In China, since the introduction of privacy rights from the West, the protection of privacy rights has been focused on civil law, while the protection of privacy rights in legislation and judicial practice in other branches of law has only been superficial but not in-depth. The effect of civil law on the protection of privacy rights is undeniable, especially after the introduction of the Civil Code, which provides more thorough and complete regulations on privacy rights in the field of civil law. However, with the development of society, relying on civil law alone to protect the right to privacy has become a challenge. The protection of the right to privacy of public figures is even more lacking. For example, the case of Li Yundi’s prostitution, which was publicly reported by the Beijing Chaoyang Public Security Bureau on 21 October 2021, reveals the loopholes in the protection of privacy and the privacy of public figures in China. Firstly, civil law in China has been effective in protecting the right to privacy, but in this case, the right of public security to disclose Li Yundi’s private life involves the infringement of citizens’ privacy by public power. Secondly, in China, public figures are often involved in the public interest, and it is the consensus of the academia and society as a whole that anyone in conflict with the public interest should give way to the public interest. However, in judicial practice, the author believes that it is unfair to treat public figures and ordinary citizens differently in terms of privacy rights when the public interest is not seriously endangered. Therefore, this article aims to analyse the current status and shortcomings of the legislation and judicial practice on the protection of the privacy of public figures in China on the basis of the right to privacy and the privacy of public figures, and to draw on the advanced experience of other countries in order to establish and improve the privacy protection mechanism of public figures in China.","PeriodicalId":377631,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Law and Justice","volume":"11 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":"125622216","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 found that these rights are claims arising from service contracts, but they have the characteristics of property rights. This is the same as the theory of “materialization of claims”, which is contrary to the theory of dichotomy of property and debt.

The common person is supposed to have space to determine how they wish to be governed. Kenya’s constitution provides that all sovereignty belongs to the people. And that such sovereignty can be exercised either directly or indirectly through elected representatives and established institutions. With respect to constitutional amendments, the people can participate through either a popular initiative or a parliamentary initiative. Both routes could eventually require the direct participation of the people through a referendum. In some other jurisdictions, amendment of the constitution is a preserve of the legislature. In others, reference is always made to the common person. In Kenya, the law is not clear on ‘who’ can initiate an amendment to the constitution through the popular initiative. The common person in Kenya is poor; can’t afford necessities of life like food and healthcare; and to some extent, forms a large segment of the illiterate population. The common person relies on the benevolence of the elite and is easily influenced by them to even vote in a certain way. This situation would appear to make the concept of democracy a mirage. This paper examines the place of the common person in various attempts at amending the 2010 Constitution. It is argued that though the common person is legally empowered to participate in constitutional amendments, the reality is that it is the epistographs who determine such constitutional changes. Recommendations on improving the level of participation of the common person in constitutional amendments are postulated to include continuous and enhanced ‘awareness’ seminars as well as improving underlying social conditions such as access to food, health and education.","PeriodicalId":377631,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Law and Justice","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130953083","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 is accountable to the nation to protect its indigenous technology by strengthening its legal footing. Nepal, being a member of the World Trade Organization, is bound to develop a legal framework for the protection of intellectual property. Hence, the country has updated the laws related to IP within the Constitution, Acts, and Rules. There are an increasing number of legal conflicts arising regarding intellectual property in the courts of Nepal. The paper deals with the decisions forwarded on IP-related cases by the Supreme Court of Nepal. In the context of Nepal, an issue or complaint related to IP is initially filed at the Department of Industry as per the prevailing legal provisions relevant to IP. If the settlement is not confined to the department, then the case is forwarded to the District Court. The district-level court settled most IP-related legal cases in Nepal. Further, if the district-level court does not settle the case, it is then appealed to the High Court (then the Appellate Court). Few IP-related legal cases have reached the jurisdiction of Nepal’s Supreme Court, where they have been quashed on appeal, upheld lower-level court judgments, or even upheld or defended the decision of the Department of Industry or the Copyright Registrar’s Office. Nevertheless, given the dynamic nature of the business environment, the court of law should also go for amicus curiae for a better understanding of the crimes and to give a proper judgment on IP-related cases. At the same time, the government of Nepal needs to enact the necessary acts to show a commitment to the promise made in an international arena like the World Trade Organization.","PeriodicalId":377631,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Law and Justice","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131367948","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}
