Authors: Dost Süleyman
Published: May 2024

Uluslararası alanda ortaya çıkan hukuki sorunlar, yazılı ve yazılı olmayan uluslararası hukuk kurallarının uygulanmasıyla ile çözülmeye çalışılmaktadır. Ancak mevcut ilke, kural ve uygulamaların bu sorunları her zaman çözmeye yetmediği görülmektedir. Yetersiz kalınan işbu alanlardaki sorunların çözümü için dünyadaki farklı hukuk sistemlerinden yararlanılmaktadır. Bu farklı hukuk sistemlerinden birisi de ihtiva ettiği ilke, kural ve uygulamaları ile İslam Hukuk sistemidir. Kelime olarak, “barış, kurtuluş ve esenlik” anlamlarına gelen İslam’ın ortaya çıkış amacı, insanlığın barışı, kurtuluşu ve esenliğidir. İnsanlığın karşılaştığı sorunların çözümü için, bütün alanlarda olduğu gibi uluslararası insancıl hukukta da, İslam’ın getirdiği ilke, kural ve uygulamalardan yararlanılmaktadır. Çünkü İslam hukukunda esirlerle ilgili yazılı ve yazılı olmayan kurallar 1400 yıl önce konulmuştur. Buna karşılık modern uluslararası insancıl hukukta esirlere dair kurallar, ancak 20.yüzyıl başlarında yazılı hale getirilmeye başlanmıştır. Bu yönüyle İslam hukukunun esirler ile ilgili bu birikiminden yararlanılması gerektiği söylenmelidir. Şimdiye kadar bu konuda yapılan çalışmalar, daha çok İslam hukukçuları tarafından ele alınmıştır. Bu nedenle esirler ile ilgili insancıl hukuk kurallarını daha ayrıntılı ele alan çalışma ihtiyacı kendini göstermektedir. Bu amaçla hazırlanan çalışmada, esirler konusunda İslam hukukunda öngörülen ilke ve kurallar ile insancıl hukukta bulunan ilke ve kurallar karşılaştırılmaktadır. Bu karşılaştırma, kaynaklar, esir kavramı, ilkeler, esirlere uygulanacak muamele ve esirliğin sona ermesi halleri bakımından yapılmaktadır. Bu kapsamda İslam hukukunun esirlere ilişkin kurallarının kaynakları olan ilgili ayet, hadis ve diğer kaynaklar ile insancıl hukukun esirlere ilişkin temel kaynakları olan 1949 tarihli Harp Esirlerine Yapılacak Muamele ile İlgili Cenevre Sözleşmesi (III.Sözleşme) ve 1977 tarihli Silahlı Çatışmalarda Mağdurların Korunmasına İlişkin I. Ek Protokol’deki ilgili ilke ve kurallar incelenmektedir.

Published: May 2024

Nowadays, the massive growth of data and the adoption of the cloud-based architecture indicate that the secure storage of data is a very essential issue. Cloud storage is the solution to convenient, scalable and cost-effective storage, yet security issues persist, especially regarding the protection of sensitive information. The encryption plays a vital role in which data is made unreadable and only accessible by those with the proper authorization. This helps in data management and minimizes data leaks. Shared responsibility in cloud security entails collaboration between the operators and users through the encryption strategy and a number of security measures to protect the data, apps, and infrastructure. This paper deals with the different cryptographic techniques and technologies used for improving cloud security. It discusses the notion of Non-Deterministic Cryptographic Scheme (NCS), which is a secure technique that effectively utilizes randomness in cryptographic algorithms. Regarding the Intel architecture compatibility, SGX and blockchain technology implementation not only ensures data immutability, but it also strengthens the data against cyber threats. SGX produces secure compartments inside cloud platforms, while blockchain makes data integrity possible through decentralized and immutable ledger technology. The research gives an impression of the seaside and multi sided cloud security. Involving encryption, access control, data loss prevention, and intrusion detection systems. Technologies of cryptography like Group Key Based Attribute Encryption (GKBAE) and Modified Random Fibonacci Cryptography (MRFC) offers both data protection and reduced resource requirement in clouds. GKBAE enables fine-grained access control and attribute-based encryption that ensures high data security without any additional computation. In addition, the paper also talks about the privacy-preserving technology, and policy-oriented access control framework. Techniques like Linear Elliptical Curve Digital Signature (LECDS) that combine digital signatures with blockchain technologies can also be used to implement the above features. To sum up, the changing scenario of cloud security requires ceaseless innovation and application of the latest cryptographic methods. Through encryption, hardware level security features and distributed ledger technology implementation, data environment is more strengthened and vulnerabilities to hacking, data leakage, and unauthorized access are decreased. Making use of the modern security tools not only does the data safety but also is responsible for the trustworthiness and stability of the cloud computing infrastructure.

The Impact of Non-Oil Exports on the Economic Growth in Saudi Arabia: An Empirical Analysis
Authors: Khayat Sahar Hassan
Published: May 2024

This study aims to investigate the impact of non-oil exports on the economic growth of Saudi Arabia during the period 2000-2022. Since Saudi Arabia targets to transform their economy from dependence to the diversification of economic resources, it is important to evaluate the impact of non-oil exports on the gross domestic product (GDP) in the long run. This study used multivariate time series analysis, including Johansen-Juselius co-integration and Vector Error Correction Model to determine the long-run relationship between them. The findings of the study revealed that non-oil exports have a statistically significant impact on economic growth in the long run. However, oil exports have a negative relationship with economic growth in the long run. Moreover, it also observed that a real effective exchange rate negatively affects economic growth while gross capital formation has a positive impact on economic growth in the long run. It is recommended that the non-oil sectors should be considered as a prime concern regarding infrastructural development due to their instant return to the country and should provide loans at minimal or zero interest to support them in the effective production of non-oil exports. Moreover, also makes legislation in the favor of domestic and foreign stakeholders so that they can encourage them to invest in non-oil exports and expand the non-oil sector.

The complex nature of foreign trade operations and related customs formalities are some of the prerequisites giving rise to the need for customs representation to form part of the customs process. Such representation is a necessary part of international supply chains, as the requisite professional knowledge in the sphere of customs compliance serves to protect the interests of both the economic operators involved and the state represented by the customs administration. The services provided by the customs representatives facilitate the smooth passage of the consignments through the relevant customs formalities, lead to a reduction in the time for customs clearance and, through consultation, lead to increasing the wellbeing of the economic operators who trust them. At the same time, customs administrations generally have a trustworthy and predictable partner: the customs representative who understands the customs formalities and actively assists in fulfilling the tasks and objectives assigned to them. In the context of the Republic of Bulgaria, customs representatives play an important role in customs procedures and participate in a substantial part of import, export and transit operations.
Tariff Barriers and Non-Tariff Barriers: Appraising Colombia’s Protectionism
Authors: Baene Rojas Jose Jaime , Londono Pineda Abraham Allec
Published: May 2024

Tariff barriers (TBs) are regulated under the provisions of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), such as the most-favoured-nation treatment article, which establishes that trade concessions granted to one member are applied immediately and without conditions to all other members. Likewise, the schedule of concessions on goods, which indicates that all trade concessions made by members must be reported under the legal agreement’s ‘bound’ rates. Then, if one World Trade Organization (WTO) member raises applied tariffs above their bound level, any WTO member can sue the country for this action. However, on the other hand, the non-tariff barriers (NTBs) are more complex to regulate due to a state’s ability to adopt many different new measures, which makes the measures hard to identify as barriers. Furthermore, the opacity of many NTBs also makes enforcement of regulations a complicated international endeavour. Thus, the international trading system assumes that there will be essential challenges and seeks to develop explicit provisions for this kind of protectionism. This paper, which is based on the findings of a comprehensive review of Colombia’s situation, provides a general explanation of TBs and NTBs as protectionist measures within the foreign trade of this Latin American country. In doing so, the research identifies the TBs and NTBs currently adopted, the effects of these barriers on this economy, and the sectors that are meaningfully affected by these measures.
Lines, Flows and Transnational Crime: Toward a Revised Approach to Countering the Underworld of Globalisation
Authors: Bersin Alan , Karlsson Lars
Published: May 2024

This article proposes a paradigm shift in the means and methods of combating transnational criminal activity. It contends that global illicit flows, engineered by organised crime on a massive scale, alongside lawful trade and travel, represent a principal challenge to public safety and civic order. It proposes further that the Westphalian territorial state system, with its complement of multilateral regulatory and law enforcement organisations, is not equipped to meet the challenge effectively. The article advances a series of propositions in support of developing a revised approach to confronting transnational criminal activity.

Advertising, Marketing and Promotional (AMP) Expenses in Customs Valuation
Authors: Dixit Mrudula
Published: May 2024

Customs duties are an important aspect of international trade and compliance is mandatory for all companies and organisations engaged in overseas business. These customs duties generate revenue to the importing state and no link is needed between the two parties of different countries for the importing state to levy duty. Primarily, General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) Article VII and Customs Valuation Rules, 2007, govern customs valuation in India and lay down the standards regarding transaction value, related party transactions and ‘price paid or actually payable’. Each of these authorities will be explained in this paper, along with recent rulings of Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT) and a comparative analysis of India with customs valuation in other jurisdictions, such as USA, Canada and the European Union. The objective of this paper is to establish whether advertising, marketing and promotional expenses should be included in the ‘price actually paid of payable’ of the goods or services imported. The considerations affecting this analysis are twofold: the extent of the term, ‘post-importation expenses’ and the nature of ‘buyer’s own account’. Further, the researcher will study the observations of the Technical Committee on Customs Valuation. Even though various technical terminologies are involved in the study of this issue, the finer nuances will be delineated carefully throughout the paper.
World Customs Organization and Global Trade: Imprints and Future Paradigms
Authors: Parthiban MM , Murali T Samaya , Subramanian G Kanaga

This paper traces the evolution of customs cooperation as an imperative of global trade, and the origins and achievements of the World Customs Organization (WCO). The birth of the WCO marked the first attempt at multilateral customs cooperation on a global scale, and this paper examines the challenges of customs cooperation since inception as well as emerging paradigms. After briefly tracing the early limited attempts to foster customs cooperation among sovereign states, this paper analyses the indelible imprints made by the sustained efforts of the WCO to simplify and harmonise customs procedures to facilitate international trade. The authors use inductive research methodology and link analysis to examine the impact of the WCO in developing standards and enhancing compliance for the ease of doing business in member countries in general and in India in particular. Our results suggest that there is a positive and robust effect of the WCO’s instruments and programs in harnessing technology; in developing new paradigms and promoting their adoption by the customs and trade community; and in promoting communication and connectivity among member countries and peer learning. A detailed analysis on supply chain security as a contributing factor in achieving the vision of a globally networked Customs for a seamless flow of legitimate international trade is also presented. The paper argues that, in times of crisis, such as COVID-19 or any disaster of international scale, the need for a strengthened globally networked Customs becomes crucial. Under the future paradigms, a citizen-centric approach for sustainability of people, planet and prosperity is also addressed.

INTRODUCCIÓN. La apendagitis epiploica (AE) es una patología infrecuente que suele presentarse con dolor abdominal agudo en cuadrantes inferiores del abdomen. Su presentación conlleva la realización de un diagnóstico diferencial con múltiples patologías urgentes. MATERIAL Y MÉTODO. Estudio retrospectivo de serie de casos diagnosticados de AE. Todos los pacientes fueron atendidos en el servicio de urgencias, de un hospital terciario, con seguimiento a 2 años. RESULTADOS. Se incluyeron 17 pacientes, con una edad media de 56,53 ± 18,39 años. El tiempo de evolución de la clínica fue de < 24 horas en 5 casos (29,4%) y > 48 horas en 9 casos (52,9%). La localización de la AE fue en el colon sigmoide en el (29,4%), colon descendente (23,5%), colon ascendente (11,7%), ciego (29,4%), y colon transverso (5,8%). Tres pacientes (17,6%) fueron tratados quirúrgicamente, 8 (47,1%) recibieron tratamiento ambulatorio con analgesia oral y 5 (29,3%) fueron hospitalizados para tratamiento analgésico endovenoso. Ningún caso presentó recidiva en los 2 años de seguimiento. DISCUSIÓN. La AE es un cuadro autolimitado que se resuelve habitualmente con tratamiento sintomático. Es importante tenerla en cuenta como causa de dolor abdominal por la posibilidad de realizar intervenciones quirúrgicas innecesarias.

La localidad de Valentín Alsina (Lanús, Buenos Aires) resulta un espacio privilegiado para el análisis de las transformaciones acontecidas en el Gran Buenos Aires desde fines del siglo XIX y a lo largo de la primera mitad del XX: los procesos de urbanización, de industrialización y el marcado incremento de la población de origen extranjero. Ubicada en el epicentro de la expansión fabril, a orillas del Riachuelo, dicha localidad se fue convirtiendo en un relevante enclave industrial y su población se caracterizó por la presencia de grupos inmigratorios de orígenes disímiles.

Con este libro, se procura contribuir a un mayor conocimiento de las múltiples interacciones entre la llegada de inmigrantes, principalmente de origen europeo, y el desarrollo local en el área del Gran Buenos Aires, por ejemplo en materia de industrias y emprendimientos asociativos. En este sentido, la investigación sobre Valentín Alsina nos ofreció las ventajas de una pequeña escala de indagación, a través de la cual no solo fue posible sopesar los efectos de los condicionantes macro, sino también observar las acciones y estrategias llevadas a cabo por los sujetos.

AbstractGod equips every human being with different potentials, which are called divine potentials. Problems sometimes make a person weak both mentally and in faith. One of the factors causing this to happen is a lack of intimacy with God, and Satan takes advantage of the situation. Weaknesses and strengths that exist can cause a conflict so that it can make a person a positive or negative person in terms of words, actions and perspectives. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a literature study approach to II Corinthians 12:10. The application of strength behind weakness according to II Corinthians 12:10 is: the right response, surrendering completely to God and acting with God's power. Keywords: Strengths, Weaknesses, CorinthiansAbstrakAllah melengkapi setiap manusia dengan potensi yang berbeda-beda, yang disebut dengan potensi Ilahi. Masalah kadang membuat seseorang menjadi lemah baik secara mental maupun iman. Salah satu faktor yang menyebabkan hal tersebut terjadi adalah kurang adanya kedekatan dengan Tuhan, dan Iblis menggunakan situasi tersebut.
