What is Climate Change?

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns.

Artificial intelligence examples today, from chess-playing computers to self-driving cars, are heavily based on deep learning and natural language processing.

VIETNAM – KEY PIECE OF AMERICA INDO-PACIFIC PUZZLE

In International Relations, there is no permanent friend of permanent enemy, but permanent interests

In international relations, strategic turnarounds are not uncommon, and are in fact embedded in the very tapestry (arrangement) of anarchical (radical) structural realities.

Yet, even by those standards, the immediacy and scale of the volte-face (U-turn) in relations between the United States and Vietnam since the Cold War has been remarkable.

THE BHARATIYA NYAYA SANHITA NEEDS A RELOOK

Recently, the Central government introduced a few new offences in the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Bill to deal sternly with terrorism-related crimes and organised crimes. It is feared that some terms in the Bill may be challenged as they are vague.

It is important that the offences in any penal law are clearly defined. Those who administer the law must know what offence has been committed so that arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement does not occur.

In Shreya Singhal v. Union of India (2015), the Supreme Court held Section 66A of the Information Technology Act as unconstitutional. It found the term “grossly offensive” in the Section to be vague and devoid of precision.

09 September 2023

An overhaul, the criminal law Bills, and the big picture

The New Bills:

The central government introduced three Bills in Parliament in August. Called the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023 and the Bharatiya Sakshya (BS) Bill, 2023.
