Abstract Sex education for children does not imply that children are responsible for their own safety, but rather that children should be provided with protective, effective, and interactive education that builds resilience and reduces their vulnerability to sexual harm. As a result, it is critical to provide a secure atmosphere for children at school, where they spend the majority of their time. Sex education curriculum for the prevention of child sexual abuse will seek to give children the knowledge and skills needed to recognize and prevent probable sexual abuse scenarios. The primary school sex education curriculum will be founded on the ideology of empowering children and the concept that care is an integral aspect of child care and protection. The Ministry of Education should determine the need for sex education in primary schools to prevent sexual abuse of children, support it, and include it in the curriculum. This curriculum’s purpose should be to build and maintain a proactive environment that protects children by preventing sexual abuse or assuring early detection, intervention, and reporting.

Abstract The present work approaches the legal institution of the restructuring of budgetary claims from the perspective of the procedure to be followed by the tax debtors interested in agreeing on the need to extinguish their budgetary claims with the desire to avoid the insolvency of the company. We bring up that the restructuring of budgetary claims was thought so as to offer a helping hand, especially to large companies in a situation of major financial difficulty. This present study aims to provide a synthetic picture of the steps to be followed in order to successfully complete this procedure. For this, the procedure is divided into three stages, namely the pre-stage, the procedure itself and the completion of the procedure. The acts to be performed at the pre-stage refer to the notification of the restructuring intention, the restructuring plan and the prudent private creditor test. The stage itself of the restructuring starts with the submission of the application to the tax authority, which will be settled by it either with a decision approving the restructuring or with a decision rejecting it, or with a decision approving a payment facility. Once the restructuring is approved, it will be carried out in accordance with the restructuring plan, under the supervision of the persons designated for this purpose. During its development, the restructuring process may undergo changes that will materialize either in the modification of the restructuring plan or in the modification of the payment facilitation decision, if such a facility has been approved. Whether there is a change in the restructuring process, or not, once it has started, it will have to be completed. If the restructuring plan is successfully implemented, the fiscal debtor’s budgetary claims will be extinguished and he will be able to go on with the economic activity for which he was established. If, however, the restructuring plan fails, the tax debtor risks being subject to forced execution by the tax authority, or even to request its insolvency, which could lead to the cessation of its existence.

Abstract A decision of the Constitutional Court, which declared the unconstitutionality of art. 164 of the Civil Code, which regulated the protection measure of placing under interdiction, offered the lawmaker the opportunity to rethink the protection measures of the natural person that involve restricting or increasing one’s capacity of exercise. The new regulation proposed by Law no. 140/2022 brings with it both protection measures to which people with intellectual or psychosocial disabilities can appeal in the conventional means - legal aid and the warrant of protection - as well as protection measures for people who are found to have a deterioration of the mental faculties – legal advice and special guardianship - the establishment of which is given to the competence of the court with the amendment that the court is free to choose the measure of protection that best corresponds to the vulnerable person’s concrete needs, being able to configure its content so that the measure of protection to be adequate to the circumstances in which the person finds oneself and the restriction of own freedom to be proportional to the severity of the effects that this deterioration of the mental faculties of the vulnerable person causes to that person’s psychological abilities.

Abstract This paper aims to analyze the legal nature of concessionaire and PPP contract in Albanian Legislation and through the perspective of European legislation analyzing mainly the Italian and French legislation and doctrine in this area. The main hypothesis that this paper aims to address is related to the fact, if it is enough to categorize these kinds of contracts with a hybrid status between public and private law, or the fact that so many countries appellate more and more to the concessionaire and PPP contracts is the momentum to create a separate law discipline as so many universities in France, USA, Japan do. Also, this paper aims to make a comparative study of Albanian legislation in the area of concessionaire and PPP contracts with the European legislation being the fact that for Albania this is a new area, and is a considerable lake of doctrine and legal studies that analyze the specifics and characteristics of such kind of contracts, putting at the last instance not only the Albanian contractual authorities but also the national courts in difficulties of implementation and interpretation.

Abstract To encourage taxpayers to voluntarily disclose their illegal tax acts such as tax evasion and evasion and perform their tax obligations, the tax authorities implement tax voluntary disclosure to encourage them. Tax voluntary disclosure not only increases fiscal revenue, improves the information management ability of tax authorities, but also improves the tax compliance of taxpayers. The United States, Germany, and Australia have all established tax voluntary disclosure systems, and have gained some experience. The Tax Collection and Management Law is being revised, and it is also intended to establish the rule of law for tax voluntary disclosure. Based on China’s tax practice and drawing on the advanced experience of other countries’ tax voluntary disclosure laws, this article attempts to provide suggestions for improving China’s relevant legal systems: (ⅰ) clarify the applicable situations of permanent and temporary tax voluntary disclosure; (ⅱ) Provisions on strengthening early communication between tax authorities and taxpayers; (ⅲ) Standardize the content of voluntary disclosure by taxpayers, including supplementing and correcting information that was not reported or not truthfully reported in previous years, and disclosing tax related information such as overseas financial accounts, assets, offshore structures, etc. as required; (ⅳ) Provide for voluntary disclosure of the legal consequences of tax violations, namely, making up the tax owed and paying the tax interest incurred due to delayed tax payment, but with administrative and criminal liability concessions; (ⅴ) Strengthen the construction of supporting systems, mainly including the protection of taxpayers’ tax related information and the strengthening of tax law enforcement.

Abstract Individuals have a right to their images, meaning that they can decide on permitting having their photos taken or published. Therefore, the consent of the person who is the subject of an image must be obtained for photography or publication. This right, however, is not absolute and without exceptions. People have the right to know what is happening in their community. As a result, if a photo is taken of someone and published for information, it is not necessary to insist upon obtaining consent. Several legal systems allow the imaging of others for informational purposes. However, in such cases, the privacy and dignity of people must be observed, and no one is permitted to publish images insulting or contrary to the public/personal internet. Also, images must not be used for business purposes. In the Iranian legal system, the freedom of the press (principle 24 of the Constitution) and the importance of public interest and its priority over private interests (principle 40 of the Constitution) convey the same idea that the principle is to allow publishing images for informational purposes.

Abstract The relevance of this study is due to the lack of an effective mechanism to combat domestic violence in Ukraine and an insufficiently effective system of prevention and protection against domestic violence, which creates an atmosphere of impunity and leads to the spread of this phenomenon in Ukraine. The purpose of the article is to analyze the genesis of legal regulation of domestic violence in Ukraine and determine the problems Ukraine faces during this process. The article dwells on the historical aspect of domestic violence phenomena and considers former legal regulations of it. The article also reveals some problems deriving from the historical aspect of combating domestic violence, which is still in place nowadays. Their detrimental impact on combating domestic violence is as well considered.

Abstract In 2019, the Romanian legislator regulated for the first time, in the content of O.G. no. 6/2019, the legal institution of the restructuring of budgetary claims on the establishment of fiscal facilities. After that, a series of successive normative acts were adopted, meant to prolong the effects of the initial normative act, but also to bring new and necessary clarifications to the content of this legal institution and the procedure for its development from the moment of initiation until the final extinguishment of its effects on the public budget and the patrimony of the involved budgetary debtor. As we have already shown in the content of the present paper, the analysis of the way in which the restructuring of budgetary claims is regulated has allowed us to draw a series of conclusions concerning this legal institution: a. the restructuring of the budgetary claims is a relatively new legal institution that has been adopted through a normative act other than the Fiscal Procedure Code, which it does not, directly and explicitly, amend or supplement, but indirectly by the fact that it can interfere in the conduct of the fiscal procedure, as well as by the fact that it refers to fiscal law institutions regulated by the Fiscal Procedure Code and which thus bears substantial changes; b. the restructuring of the budgetary claims is essentially different from the other forms of financial support established by the provisions of the Fiscal Procedure Code and in particular from the payment facilities designed to provide the budgetary debtor with a grace period in order to obtain the funds necessary to extinguish by payment his obligations to the public budgets. It is also different from the cancellation of tax claims established by the Fiscal Procedure Code because it becomes applicable when the collection of tax receivables becomes useless, inefficient, or impossible. c. although it differs from the rescheduling and adjournment of payment, or the cancellation of tax claims, however, in regulating the restructuring of budgetary claims, the legislator appeals to them themselves, in the form in which they were established in the provisions of the Fiscal Procedure Code.d. the local tax authorities have the right to decide (they are not obliged by law to do so) if they use this legal institution, in the process of collecting the debts due to the budgets they manage;e. in terms of content, the restructuring refers to any kind of budgetary claim (due to the general consolidated budget), in connection with which enforceable titles have also been issued (i.e. the claim has become certain and demandable).

Abstract The prosecutor is an individual who on behalf of the Government carries on criminal prosecution against the guilty person and in the court with the mandate of society and supports the State Prosecution. The main aim of the prosecutor is the find out such objective and indisputable evidence, which will help the court to make the right and fair decision. The present article according to the qualitative research method focuses on the history, stages of development, and current functions of the prosecutors. Based on this, it became clear how effective and productive the prosecutor’s participation in the court is and, in general, how independent the prosecutor is in the performance of his or her functions and what are similarities and differences in different countries prosecutor’s independence, roles, and responsibilities. As the study highlighted the International Prosecutor should have exclusively such rights, as investigation and implementation of criminal persecution against specific persons. Apart from these restrictions imposed by the legislation, of course, substantive importance is given to the global situation in the world during the prosecutor’s activities.

Abstract Legal education is the method for preserving the rule of law, which is the fundamental premise upon which contemporary nations political and legal underpinnings are built. Legal thinking skills are one of the primary characteristics required of legal practitioners. It is also emphasized in legal education as a primary goal. In Pakistani law schools, the notion of legal reasoning is frequently addressed but rarely articulated. However, in Pakistani law schools, the actual teaching of a skills method approach to legal reasoning as a process and a concept has rarely been properly described. Legal reasoning is not included in the LLB curriculum, which is a fundamental flaw in the legal education system. Legal reasoning will provide law students with a skill that will help them to secure their careers and may be used in a variety of disciplines. This paper will argue that the existing LLB curriculum in Pakistan needs to be reformed and legal reasoning should be included as a subject.
