Law making procedures and law operating system for Business in nepal
The document discusses the legal environment for business in Nepal. It outlines the main sources of law, which include legislation passed by the legislative body, judicial precedents from court decisions, treaties between nations, and some ordinances and regulations passed by the executive body.

Rules are guidelines that apply specifically to participants in an organized activity, like a sport. Laws are rules established by government that everyone in a society must follow. The key differences are that laws apply to all, are enforced by courts, and have formal consequences for breaking them, while rules are more optional and have less serious consequences. Both rules and laws are needed to maintain order and prevent chaos.
Law as an instrument of social change
The document discusses how law can be used as an instrument of social change. It notes that as societies change over time, new situations will arise that require the legal system to adapt accordingly to allow for peaceful change through legislation and judicial development. Specifically, the document outlines how certain harmful customs in India like sati, child marriage, and female infanticide were legally abolished through acts like the Sati Regulation Act and Child Marriage Restraint Act. However, it also notes that while social legislation can be based on social norms, laws alone cannot initiate change in social norms or values - people must internalize new legal norms for legislation to effectively create social change.

The document discusses key aspects of the inquisitorial and adversarial legal systems.
The inquisitorial system is used in countries like France where the judge takes an active role in investigating facts, questioning witnesses, and compiling evidence. In contrast, the adversarial system used in countries like Australia employs a passive judge who oversees a contest between opposing parties.
Some key differences are that the inquisitorial system does not presume innocence, allows a wider range of evidence, and uses a panel of judges and lay assessors for criminal decisions. The adversarial system places the burden of proof on the prosecution and relies on cross-examination of witnesses in court.

The many meaning of the Rule Of Law- Constitutional Law
The document discusses the many meanings and interpretations of the rule of law concept historically and across different legal and political systems. It outlines the emergence of rule of law from ancient Greek doctrines of rule by man to its modern conception distinct from rule by an absolute ruler. Formal theories developed by Dicey are criticized for being too narrow. Rule of law is linked to but not determined by democratic institutions and can be abused without protections for minorities. East Asian interpretations emphasize rule by law under the political leadership rather than individual rights. Ongoing debates examine relationships between legal orders and political realities.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

- 3. The countries that we are going to discuss are: Algeria, Lebanon, Lybia and Kuwait Each of the four countries we are discussing has established its own governance structure where power is divided in such way that ensures a good governance of the country. People who are in top positions and who have power are the ones that should ensure that justice is for everyone; these different structures combined together make up the “Government”. Governments consist of legislators, administrators, and arbitrators in an administrative bureaucracy which controls a state/country at a given time, and the system by which they are organized. A government is the means by which state policy is enforced, as well as the mechanism for determining the policy of the state. A form of government, or form of state governance, refers to the set of political institutions by which a government of a state is organized. Synonyms include "regime type" and "system of government". Throughout this presentation we are going to demonstrate if democracy is affected in any ways by law and justice of its country, if yes, how law and justice affect democracy. Introduction:
