This presentation gives a detailed explanation of the two branches of International Humanitarian Law. This also underlines the supplementary sources of IHL.
This presentation discusses the rights of parties to a conflict to adopt methods and means of warfare at their choice while also highlighting their limits in this regard.
Law of war is that part of international law that regulates the resort to armed forces; the conduct to armed forces and the protection of war victims in both national and international conflict; conflicting occupation; and the relationship between conflict, neutral and non-conflicting states
The International Criminal Court (commonly referred to as the ICC or ICCt)
is the world's first permanent, international judicial body capable of bringing
perpetrators to justice and providing redress to victims when states are unable or
unwilling to do so.1
Set of rules generally regarded and accepted as binding in relations between states and between nations. International Law serves as a framework for the practice of stable and organized international relations. International law differs from state-based legal systems. International law is primarily applicable to countries than to private citizens. International Law is consent-based governance - a state member of the international community is not obliged to abide by this type of international law, unless it has expressly consented to a particular course of conduct.

veryday tasks in better or more convenient ways. For example, OpenTable.
com is a website that allows users to make restaurant reservations online and
now covers most of the United States. If you’re planning a trip to Boston, for
example, you can access OpenTable.com, select the area of the city you’ll be
visiting, and view descriptions, reviews, customer ratings, and in most cases
the menus of the restaurants in the area. You can then make a reservation at
the restaurant and print a map and the directions to it. The basic tasks that
OpenTable.com helps people perform have always been done: looking for a
restaurant, comparing prices and menus, soliciting advice from people who are
familiar with competing restaurants, and getting directions. What OpenTable.
com does is help people perform these tasks in a more convenient and expedi-
ent manner.
Another aspect of technological advances is that once a technology is cre-
ated, products often emerge to advance it. For example, the creation of the
Apple iPod, iPhone, iPad, and similar devices has in turned spawned entire
industries that produce compatible devices. For example, Rokit is a high-end
mobile accessories company that makes smartphone cases, headphones,
portable USB device chargers and Bluetooth speakers. Rokit wouldn’t exist
if it weren’t for the advent of the smartphone industry. Similarly, there are
a growing number of start-ups working on smartphone apps. An example is
Ubersense, the subject of the You Be the VC 5.2 feature. Ubersense has made
a smartphone and tablet app that allows athletes, coaches, and parents to
shoot video of an athlete’s move or competition, and then analyze the video in
a variety of ways.
Political Action and regulatory Changes Political and regulatory
changes also provide the basis for business ideas. For example, new laws often
spur start-ups that are launched to take advantage of their specifications. This
is currently happening as a result of the passage of the Affordable Care Act
(Obamacare). The combination of new regulations, incentitives for doctors and
hospitals to shift to electronic records, and the release of mountains of data held
by the Department of Health and Human Services (on topics such as hospital
quality and nursing home patient satisfaction), is motivating entrepreneurs to
launch electronic medical records start-ups, apps to help patients monitor their
medications, and similar companies.9
On some occassions, entire industries hinge on whether certain govern-
ment regulations evolve in a manner that is favorable to the industry. For ex-
ample, there are several start-ups poised to commercialize the use of drones,
or Aerial UAV’s. Drones can be used for a number of domestic purposes, such
as helping farmers determine the optimal level of fertilizer to place on crops
or helping filmmakers shoot overhead scenes. Amazon.com created quite a bit
of buzz in late 2013 when it suggested it would like to use drones for package
delivery. As of spring 2014

PRECEDENT AS A SOURCE OF LAW (SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Precedent, or stare decisis, is a cornerstone of common law systems where past judicial decisions guide future cases, ensuring consistency and predictability in the legal system. Binding precedents from higher courts must be followed by lower courts, while persuasive precedents may influence but are not obligatory. This principle promotes fairness and efficiency, allowing for the evolution of the law as higher courts can overrule outdated decisions. Despite criticisms of rigidity and complexity, precedent ensures similar cases are treated alike, balancing stability with flexibility in judicial decision-making.

Victims of crime have a range of rights designed to ensure their protection, support, and participation in the justice system. These rights include the right to be treated with dignity and respect, the right to be informed about the progress of their case, and the right to be heard during legal proceedings. Victims are entitled to protection from intimidation and harm, access to support services such as counseling and medical care, and the right to restitution from the offender. Additionally, many jurisdictions provide victims with the right to participate in parole hearings and the right to privacy to protect their personal information from public disclosure. These rights aim to acknowledge the impact of crime on victims and to provide them with the necessary resources and involvement in the judicial process.
A "File Trademark" is a legal term referring to the registration of a unique symbol, logo, or name used to identify and distinguish products or services. This process provides legal protection, granting exclusive rights to the trademark owner, and helps prevent unauthorized use by competitors.
