The study recommended that personal information processing management framework is required to aid the critical industries in understanding how personal information can be processed in line with the requirements of the Act. The study recommended that a wider variety of enforcement strategies should be used apart from the persuasion and warning letters issued to who do not comply.","PeriodicalId":38248,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Law and Policy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76623642","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}
{"title":"Multi-Party Litigation in Tanzania: A Case for Class Action Suits","authors":"N. Kitonka","doi":"10.47604/ijlp.1863","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47604/ijlp.1863","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: In suits involving numerous parties, legal technicalities are involved. Such suits call for special litigation devices. Multiparty litigation devices in Tanzania can take different forms such as joinder, next of kin, representative suits and class action suits. However, representative suit is currently the main means of handling claims for compensation involving large groups of similarly affected victims. \u0000Methodology: This study carries out an appraisal of the legal framework in Tanzania concerning multiparty litigation devices. It is shown that too strict an adherence to same interest and locus standi requirements in Tanzania makes multiparty litigation devices too restrictive. In addition, multiparty litigation devices for group actions are not clearly provided for. \u0000Findings: Litigation devices have a great potential of helping parties to realize effective right to remedy. In order for litigation devices to effectively play that role, they should be friendly, timely and affordable. Similarly, such devices should be properly managed and clearly provided for under legislations. \u0000Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Currently, a representative suit in Tanzania is interchangeably used both in public interest litigation and group action. In order to guarantee proper management of group actions, a case for class action rules is made. Indeed, a call for reform of the legal framework is recommended in this study to the effect that class action rules should be enacted in form of regulations or under a specific legislation.","PeriodicalId":38248,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Law and Policy","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73497510","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 has forced the northern herders down south in search of green pastures and on the farms of southerners who depend on these crops for a living. The resultant incessant clashes, this time with more sophisticated arms and weapons, take their toll in lives and property. The major problem envisaged in this work is the erroneous belief by the Federal Government that the proposed establishment of cattle colonies - Rural Grazing Areas (RUGA) - and National Livestock Transformation Programme (NLTP) will curb the farmer-herder crises. \u0000Methodology: The study used doctrinal method of research which involve review of existing literature \u0000Findings: Major findings in this work include that Nigeria has joined very elite countries in the world in enacting climate change laws encapsulated in the Nigeria Climate Change Act, 2021. Effective implementation of this Act therefore remains the nepenthe to the farmer-herder crises in Nigeria. \u0000Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommends that the Nigeria Climate Change Act should be fully implemented so that the farmer-herder crises can capsize.","PeriodicalId":38248,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Law and Policy","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81287769","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 article explores Uzbekistan's policies and preferences regarding the development and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The study examines the country's national strategies and regulatory frameworks for AI, as well as the challenges it faces in realizing its AI ambitions. The analysis reveals that Uzbekistan sees AI as a key enabler of economic growth, social development, and modernization, and aims to become a regional leader in AI by 2030. To achieve this goal, the government has launched several initiatives, such as establishing AI research centers, promoting entrepreneurship and innovation, and investing in digital infrastructure. However, the article also identifies several obstacles, such as a lack of skilled workforce, limited funding, and ethical and legal concerns. The study concludes by providing recommendations for how Uzbekistan can address these challenges and strengthen its AI ecosystem.","PeriodicalId":38248,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Law and Policy","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82462867","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 article discusses the rapidly growing impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the business world, and the regulatory challenges that have arisen as a result. The rise of AI has brought about both opportunities and risks, with the potential to revolutionize various industries and improve processes and decision-making. However, the use of AI also raises concerns regarding ethics, privacy, and accountability, and highlights the need for clear and effective regulation. The article explores the current state of AI regulation and the challenges that governments and businesses face in balancing the benefits and risks of this technology. It also provides insights into how AI regulation may evolve in the future and the steps that organizations can take to stay ahead of the regulatory curve.
