nasogastric decompression, and, where necessary, surgical repair.
Results: The neonates, with an average age of 8.4 days at presentation, showed abdominal distension, fever, and feeding refusal. Imaging confirmed intestinal perforation in all cases. Three neonates underwent successful perforation repair; one neonate improved with conservative management, while another succumbed to hepatic failure and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. The observed link between Nospamin/gripe water exposure and perforation onset warrants further investigation.
Discussion: The cases suggest a possible association between self-medication with Nospamin and gripe water and neonatal intestinal perforation. These findings highlight the need for public education on the risks of unsupervised medication use in neonates. Increased regulatory oversight and awareness campaigns are essential to reduce self-medication practices in vulnerable populations and improve neonatal outcomes.
Cholecystoduodenal Fistula: Rare Complication of Gallstone Disease and Its Management
Authors: Tidjane Anisse , Meriem Dahar , Dinar Souhaib , Tabeti Benali
Published: January 2025

Cholecystoduodenal fistula (CDF) is an abnormal connection between the gallbladder and the duodenum “blue loop”, occurring in approximately 1% of patients with gallstone disease. It primarily affects elderly individuals with long-standing cholelithiasis and recurrent cholecystitis. Women are more commonly affected due to the higher prevalence of gallstone disease. CDF typically develops over time as large gallstones erode through the gallbladder wall into the duodenum. Although uncommon, it can lead to serious complications like gallstone ileus or biliary obstruction. Advances in imaging have improved detection rates. Surgical management is the definitive treatment for this pathological condition.

Published: January 2025

Background Patients with chronic neuropathic pain often report symptoms of depression.
The aim of this work is to determine the intensity of chronic neuropathic pain and to identify the efficacy of spinal neurostimulation in a group of patients with spinal surgery and depression.
Materials and Methods: The study includes 60 patients with chronic neuropathic pain after spinal surgery, who received spinal cord neurostimulation implant between October 2017 and January 2024, at the Professor Nicolae Oblu Emergency Clinical Hospital, Iasi. Prior to the spinal implant, the patient was evaluated neurologically, psychologically, imaging, electromyography and underwent appropriate treatment for chronic neuropathic pain for about 3 months. The patient self-assessed himself by completing the VAS pain scale, as well as the Roland Morris scale.
Results: Analysis of the data indicated that 37 women (61.7 %) and 23 men (38.3 %) were included, with an average age of 53.87 ± 12.033 years, the majority (35 patients, 58.3 %) being from urban areas. 39 cases (65 %), mainly women (29 patients, 78.4 %) presented depressive syndrome. In 26 cases (43.3%) chronic neuropathic pain started one year after surgery. Neurosurgical interventions prior to chronic neuropathic pain were mainly herniated disc (53 cases, 88.33%). The pain onset was generally quite violent, with 55 patients (91.7%) experiencing pain intensity between 7 and 10 on the VAS scale. The situation improved statistically significantly after implantation, with patients' VAS pain, this time, ranging from 1 to 8. Only in patients with depressive syndrome was there a statistically significant (p = 0.041*) decrease (3.21 ±2.002 versus 4.05 ± 2.012) in the average VAS pain score after implant compared to patients without depressive syndrome.
Conclusion: Neurostimulation is effective long-term as an adjuvant treatment for chronic neuropathic pain in patients with depressive syndrome.

Published: January 2025

Considering that osteosarcoma in children is the most common bone tumor and is characterized by an aggressive evolution, the problem arises of a more personalized treatment to increase the survival rate.
In researching new and reliable biomarkers we identified IGF1 (insulin-like polypeptide hormone) and CRIP-1 (Cysteine-Rich Intestinal Protein 1). Their overexpression has been documented to have a significant prognostic impact on different. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the overexpression of IGF1 and CRIP-1 in pediatric osteosarcoma and assess their potential as a prognostic biomarker.
Marterial and methods: We analyzed 65 samples from patients diagnosed with osteosarcoma at "Sf. Maria" Emergency Clinical Hospital for Children from Iasi, between 2017 and 2021 The staining kits were used is Mouse and Rabbit Specific HRP/DAB (ABC) Detection IHC Kit from Abcam and monoclonal antibody antiIGF1 and polyclonal antibody CRIP 1.Results:Both Igf 1 and CRIP-1 were overexpressed in over 90% of the cases. The lower the degree of differentiation, the less CRIP-1 is overexpressed and the more frequently it is found in the nucleus.We don t identified the ov no exclusive nuclear expression, (associated with a favorable prognosis) for IGF1.Conclusion:Could this mean that CRIP-1 overexpression is associated with a better prognosis? Could this mean that IGF1 overexpression is associated with a poor prognosis? The study highlights the clinical implications of Igf1 and CRIP-1 in osteosarcoma, emphasizing their importance for prognosis, and personalized treatment strategies.

Aim of the study Eugenol, a phenolic compound commonly found in plants like clove and bay leaves, has garnered significant attention in the field of dentistry due to its diverse pharmacological properties. In dentistry, eugenol is frequently employed in various forms, such as in polymerized cement with zinc oxide for restorative purposes. Its applications extend to endodontic cements like zinc oxide-eugenol formulations, which are commonly used in dental procedures. So far, according to our knowledge, no study in the literature has approached formulations based on iron oxide nanoparticles and eugenol, this study being the first. Materials and methods In the present study, it was developed for the first time a formulation based on iron oxide nanoparticles obtained through the combustion method, embedded on its surface with eugenol. The prepared formulation was characterized through electron microscopy investigations, followed by further in vitro evaluation as concerned with their biosafety use on a healthy murine epidermal cell line. Results The results obtained showed that the naked iron oxide nanoparticles are biocompatible and safe to use on the healthy murine epidermal cell line, while the eugenol compound exhibits a dose-dependent cytotoxicity reaching until a value of ~17% at the highest tested dose (100 μg/mL). In addition, the cytotoxicity of eugenol decreased when this was embedded on the iron oxide nanoparticles surface, recording a value of 11% at the highest concentration tested. Conclusions In conclusion, the in vitro studies on such type of formulation in dentistry and dental medicine highlight their multifaceted applications of iron oxide nanoparticles as well as eugenol, emphasizing their potential for advancing dental treatments and diagnostics.

Aim of the study The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of S-ECC in a group of preschool children from Romania and to evaluate the role of socio-behavioral factors in association with this condition. Material and methods 337 children aged between 3 and 5 years were included in this study after determining the sample size. This study was conducted as a questionnaire combined with a clinical examination which determined the DMFT index. After collecting the data from the questionnaire, the socio-behavioral factors were statistically analysed into determining which ones were associated with a high DMFT index. Results The prevalence of S-ECC in this group of preschool children was 31.80%. Some social and behavioral factors were significantly related to S-ECC and to a high DMFT index score such as bottle feeding (p=0.0001), frequently consumed sweet treats (p=0.0001), and irregular dentist visits (p=0.03). On the other hand, the type of toothbrush used (p=0.30), frequency of toothbrushing (p=0.68), and the usage of fluoride toothpaste (p=0.59) were not statistically associated with S-ECC. Conclusions The prevalence of S-ECC among Romanian preschool children is high, and its development and progression are strongly associated with different oral hygiene practices, dietary habits and preventive measures.

Aim of the study This manuscript summarizes important ethical considerations relevant to embryo research. The aim of this study was to assess the opinion of three categories of doctors regarding the ethical and legislative implications of scientific research on human embryos. Material and methods To assess the opinion of doctors about the use of human embryos in research, from a related point of view, a questionnaire with 10 questions was made. Each question has three possible answers. Results The results were analyzed according to the age criterion, as follows:18-25 graduated doctors; 26-45 young doctors; 45-65 adult doctors with experience in the field. Conclusions Following the interpretation of the questionnaires, it can be concluded that, in view of the group of people considered, graduated doctors have more knowledge about the current legislation and ethical measures that accompany scientific studies on human biological material. Also, the third group of doctors with experience in the field tend to show the same knowledge as the first group.

The pharmacological protocol using pentoxifylline and tocopherol (PENTO-E) seems to be a promoter according to some authors and is becoming a possible therapeutic proposal in the management of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), though studies have shown its benefit in the management of osteoradionecrosis. The purine derivatives as is pentoxifylline aims to overcome the oxidative stress associated with the rebound effect by improving local circulation. In this study, the therapeutic approach based on the pharmacological association pentoxifylline and tocopherol showed a high cure rate, regardless of the stage of the disease. Thus, PENTO-E therapy could be a safe and effective additional strategy in the management of MRONJ

Background: Nurse-led clinics (NLCs) have emerged as a pivotal innovation in healthcare, aiming to enhance the management of chronic diseases while ensuring patient-centric care. However, the effectiveness of these clinics in promoting patient education and health outcomes remains inadequately evaluated, particularly regarding standardized nursing terminologies. Methods: This review systematically examined the literature on nurse-led outreach programs for at-risk populations, focusing on the outcomes of patient instruction based on the Nursing Outcome Classification (NOC). A comprehensive search of electronic databases, including Medline, Embase, and Web of Science, was conducted to identify relevant studies published up to 2023. Results: The findings indicate that NLCs significantly improve patient outcomes, particularly in managing chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes. Standardized nursing languages were found to enhance the assessment of educational outcomes, enabling nurses to evaluate the effectiveness of their interventions more accurately. Additionally, the review highlighted the importance of addressing psychological health outcomes alongside physical health metrics. Conclusion: The integration of evidence-based practices in nurse-led outreach programs is essential for optimizing patient education and health outcomes. This study underscores the necessity for further research to systematically evaluate the impact of NLCs on diverse patient populations and to develop effective educational strategies that can be standardized across healthcare settings

Authors: Omojemite Matthew Damilola,
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the incidence of kidnapping and banditry on students' academic performance with implications for education and security policies in Nigeria. Descriptive survey research design has been adopted for this study to be carried out among school students and university students in selected states: Ondo, Kogi, Bauchi, Kaduna, Anambra, and Edo. It had a target population of all students in the country's senior and tertiary institutions. Stratified random sampling was conducted to make a random population of 6000 out of these three tiers, into which each student belonged. The data collection instruments included the IKB-SAPQ developed and validated by experts in education and security studies. Its reliability was established with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.85. The tool was administered with the collaboration of school authorities and trained research assistants, thus yielding a very high response rate. Descriptive and inferential statistics, such as percentages, means, and ANOVA, were used in the analysis to ascertain the magnitude and variation of these effects. Results showed that kidnapping and banditry significantly disrupt students' academic performance through poor attendance, psychosocial disturbances, and decreased motivation. More than 65% of the students had concentration problems and disruptions of school work, while 70% showed increased anxiety and fear. The study recommends improving security in schools, safety at the community level, and increasing psychological support for affected studentsz. Furthermore, the government and educational stakeholders have to work together to enact policies that would address these root causes of insecurity and create a conducive environment for learning.
The Rights of the Palestinian Woman between Sharia and Its Application in the Palestinian constitution
Authors: Totah Sanaa Maher
Published: January 2025

The Islamic religion is interested in regulating woman's rights and respecting her dignity, where Islam divided woman's rights into public rights and political rights. Indeed, this is evident in the current study entitled "The rights of the Palestinian woman between Sharia and its application in the amended Palestinian constitution of 2005". There is a variation among the international documents related to woman's rights from one county to another based on the political and social conditions of countries; accordingly, the Palestinian constitution approved the rights and freedoms of the Palestinian woman in accordance with the social and political context. Despite the superiority of constitution over all the regular legislations, we can see that the regular laws varied in terms of protection of woman's rights, as stated in the Jordanian penal law of 1960, which is applied in Palestine and the personal status law of 1976, which will be addressed in this study.
