Aim: The primary goal of this research study is to clarify and identify the provisions related to the formation and registration of commercial companies in Afghanistan's statutory law for readers, particularly businessmen. Methods: The doctrinal research methodology and descriptive, explanatory, and analytical research approaches are used in this work. It is worth mentioning that this research study is entirely based on library sources. Results: The study found that the rules and regulations related to the formation and registration of commercial companies are simply and clearly mentioned in Afghan law. In many cases, international standards have been observed on the basis that businessmen can easily establish companies. In the Afghan commercial code, there is no explanation regarding the registration and formation of the cooperative companies. However, there is a special code related to cooperative companies, and all topics related to cooperative companies are discussed in that law. Furthermore, different special conditions and principles apply during formation of each type of commercial companies as stipulated by Afghan commercial codes. Conclusion: The study concluded that commercial companies are divided into five types in the Afghan commercial code. Recommendation: The study recommend Ministry of Commerce and relevant agencies to develop public awareness programs for investors regarding Afghan laws. Most businessmen do registration and formation of companies through third parties who are not very informed about relevant principles. This method may cause conflicts between the partners.

Purpose: Humanitarian intervention and the responsibility to protect have been at the centre of debate in the UN, among states and civil societies. The failure of the International Community to use military force to intervene in the case of Syria and the ongoing atrocities in Ukraine has weakened the enthusiasm that was kindled by the authorized use of force in Libya. This paper aimed at critically examining the situation in Russia-Ukraine in order to propose a way forward for the protection of civilians in Ukraine through humanitarian intervention. Methodology: To this end, the paper recalls the responsibility to protect bestowed on States and the International Community, evaluating the positive impacts of humanitarian intervention in Kosovo and Libya. Adopting a purely doctrinal research method, this paper questions why the international community is reluctant in using military intervention in the Russia-Ukraine situation in order to protect civilians, curb human rights violations and maintain peace and security. Findings: The study found out that the fear to trigger war in the whole of Europe and the fact that Russia is a permanent member of the Security Council with veto power have weakened this enthusiasm to intervene. Conclusion: The study concludes that there is necessity for humanitarian intervention to protect civilians in Ukraine by NATO and other States. Recommendation: This study recommends the use of the majority voting system in decisions to apply humanitarian intervention instead of the veto system. The study also recommend that permanent members of the Security Council who are involved in gross violation of human rights like Russia should be suspended and eventually removed as a Permanent member if violations persist.

Purpose: In every legal system worldwide, may it be the common law system, the civil law system, or the Islamic legal system, the legislation or the law-making is not the same and it differs a great deal. This research is conducted to prove that the Afghan legislative system is very distinctive in terms of legislation and has certain principles, resources, and professional entities for effective legislation or law- making. Moreover, the legislation or the law-making system is considered a scientific, technical, and professional process in the legal system of Afghanistan. The current legislation system in the country paves the way for prosperity and development of the legal system so that justice and social welfare on the one hand and the rule of law on the other hand are implemented more than before. Methodology: The doctrinal research methodology and a descriptive, explanatory, and analytical research approach were used in this work. Findings: This study showed that most of the Afghan academicians and legal scholars believe that the current Afghan legislation system is entirely based on technical, scientific, and professional means which on the one hand open the way for social development, welfare, and prosperity and on the other hand the rule of law is implemented. Conclusion: Most of the Afghan legal scholars and academicians suggest having excellent laws and following them are really essential. However, the drafting of laws requires a well-organized process in order to have good governance and rule of law in Afghanistan. Recommendations: This study recommends that while the Afghan government require to enact a law, it must first determine the need for the law, suggest it to the legislative body, who will then draft and pass the law. Furthermore, for a desirable and effective result, the Afghan government should pay more attention to the implementation of a particular law.

Purpose: This paper examined the uptightness of the legal practice in Nigeria as evident in extant provisions of the legal practitioners’ rules of professional conduct which prohibit non-lawyers from the practice of law in Nigeria. It is however, posited that it would be rather reasonable, beneficial and dignifying to borrow a leaf from other climes where the practice of paralegals-persons trained in law and law practices and/or under the guidelines provided by relevant bodies of Bar Associations in these different jurisdictions, is in vogue. Methodology: This work adopts doctrinal, descriptive, prescriptive and analytical research methods. Findings: This work found that most lawyers in their write-ups expressed general apprehensions that the introduction of the practice of paralegals would open the floodgate of competition and more sharp practices in the legal profession. Conclusion: Most lawyers suggest that the practice of paralegals should not be encouraged in Nigeria. However, some others welcome the concept provided that the practice of paralegals is well regulated and streamlined. Recommendations: Nevertheless, this paper recommends, among other things, that while the envisaged regulations for the practice of paralegals is welcomed, there is a need to consider the entire concept dispassionately. This should be with a view to assessing its potentials in terms of its capacity to ameliorate the inherent occupational stress arising from the ever-increasing workload usually rummaged through, distilled and discerned by lawyers, in the performance of professional duties to their clients. This, therefore, will elongate the lifespan of legal practitioners vis-a-vis appropriate individual and corporate life insurance policies in place, with attendant improved productivity and financial freedom both to the paralegals and qualified lawyers in view.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of personality traits and political efficacy on electoral outcomes among selected female parliamentary contestants during general elections in Angola. Methodology: It used purposive and snowball sampling methods. Data was collected using the BFI and PES Scales. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze participant’s demographic information. A One-way ANOVA was used to examine differences while a Chi-Square was used to examine associations between successful and non-successful contestants. Findings: The study found a positive association between external efficacy and electoral outcome χ2 (2, n=42) = 8.04, p = .005. An ANOVA yielded no significant difference in extraversion between successful (M = 4.18, SD = 1.00) and non-successful (M = 0.519, SD = .519) participants (F (1, 40) =.984, p = .327); no significant differences in neuroticism between successful (M = 2.00, SD =.54) and non-successful (M = 1.99, SD =.533) participants (F (1, 40), .005, p = .946); no significant difference in openness between successful (M = 3.89, SD =.563) and non-successful (M = 3.72, SD =.734) participants (F (1, 40), .717, p = 402). Conclusion: In conclusion, the study found personality traits and political efficacy judgments as able to determine electoral outcomes. It was evident that external and internal political efficacy associated with electoral success and moderate the effect of personality traits. Recommendation: The study proposed that female political aspirants should seek personality assessment and counselling to enhance self-understanding, harness the strengths of their personality trait and manage its weaknesses and they should nurture personality traits and political efficacy judgements that enhance their connection and favor with the electorate.
