This is not to claim that women have never before taken part in governance or politics at any level. Information reveals that there were great women in the past that ruled and dominated kingdoms but currently the statistics rather that grow has nosedived. Accordingly, this paper reiterates that the Sustainable Development Goal 16 recognizes women’s political participation and aims to achieve responsive, inclusive, participatory, and representative decision-making at all levels by 2030. In light of this, this paper attempts to discuss the extent of women’s political participation in Nigeria and offers solutions to their apathy. The paper concludes that the government should, as a matter of policy, make deliberate efforts to ensure that women are actively involved in politics and government because there cannot be an inclusive society without women participation.","PeriodicalId":393726,"journal":{"name":"Law & Political Review","volume":"822 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129810373","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}

One of the major objectives of the competition act is to ensure that the concentration of economic power does not reside in the hands of a few affluent business houses. In a bid to fulfill this objective, the Competition Act of 2002 prohibits parties from entering into anti-competitive agreements. This is done to ensure smooth market functioning and protect the interests of the consumer. Therefore, parties to an agreement, although possess the freedom of trade, they cannot enter into an agreement that might be anti-competitive in nature.","PeriodicalId":393726,"journal":{"name":"Law & Political Review","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126474006","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 outbreak which initiated in December 2019, has been reported to have spread across six continents of the world in just a single quarter. The UAE like many other developed countries of the world is trying its best to curb any further spread of the novel virus. Unfortunately, some sectors of the society have taken this situation to work in their vital interest to fulfil ulterior motives, while some others, due to the oblivion of the UAE law get jeopardized by the same token. This negligence on part of several people may turn costly. Hence, I as a lead author on UAE laws decided to research the entire scenario and provide certain plausible legal solutions to our valuable audience. The regulations of the UAE have drastically been amended during the current pandemic of COVID-19, enabling loads of revisions to existing laws. One of the most important issues during the lockdown has been to regulate food supplies and garner stocks. This has been an ancient practice but was never instituted under the prevalent laws of the UAE, as there was never a need for such an occurrence. Ever since the outbreak of COVID-19, as the UAE went under a complete lockdown, changing the world of all residents in a dramatic way. This book covers significant discussion on the impact of the pandemic on all walks of life including but not limited to education, health care, employment, trading, court procedures and many more. At Amazon Inc, we are trying our level best to apprise the public of the latest developments in various sectors due to the outbreak of the pandemic. Nonetheless, a disclaimer for the audience about these rules and regulations may be altered through the process of time.","PeriodicalId":393726,"journal":{"name":"Law & Political Review","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122551187","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}
