Authors: Karbowska Agata
Published: December 2024

Kenya has been among the recipients of Polish Official Development Assistance since 2011. Polish aid to Kenya is improving the quality of healthcare, the access to high-quality education at all levels, increasing the capacity of emergency services, equalizing educational and life chances for children from groups at risk of exclusion, entrepreneurship development and activities to increase the efficiency of micro and small enterprises, and initiatives for environmental protection.
Poland, on the basis of the Multiannual Development Cooperation Program 2021–2030. Solidarity for Development, supports the communities of 10 priority countries, including Kenya. Earlier, between 2016–2020, it was also supporting the communities of 12 priority countries, including Kenya. Humanitarian aid is often provided under an ad hoc procedure in connection with emerging humanitarian crises that affect the inhabitants of a given region. Humanitarian aid can be delivered both bilaterally and through multilateral channels through contributions to specialized international organizations. The PCPM Foundation ran the program of development of the specialist rescue system in Kenya between 2021–2023. Development aid in Kenya is also provided by the Polish Humanitarian Organization.

Visegrad Countries and Africa
Authors: Lucini Barbara
Published: December 2024

The scenario of great international uncertainty and insecurity reconfigures a new and necessary focus on the dynamics between the Visegrad countries and Africa.
Through an evolutionary historical perspective and a focus on the complex and delicate contemporary situation, this contribution aims to explore and deepen the type of relations that have been established over the years between the Visegrad countries and Africa. Specifically, the paper considers the policies developed by Visegrad countries with particular attention to three issues: security, resilience, cultural diplomacy, and cooperation. In accordance with these issues, security is a common ground for both Visegrad countries and Africa as the latter geopolitical reality is in different ways affected by political and economic instability that could be adapted through actions of social resilience and support to the communities involved. The aim of this paper is therefore to understand how the issue of resilience is and has been addressed in the relationship between the Visegrad countries and Africa. In this complex framework influenced by the major events of the Covid-19 pandemic and the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, the instruments of cooperation and cultural diplomacy will be considered to better understand the relationship between the Visegrad countries and Africa.

Authors: Szabó-Zsoldos Gábor
Published: December 2024

“We, abandoned Europeans, armed to the teeth, only have the pleasure of reading the news of the war left; but we are revelling in them, and woe to our poor newspapers if they do not accompany the freshly baked bun of our breakfast with even fresher news – from South Africa.” (Szigethy, 1901, p. I) These lines come from the foreword of Lajos Szigethy’s Anglo-Boer War recollections and capture the atmosphere and tremendous interest of contemporary Hungarian public opinion regarding a war in which Austria-Hungary was not directly involved and took place at a considerable distance from the country. There was particular interest in the Hungarian participants of the war, most of whom, like the Hungarian public, supported the cause of the Boer republics. How they viewed the enemy, i.e. the British, stands at the centre of the present paper. Special emphasis is put on the influence the pro-Boer narrative about the war that was popular in other European countries had on the ways the Hungarian veterans constructed their war reminiscences about the national characteristics, imperial aspirations, and armed forces of the enemy in their respective books, articles, and lectures.

Published: December 2024

Prior studies on social and political activism have neglected people’s demographic and pyschosocial factors, particularly in Nigeria. Thus, a n inquiry is garmane. This study used the world value data wave 7 collected between 2015-2020 for Nigeria, to assess the factors that determined participation in socio-political activism. The data were subjected to t-test, correlation, and regression analysis. A positive statistically significant correlation existed among gender, age, social class, and employment status, and interest in politics and participation in political activism, while negative correlation was found among educational level, geo-political region, and participation in political activism. A significant difference was found in participation and political activism based on social class, educational level, age, income, place, and marital status. No difference was found based on gender. Multiple regression analysis showed that the greatest potent set of predictors of participation in political activism are interest, gender, the highest level of education and marital status. The findings have germane implications for the realization of the Sustainable Development Goal 5.

Published: December 2024

Education serves as a crucial foundation for the advancement and prosperity of any nation, shaping individuals, empowering communities, and fostering economic growth. Nevertheless, educational systems are vulnerable to disruption caused by conflicts and violence, resulting in significant consequences for students, teachers, and educational institutions. This study examines the educational impediments faced in Tigray from the Ethiopian-Tigray conflict, the potential lessons that Nigeria can learn and strategies Nigeria should implement to mitigate these challenges. The study employed a qualitative method using case study research design. Purposive sampling technique was used to select twelve interview participants for the primary data, while secondary data were collected from scholarly publications, journals, articles, and online materials. The findings revealed common obstacles encountered by Ethiopia's educational sector, including disrupted access to schooling, displacement of students and teachers, infrastructure damage, loss of learning resources, and psychological trauma among students. These challenges significantly hindered the provision of quality education and impeded progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in education. This study concludes that education plays a vital role in Nigeria's economic growth and political stability, and by drawing upon Ethiopia's experiences recommends Nigeria to enhance its resilience and preparedness in similar crises, such as strengthening emergency education response mechanisms, investing in inclusive and community-driven education, bolstering infrastructure resilience, and prioritising psychosocial support for affected students among others.

Effects of Strategic Rivalries on Non-Rival Neighboring Small States
Authors: Baiche Abdelhadi
Published: December 2024

This research sheds light on the remarkable political stability that has prevailed for more than a decade in Mauritania, a Sahelian country that has notably not been affected by the spillover effects of military coups in the Sahel. In understanding Mauritania’s political stability—evidenced by the country's first peaceful and constitutional transition of power in 2019 and the absence of any coups since 2009—the paper offers an explanation based on the impact of strategic rivalries on non-rival small states. Specifically, it examines how Mauritania, which has been subject to pressures from the Algeria-Morocco strategic rivalry, deflected these pressures and achieved political stability through shelter diplomacy. Since 2010, Mauritania has managed to secure shelter with France, elevating its relations with Paris to the highest level in their bilateral history. This is evidenced by hosting the G5 Sahel headquarters, engaging in very active summitry with Paris, hosting French soldiers, and chairing the AU summits in 2018 and 2024, despite pressures from terrorism and the historically threatening Algeria-Morocco strategic rivalry.
Coups and Terror in the Sahel
Authors: Ziso Edson , Hamandishe Antonetta Lovejoy
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the intricate relationship between coups, state fragility, and terrorism in the Sahel region, with a focus on Burkina Faso and Niger. The research contextualizes recent coup attempts and successful seizures of power in West and Central Africa since 2020 within the broader historical landscape of coups on the continent. Coups are increasingly linked to rising state fragility, which fuels the proliferation of terrorist activities, exacerbating instability throughout the Sahel, (Dahiru, 2024; ‘Conflict Watchlist 2023: The Sahel’, no date). Methodologically, this study adopts a multi-faceted approach, combining qualitative analysis of historical data with quantitative assessments of coup occurrences and terrorist incidents. It relies on diverse sources, including the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) and scholarly research, to discern patterns and dynamics over time. Theoretically, the study explores how the emergence of military juntas and the erosion of state stability precipitate the spread of terrorism in the region.. The paper will show the extent to which terrorist violence has ravaged local economies, displaced populations and disrupted service provision. The study also aims to explain the implications of increased terrorism for regional security, governance, and potential radicalization and recruitment trends in addition to informing policies and interventions aimed at mitigating the complex interplay of coups, state fragility, and terrorism in the Sahel.

Desigualdad Estructural. Sentencia referida, Corte IDH
Authors: Vergara Aranda Silvina
Published: December 2024

La discriminación estructural puede presentarse en una zona geográfica determinada, en todo el Estado o en una región. En otras palabras, los grupos contextualmente o históricamente excluidos o en desventaja comparten un rasgo común que los identifica, existe una historia de discriminación, de prejuicios sociales negativos contra dichos colectivos, suceptibles de ser reforzados por la normativa, lo cual disminuye la posibilidad de defensa de los intereses del colectivo. Por lo que es importante la interpretación de la Corte al respecto. Al interpretar el artículo 1.1 de la Convención, ha establecido que dicho artículo tiene carácter general, que implica la obligación de los Estados Parte de garantizar el pleno y libre ejercicio de los derechos y libertades allí reconocidas, sin discriminación alguna. Es decir, cualquiera sea el origen o forma que asuma un tratamiento que pueda ser considerado discriminatorio respecto del ejercicio de los derechos garantizados en la Convención, es incompatible con esta y pone al Estado en responsabilidad internacional

The aim of the exploration was to find the organoleptic quality, microbiological quality and fat oxidation of Ongole beef sausage using soy protein flour as an additional ingredient. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments and three replications consisting of PO = 0% soy protein with 20% tapioca flour. P1= 5% soy protein flour with 15% tapioca flour. P2 = 10% tapioca flour, 10% soy flour, P3 = 5% tapioca flour, 15% soy flour, P4 = 0% tapioca flour, 20% soy flour. The parameters observed were organoleptic quality, TPC and fat oxidation. The results of analysis of variance show a significant mean (P<0.01) for TPC. However, it is not significant for organoleptic quality (color, taste, aroma and texture) and fat oxidation value. Treatment of soy protein flour with different levels was able to produce favorable values for the same organoleptic parameters. Treatment of soy protein flour combined with tapioca flour (P2 and P3) was able to reduce the TBA value.

Allelopathy plays an important role in weed control and crop productivity. We evaluated the effect of the residues of Rumex maritimus on the growth performance of boro rice comprising two cultivars i.e., BRRI dhan58 and BRRI dhan74 and four rates of R. maritimus residues treatment such as 0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 t/ha and a farmers practice. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. We identified four weed species (Panikachu, Shama, Shusni, Chesra) belonging to four families. Dry weight of Shama, Shusni, Chesra except Panikachu were significantly affected by variety. The highest Shama dry weight (6.61 g/0.0625 m2) was found in BRRI dhan74 and the lowest weed population (5.81 g/0.0625 m2) was obtained in BRRI dhan58 at 1% level of probability and also the highest Chesra dry weight (5.58 g/0.0625 m2) was found in BRRI dhan74 and the lowest weed population (4.89g/0.0625 m2) was obtained in BRRI dhan58 at 1% level of probability. The highest Shusni dry weight (5.11 g/0.0625 m2) was found in BRRI dhan58 and the lowest weed population (5.00 g/0.0625 m2) was obtained in BRRI dhan74 at a 1% level of probability. Weed density and dry weight were also significantly affected by variety and residue treatment. Results of this study indicate that R. maritimus residues showed the potential to inhibit weed growth of boro rice. Therefore, R. maritimus residues might be used as an alternative way for weed management in effective and sustainable crop production.

Published: December 2024

Water is essential to all life on Earth, serving as a critical resource for both industrial and agricultural activities. However, the quality of groundwater, particularly in urban areas, is a growing concern due to its direct impact on human health. This study aims to evaluate the groundwater quality in selected public places within Meerut City, Uttar Pradesh, India, to assess its suitability for drinking purposes. A total of 48 groundwater samples were collected from four locations across the city. Various physicochemical parameters, including pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), and ion concentrations, were measured and compared against the national standards set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The analysis revealed that while certain parameters such as pH, chloride, nitrate, and sulfate levels were within acceptable BIS limits, others, including TDS, total hardness, magnesium, and calcium, exceeded the permissible thresholds. The Water Quality Index (WQI) assessment further categorized the water quality at all studied locations as 'bad,' indicating significant contamination. The findings suggest that the groundwater in these areas is unsuitable for human consumption without prior treatment. The presence of elevated levels of dissolved solids and hardness, along with other contaminants, highlights the need for immediate intervention to mitigate potential health risks. This study underscores the urgent necessity for effective water management and treatment strategies in Meerut City to ensure safe and sustainable access to potable water.

Inefficient fertilizer management is a major reason for the low soybean productivity in Nepal. This study conducted at an altitude of 811 meters in Baitadi, Nepal, examined the effects of integrated nutrient management on soybean growth, nodulation, and yield. Employing an RCBD experimental layout with 3 replications, the study evaluated 9 treatments, namely: Control, Rhizobium+100% PK, Rhizobium+50% RDF, Rhizobium+75% RDF, Vermicompost+50% RDF, Vermicompost+75% RDF, FYM+50% RDF, FYM+75% RDF, RDF (NPK @ 10:40:30 kg/ha). The results revealed that ‘Rhizobium+100% PK’ produced maximum plant height (140.8 cm), dry weight growth rate (2.89 gram/plant/day), nodule count (11.33), and nodule mass (0.55 gram). ‘Rhizobium+75% RDF’ produced the highest number of trifoliate leaves (62.78) and leaf area index (15.30). Furthermore, ‘Vermicompost+50% RDF’ resulted in a maximum fresh weight growth rate (7.86 gram/plant/day), ‘RDF’ resulted in the highest root diameter (12.89 mm), and ‘FYM+75% NPK’ produced highest 1000-grain weight (145.9 g). The treatments ‘VC+75 % RDF’ and ‘Rhizobium+50 % RDF’ stood out with a remarkable grain yield of 3.659 tons/ha and 3.642 tons/ha respectively. These two treatments were statistically indistinguishable regarding grain yield. The application of ‘VC+75 % RDF’ or ‘Rhizobium+50 % RDF’ can prove to be an effective way to enhance the productivity of soybean. However, the performance of soybean can vary depending on the variety, intercultural operations, environmental conditions, and residual nutrient status of the soil. Therefore, we recommend further research to solidify these findings.

Published: December 2024

A study conducted in Sarlahi, Nepal, from February to July 2024 examined farmers' perceptions of climate change and their adaptive strategies to sustain rice yields. Among the 94 surveyed households, 96.8% reported rising temperatures, while 90.4% noted reduced rainfall frequency and intensity. Additionally, most respondents (70.2%) observed decreased flooding intensity, and 90.4% reported lower water availability in tube wells, ponds, and rivers. The study revealed limited climate knowledge among farmers, with only 2.1% being well-informed; personal experience was the primary source of information for 75.5% of respondents. Farmers employed various adaptation techniques, including improved rice varieties (66%), green manuring (34%), and alternate wetting and drying (24.5%), although only a small percentage (8.5%) utilized crop insurance. Key challenges included climate-induced disease outbreaks like blast and bacterial blight, along with pests such as the rice stem borer and leaf roller. The findings indicated that gender and landholding size significantly influenced the adoption of adaptation practices, with larger landholders more likely to adapt than smaller ones. This research contributes valuable insights into the adaptive capacities of farmers facing climate change, underscoring the need for targeted policy interventions to enhance resilience in rice cultivation through comprehensive education and resource support.

Published: December 2024

The objective of this study is to evaluate the nature and extent of solid waste generated in selected areas of Dehradun, examining the disposal techniques employed and characterizing the waste produced during both normal days and festival days. Additionally, the study aims to educate the community on solid waste management practices and to calculate the average per capita waste generation. The results demonstrate that the ratio of biodegradable waste, primarily comprising flowers, fruits, and vegetables, constituted the highest proportion of waste in all analyzed temples. Of these, flowers represented the most prevalent form of biodegradable waste. The high percentage of floral waste indicates a significant volume of offerings, underscoring the necessity for the development of effective composting and organic recycling plans. Furthermore, the study demonstrates a correlation between an increase in the average generation of waste and the occurrence of holidays or festivals. Consequently, an analysis of waste-to-energy projects will facilitate the transformation of waste into electricity, thereby creating additional space in temples and promoting the utilization of environmentally friendly energy sources.
PALM: Personalized Attention-based Language Model for Long-tail Query Understanding in Enterprise Search Systems
Authors: Zhao Qiwen , Zhou Zhongwen , Liu Yibang
Published: December 2024

Enterprise search systems face significant challenges in handling long-tail queries, which constitute a substantial portion of search traffic but often receive inadequate attention in traditional systems. This paper introduces PALM (Personalized Attention-based Language Model), a novel framework designed to enhance long-tail query understanding in enterprise search environments. PALM integrates personalization capabilities with an advanced attention mechanism to improve search accuracy for infrequent queries while maintaining high performance on common queries. The framework employs a unique hierarchical architecture that combines user context, query semantics, and organizational knowledge through a sophisticated attention mechanism. The system features an innovative query embedding approach that adapts to individual user contexts while leveraging collective organizational knowledge. Extensive experiments on a large-scale enterprise dataset, comprising over 5 million queries from 50,000 users, demonstrate PALM's superior performance compared to state-of-the-art baselines. The results show significant improvements across multiple metrics, with a 17.5% increase in MAP for ultra-rare queries and a 10.4% overall improvement in NDCG@10. The framework exhibits robust performance across different organizational units and query types, making it particularly valuable for enterprise environments where query patterns are highly diverse and context-dependent. Our ablation studies confirm the effectiveness of each component in the PALM architecture, while case analyses provide insights into the framework's practical applications.

This study analyzes the strategy and development of industry in Indonesia with the aim of identifying the main factors that influence the growth of the industrial sector. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study through related documents and journals. The results of the study indicate that industrial growth is influenced by economic, social, technological factors, and government policies. These factors include the growth of the manufacturing sector, the availability of skilled labor, investment, and the adoption of Industrial Revolution 4.0 technology. Government strategies such as Making Indonesia 4.0, tax incentives, and infrastructure improvements have played a significant role in encouraging industrial competitiveness in the global market. However, challenges such as limited infrastructure, high production costs that hinder growth, especially for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and product quality that does not meet international standards are still major obstacles. This study concludes that in order to maintain competitiveness, industry must increase innovation, implement new technologies and strengthen the quality of human resources. The active involvement of the government in supporting policies and infrastructure is crucial to encourage sustainable industrial development.
naturaleza tangible de los medios corruptores en los delitos de corrupción de funcionarios
Authors: Ventura Zurita José Jhordy , Núñez Custodio Nicole Alessandra
Published: December 2024

Este artículo jurídico examina la naturaleza de los medios corruptores en los delitos de corrupción de funcionarios, analizando la relevancia de su materialidad en delitos como el tráfico de influencias y el cohecho, donde su presencia resulta crucial como elemento configurador del tipo penal. Mediante el análisis de la Apelación N.° 7-2023, se cuestiona la interpretación de la Corte Suprema, que considera que los medios corruptores pueden ser de carácter inmaterial. Esta perspectiva implica incluir situaciones sentimentales como las relaciones amorosas, amicales o familiares, como escenarios corruptos, adelantando así la barrera punitiva dentro del iter criminis y complicando la distinción entre actos sociales y conductas ilícitas. Se presenta una postura mixta, basada en la doctrina italiana, que defiende la necesidad de materialidad de los medios corruptores, pero que admite casos en los que el medio corruptor nace como inmaterial, condicionado a que posteriormente, adquiriera una forma material. Este análisis arroja una luz sobre la complejidad de la interpretación de la normativa en casos de corrupción y subraya la urgencia de aclarar el alcance de los medios corruptores en la jurisprudencia y legislación vigente. De este modo, se busca una aplicación coherente y justa de la ley.
delito de violación sexual mediante engaño y su adecuada ubicación en la norma penal como propuesta para la correcta protección de la libertad sexual
Authors: Castañeda Olivera Vivian Ilanicg
Published: December 2024

El delito de violación sexual mediante engaño tipificado en el artículo 175 del Código Penal Peruano presenta una incorrecta ubicación legislativa, por lo que el objetivo de esta investigación es postular una reubicación de este delito hacia el tipo penal base de violación sexual en el artículo 170 del Código Penal Peruano, utilizando como medio para lograrlo el análisis del concepto de “entorno” en el que la víctima no puede dar su libre consentimiento. Es así que, mediante este ejercicio, la definición de “entorno” se amplía como el conjunto de condiciones tanto externas como internas que influyen en el consentimiento del sujeto pasivo, resaltando las condiciones internas como aquellas producidas dentro de la mente humana mediante la formación de una idea o escenarios en la víctima con la finalidad de consentir el acto sexual. Con este nuevo concepto, se incluye el delito de violación sexual mediante engaño dentro del delito base de violación sexual. Esto permitirá visibilizar y criminalizar conductas lamentablemente normalizadas como el stealthing, utilizando para esta labor el método de investigación deductivo.

O JUDICIÁRIO E O DESAFIO DE DECIDIR OS CONFLITOS SOCIOAMBIENTAIS DECORRENTES DA INSTALAÇÃO DE USINAS HIDRELÉTRICAS NO ESTADO DE RONDÔNIA
Authors: Almeida Marisa de , Nascimento Fábio Augusto Almeida do
Published: December 2024

O Estado de Rondônia tem histórico de degradação ambiental – desmatamento incentivado para ocupação territorial, comercialização de madeira, garimpos, avanço do setor agropastoril e, por último, instalação de usinas hidrelétricas, sobretudo no Rio Madeira. Esses empreendimentos provocaram remoção compulsória de ribeirinhos e agricultores e acabaram por gerar grande número de questionamentos no Poder Judiciário. A pulverização de ações em vários juízos levou às instâncias judiciais grandes discussões, cabendo ao Judiciário dar a última palavra. A especialidade da matéria, complexidade dos eventos, poder econômico dos empreendimentos, possibilidade de decisões divergentes e escassez de mão obra de peritos na área ambiental são fatores que atrapalham a tramitação razoável do processo, constituindo um desafio ainda maior para a construção de decisões adequadas. O objetivo desta pesquisa é demonstrar que a construção e operação de usinas hidrelétricas no Rio Madeira ocasionou impactos sociais e ambientais negativos, criando demanda judicial relevante. Objetiva-se ainda esclarecer as dificuldades enfrentadas pelo Judiciário rondoniense. Para tanto, utilizou-se uma abordagem qualitativa, de cunho descritivo, procedimento bibliográfico, documental e pesquisa de campo para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa. Os resultados demonstraram que a Justiça de Rondônia tem dificuldades para suprir a demanda judicial, mas tem envidado muitos esforços para solução adequada e célere dos conflitos.

A pesquisa empregou uma abordagem metodológica mista, combinando análise documental de legislações ambientais e relatórios governamentais com a coleta de dados quantitativos e qualitativos de fontes oficiais e não governamentais. Os dados quantitativos foram obtidos de instituições como o Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE), o Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis (IBAMA) e o Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego. Dados qualitativos foram coletados a partir de relatórios da Comissão Pastoral da Terra (CPT) e do Instituto Socioambiental (ISA), que documentaram conflitos agrários e invasões de terras indígenas. A análise dos dados utilizou técnicas para quantificar os índices de desmatamento, queimadas e uso de agrotóxicos, enquanto o conteúdo qualitativo foi analisado por meio de técnicas de análise de discurso e categorização temática, visando identificar os principais desafios socioambientais da região. O estudo conclui que a flexibilização das leis ambientais e a ineficiência das políticas de fiscalização intensificaram a degradação ambiental e os conflitos fundiários, comprometendo a governança ambiental e a proteção das comunidades indígenas.

Cowpea is a legume rich in nutrients that are very important from human nutrition and socio-economic point of view. The transformation of cowpea into Kossai involves several actors for its optimal valorization. This study aims to identify and synthesize the main traits sought by the actors of the links in the Kossai value chain. The methodology consisted of collecting data using a questionnaire administered to populations of 140 cowpea grain producers, 147 Kossai processors/resellers and 146 Kossai consumers selected in 14 sites and 28 focus groups discussions. The results showed that 88% of producers are men, 94% of consumers are men and 100% of processors are women. Actors in the sample have an average age of 46 years and a basic level of education, mainly traditional Coranic school and primary school. Cowpea local varieties are still predominantly used in the production and manufacture of Kossai. The processing of Kossai is done in six stages from winnowing to frying. Kneading and frying are the most delicate stage which requires more attention to obtain good Kossai. Main traits of cowpea variety expected by actors of Kossai value chain are large-caliber clean, white or reddish seed coat and consistency, high yield, precocity, etc. In addition, the grains must be suitable for Kossai manufacturing process, particularly mixing and frying with golden color of the final product. Breeding program of new cowpea varieties suitable for making Kossai should consider a large number of these traits in order to increase diversity, improve and sustain nutritional quality.

This research examines the role of citizenship in law enforcement from the perspective of domestic and Islamic law, with a focus on cases in Indonesia. In the context of national law, citizenship reflects the legal relationship between individuals and the state, where citizens have the right and obligation to participate in the law enforcement process. Meanwhile, according to Islamic law, citizen participation is based on the principle of amar ma’ruf nahi munkar, which requires Muslim individuals to encourage good and prevent evil. This research employs a doctrinal legal methodology, which involves the process of identifying, analyzing, and interpreting legal principles, norms, and doctrines to address the issues at hand. The distinctive feature of this approach is its prescriptive nature, aiming to offer solutions or recommendations regarding legal problems. The methodological framework utilized is normative or doctrinal research, also referred to as library research. This type of research relies on canonical sources (doctrinal literature) and specifically involves the use of library materials such as journals, books, legal documents, religious texts, and other relevant sources. The research primarily focuses on examining and analyzing written sources to gain a comprehensive understanding of the legal issues being studied.The research results show that there are similarities in the basic concept of citizen participation. , implementation varies depending on the social, cultural and legal context. In Indonesia, the role of citizenship in law enforcement is influenced by political dynamics and public trust in legal institutions. This study recommends strengthening legal education, developing participatory technology and harmonizing national law with Islamic law as steps to strengthen the role of citizens in law enforcement. In this way, it is hoped that law enforcement can run more effectively, fairly and in accordance with the values held by society.
