Two universities of Multan District and their selected faculties was the limit for this study. Total sample of 379 was taken through simple random sampling technique. A questionnaire was developed for attaining the stipulated goals of study. Regarding different aspects of social support, the questionnaire was based on four factors and 40 statements. Factors Family’s social support, the society’s social support, friend’s social support, and social support coming on individual welfare were made by keeping in view the relationship of these with students’ academic achievement. The data was collected personally, and questionnaire was administered, through a five-point Likert type scale. Data were tabulated and analyzed by computing regression analysis-test, frequency count and percentages and mean score methods. The analyses consist on demographic information, standard regression model for finding relationship, t-test for comparing responses and statement/factor wise analysis for finding more influential factor regarding delivery of social support. Findings of study revealed that friend’s social support has an insignificant relationship with students’ academic achievement. Results also revealed that students residing in urban areas have more social support as compared to students residing in rural areas. On the factors: friend’s social support, family’s social support, or society’s social support, the highest mean score was on the factor of social support from family. Moreover, the difference in responses to these factors was insignificant.","PeriodicalId":292498,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law & Social Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130830838","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}

They become victims of torture, persecution, molestation, biological attacks, enforced prostitution, slavery, and rape. These are the frequent crimes whose commission takes place during a conflict mostly when the territory has been occupied by the forces of an adversary state. These crimes are chiefly committed by the subordinates, as the commanders would not participate in the actual combat in many instances. In International Criminal Law, the doctrine of command responsibility plays an imperative role, in determining and prosecuting the perpetrators of these crimes. According to ICL, “A Commander shall be held criminally responsible for the acts of his subordinates if he had the effective control and was in the authority to punish or prevent them”. However, according to Islamic principles, “a leader shall be held liable for the acts of those whom he led”. The aim of this research is to compare the concept of command responsibility in Islamic Law and ICL. In addition, it examines the different perpetrators' prosecution modes under ICL and Islamic Law. It will further inquire into the status of subordinates in both Islamic Law and ICL. This research paper will be based on doctrinal research methodology. The data would be collected from international treaties, conventions, and sources of Islamic Law.","PeriodicalId":292498,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law & Social Studies","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126129214","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}

It was the developing concern of Western electronic and print media to discuss the various issues related to Pakistan and mainly politics, international relations, society and culture were stressed upon.

For this reason, the data got from the following newspapers the Telegraph, the Guardian, the New York Times & the Washington Post for the three specific months. The findings revealed that overall negative impression was found in American and British newspapers regarding Pakistani society, culture and media. Pakistani culture was attributed with patriarchal, male chauvinistic with blend of conservative’s tribal norms; extremism, rigidity, violent behavior and religious fanaticism. Women were shown as living in shabby conditions and they were deprived of their fundamental rights. The issues of crime against women, especially in the countryside about domestic violence, acid burning, and abused rape were highlighted. However, softer tone was depicted for pro-Western, liberals’ individuals, NGOs and other elements as compared to the right-wing groups which received more negative frames. Overall the negative issues related to natural disasters, over population, corruption, mismanagement, poor human rights, pervasiveness of conservative’s rightwing groups, and insecurity for journalists dominated the coverage.","PeriodicalId":292498,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law & Social Studies","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129318743","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}

It would be a great loss for the ones who live a lifestyle contrary to the commands of their Creator and get deprived of the great rewards that He has prepared for the successful ones. There are certain people about whom it is mentioned in the ahadith of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم that they would be the ones who would not even smell the fragrance (or perfume) of Paradise. It is accordingly very important to identify all the reasons that lead to this outcome and avoid them in our lives. With this objective in mind, we have surveyed hadith literature to identify all narrations that are linked to this topic. As a result, twenty-five types of actions and behaviors have been identified and reported in this paper.

They provide a variety of services such as combat services, logistical support, operational support, intelligence, border monitoring, and providing security guards in exchange for monetary compensation. During armed conflicts workers of these military companies can violate international law, including provisions of international humanitarian law. Under the international humanitarian law, the individual criminal responsibility exists to be applied on the employees of these firms, but the international legal framework is unable to identify the liability of these private military companies. Especially, the idea of criminal corporate liability for these companies is nonexistent. This research paper proposes that the idea of corporate criminal responsibility should be introduced at the state level, with the goal of holding Private Military Companies accountable for breaches of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights Laws. In addition, it is also argued that the special regulations are required to govern private military companies.","PeriodicalId":292498,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law & Social Studies","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115270196","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}

On the other hand, the other group of experts would argue that simultaneous application and interplay of IHL and IHRL is not possible as one is Lex Specialis and the other is Lex Generalis.
