Courts play a key role in safeguarding a nation's environment by interpreting constitutional provisions related to environmental protection and other legislative frameworks. The effectiveness of a country's environmental protection is contingent on the assertiveness, creativity, and innovation of its judiciary in interpreting laws, policies, and regulations designed for environmental preservation. The widely held belief is that the judiciary, more than any other institution, is best positioned to adjudicate, inform, guide, and lead in environmental protection. A proactive, inventive, and inspirational judiciary motivates the executive and legislative branches to implement pertinent environmental laws, policies, and regulations. This study utilizes a doctrinal research methodology to comprehensively review and compare the environmental protection frameworks in Nigeria, India, and Canada. The focus is on constitutional provisions related to environmental protection and judicial interpretations, particularly in the context of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) laws. While explicit constitutional provisions on environmental protection are absent in Canada, India, and Nigeria, the courts in India and Canada have demonstrated creative interpretation of their constitutions to safeguard the environment. Notably, in India, environmental protection falls under the non-adjudicable Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP).","PeriodicalId":292299,"journal":{"name":"Lex Scientia Law Review","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139276473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, as many as 24,052 regulations at the level of Ministries, Agencies and State Institutions have the potential to overlap regulations and become subject to judicial review in the Supreme Court. The definition of Delegated Legislations in Indonesia is interpreted as limited to regulations whose legal construction is made by the executive, as long as formal legal norms still give the authority of delegation in the field of legislation to implement higher regulations. This paper found 3 models of structuring Delegated Legislations in the hierarchy of laws and regulations in Indonesia, namely: 1) Hierarchical model based on the legal basis of institution formation; 2) Hierarchical model based on the position of the institution; and 3) Hierarchical model based on the source of delegated authority in forming rules.","PeriodicalId":292299,"journal":{"name":"Lex Scientia Law Review","volume":"17 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139279608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study finds that although these countries have laws that provide legal protection for children, the implementation of these laws faces several challenges. In Indonesia, despite the existence of various regulations that protect children from economic exploitation, child labor remains a significant problem. The lack of enforcement of labor laws and a lack of awareness of children’s rights among the community contributes to the persistence of child labor. In Vietnam, the legal framework on child labor is relatively comprehensive, and the government has made significant efforts to eradicate child labor. However, child labor still persists in some rural areas due to poverty, cultural traditions, and a lack of education. In the Philippines, the government has implemented various measures to protect children from economic exploitation, including the Child Labor Law and the Anti-Child Trafficking Act. However, the implementation of these laws is hampered by a lack of resources, corruption, and limited awareness among communities. In conclusion, the study finds that the legal protection for children victims of economic exploitation in Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines faces various challenges. These include the lack of enforcement, cultural traditions, poverty, corruption, and limited awareness among communities. Addressing these challenges requires concerted efforts from governments, civil society, and communities to ensure that children's rights are protected effectively.","PeriodicalId":292299,"journal":{"name":"Lex Scientia Law Review","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139288073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research intends to analyze the contractual obligations in financing with fiduciary security within the context of justice in Indonesia. The research revealed that financing with fiduciary security in Indonesia presents several justice-related issues. Firstly, there is an imbalance of power between the fiduciary giver (creditor) and the fiduciary receiver (debtor). The fiduciary giver tends to hold a stronger position in executing fiduciary security, while the fiduciary receiver may face difficulties in protecting their rights. Secondly, consumer protection or debtor protection in financing with fiduciary security is still inadequate. Although there are regulations in place governing debtor rights, their implementation remains limited. This can lead to injustice for financially vulnerable debtors who are unable to fulfill their payment obligations. Thirdly, dispute resolution regarding financing with fiduciary security tends to favor the fiduciary giver. Lengthy legal proceedings and high costs can impede debtors from achieving justice. Moreover, the lack of understanding and awareness among the public regarding their rights in financing with fiduciary security can also be problematic.","PeriodicalId":292299,"journal":{"name":"Lex Scientia Law Review","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116603927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
