There are many reasons why more and more people are being displaced each year. This paper will discuss in detail the condition of those IDPs who attained such character because of violence or war. It further goes on to describe the legal framework for IDPs. Apart from UN Guiding Principles and constitutional guarantees, there is no specific law that deals with IDPs. The Study suggested that the authorities should provide them with all their basic needs and work tirelessly to make their return to their homelands possible. Furthermore, the paper will analyze the challenges faced by IDPs in accessing education and employment opportunities, which further hinder their ability to rebuild their lives. Additionally, it will explore the importance of international cooperation and humanitarian aid in addressing the needs of IDPs and finding durable solutions for their displacement.","PeriodicalId":495359,"journal":{"name":"Current Trends in Law and Society","volume":"99 23","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139612382","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 aims to prevent courts from reviewing decisions made by public functionaries. As the roles and functions of public functionaries expand in a welfare state, the implementation and interpretation of ouster clauses become increasingly intricate. For an ouster clause to be effective, the intention to exclude judicial oversight must be either explicitly stated or clearly implied within the statute. Yet, the idea of a total exclusion from judicial review, especially concerning administrative actions, is widely considered unattainable. Superior courts consistently assert that absolute ouster is an alien concept in jurisprudence. In contemporary times, review of numerous judicial precedents shows that they have developed their own principles to address ouster clauses, and though they exhibit variations, but they present similar reasonings in their objective of governing, limiting, or permitting the use of ouster clauses. In this research, an attempt will be made to delve into an examination and present an overview of the principles established by the courts in England, India, and those expounded by the superior courts in Pakistan regarding ouster clauses.","PeriodicalId":495359,"journal":{"name":"Current Trends in Law and Society","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135081480","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 growing integration of AI systems into our everyday lives necessitates a heightened focus on comprehending and protecting the fundamental right to privacy within the context of the digital era. This abstract commences by outlining the fundamental principles of the right to privacy and artificial intelligence (AI), thereby establishing a fundamental comprehension of the essential components involved. The subsequent analysis explores the manner in which artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are altering established conceptions of privacy. The utilization of AI-driven techniques for data collection and analysis, encompassing facial recognition, biometric identification, and predictive analytics, has generated apprehensions regarding the potential infringement upon individual privacy. The increasing proliferation of artificial intelligence poses a range of prospects and obstacles for the preservation of the right to privacy. As the development of AI technologies progresses, it becomes crucial to establish a harmonious equilibrium between leveraging the advantages of AI-driven advancements and protecting the fundamental rights to privacy of individuals.","PeriodicalId":495359,"journal":{"name":"Current Trends in Law and Society","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135059614","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}
