“Fake News” or Misinformation can be categorized as one of the deadly plagues of this digital global world, as it poses a threat to democracies. It can impede reforms, generate misleading narratives, and potentially cause social unrest in the society. As a result, countries have taken measures to counteract the spread of digital misinformation- ranging from task force bodies to legislations. The Coronavirus Pandemic has accelerated this trend, prompting governments to become more vigilant of the dissemination of fake news. However, this has also sparked a trend for governments to stifle freedom of expression and suppress opposition. India has a susceptibility for the rapid propagation of fake news and rumours, with a large number of social media users on all platforms. Therefore, India will need to adopt measures to tackle it. In this paper, we have focused solely on the legislations introduced by various countries and have discussed their implications. We have also emphasised the positive and negative aspects, outlining what measures India should take to prevent fake news. India should attempt to strike a balance between the government's interests and the interests of the people by allowing considerable freedom of expression.

After the referendum, on the 8th of November, 2006, the Assembly of the Republic of Serbia promulgated the currently valid Constitution of the Republic of Serbia. However, from the moment of its adoption, this Constitution was subjected to a great deal of criticism. Even the manner of its adoption was disputed. Currently, there are numerous demands for its amendment. Political parties in Serbia also more or less agree that the current Constitution should be amended, especially in the light of European integrations. Most frequently heard objections are to the provisions regarding the too high number of deputies in the Parliament, the content of the preamble, provisions regarding judiciary, the matter of regionalization etc. This paper reviews and provides a short commentary on certain provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia, which we deem necessary to be pointed out when debating this matter. Particular focus is placed on certain normative solutions which we believe are not adequately regulated, i.e. those provisions we believe should be altered in order to adapt this supreme legal act to the intentions of Serbia to become a full member of the European Union, and which are at the same time in the interest of the citizens of Serbia.

The study continues the presentation of the jurisprudential evolution of the constitutional court, from the acknowledgement of the legal norm’s unconstitutionality to the acknowledgement of the unconstitutionality of the legislative solution promoted through the said norm, with precise reference to the field of substantive criminal law. The constitutionality control transcends the strict framework of the limitations of the referrals addressed to the Court, aimed at removing from the legislative system those provisions which resume the legislative solutions acknowledged as being unconstitutional. Thus, it is emphasized not only the sanctioning effect upon the norm constituting the subject matter of the exception of unconstitutionality, but also the preventive effect of the constitutionality control, through the legislator’s impossibility to resume the legislative solution declared unconstitutional, with the exception of the situation in which a change of the social and economic context takes place.

Provisions to a dignified end to life definitely must be a concern that our constitutional founders had in mind while framing the foundation of our nation. The term "Palliative care" was coined much later. The WHO defined palliative care as "an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problems associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial, and spiritual”. The Government of India formed a committee in 2006 to create a national policy for palliative care. However, even after the being hit by Corona times, the National Policy for palliative care has not seen the light of the day. In view of the above, the study aims to explore Palliative Care under the provisions of Article 21 and other fundamental rights; it aims to interrogate the aspect of ‘dignity’; the role of the Government; evolution of the field through judicial proceedings; legal position in other jurisdictions of the world and an urgent need to reinforce “Palliative healthcare” in India.

L'étude traite la problématique de la liberté d'expression dans un contexte complexe, juridique, philosophique, politique, conjointement avec d'autres principes et droits fondamentaux, tels que l'égalité et la liberté individuelle. De ce point de vue, la conclusion de l'étude est que l’usage politique, en général, mais surtout médiatique, de la liberté d’expression présente beaucoup d’aspects problématiques par rapport à notre modèle référentiel de la démocratie politique, libérale et juridique. Or, le destin global de notre système dépend du bon équilibre entre la démocratie collective et les libertés individuelles; entre le politique et le juridique.
