Through doctrinal methodology, the study analyses the legal framework for the IDPs’ protection in the selected countries vis-a-vis Shari’ah jurisprudence. The study finds that Myanmar focuses on land acquisition as the major tool for addressing IDPs’ issues in the country; Ukraine adopts principle of non-discrimination in addressing the plights of the IDPs; Azerbijan focuses on poverty tackling and social right guaranteeing in their legal framework for the protection of the IDPs’ rights; Turkey adopts compensation approach towards solving different problems confronting the IDPs with stiff criticism; Sudan addresses the right issues faced by the IDPs through the principle of return, resettlement and reintegration in compliance with Kampala Convention; and Somalia focuses on the exploration of both national laws and international instruments with a view to solving numerous right issues being contended with by the IDPs. The study finds that Shari’ah jurisprudence is committed to the plights of the IDPs. The study identifies the common lapses in the selected countries and thus recommends the tackling of the root cause of armed conflicts by governments.

- ItemCHALLENGES IN THE DISCHARGE OF STATE OBLIGATIONS ON EDUCATIONAL RIGHT OF CHILDREN DURING COVID-19: NIGERIA AND ETHIOPIA IN FOCUS(Vishwakarma University, 2021) Ahmed A. Muhammed-MikaaeelCovid-19 has metamorphosed into a deadly pandemic across the universe since its outbreak in December, 2019. It continues to threaten human existence and particularly children who are vulnerable by their very nature. At a point, it interrupts children’s right to education across the universe. Efforts of governments towards discharging their obligations on educational rights of children under the laws met series of challenges. Nigeria and Ethiopia, like their counterparts across the globe, resorted to total lockdown and stay at home as part of the measures to contain the spread of Covid-19. This has consequently impacted negatively on the educational right of children in the two countries. Against the foregoing backdrop, this paper, relying on doctrinal method of legal research, seeks to examine the challenges in the discharge of State obligations on educational right of children during Covid-19 using Nigeria and Ethiopia as a case study. The paper x-rays the extent of the effect of Covid-19 on the children’s educational right in Nigeria and Ethiopia by investigating the adequacy or otherwise of the various measures put in place by the governments to cushion the effect of the pandemic on the children’s educational right. The paper also examines the various challenges faced by the governments in the two countries while discharging their obligations towards educational rights of the children. The paper concludes that the efforts put in place by the two governments to cushion the effect of Covid-19 on the educational right of the children were inadequate. For future purpose, the paper recommends, amongst others, provisions of adequate facilities in educational institutions and adequate training of teachers in technical-know-how required for virtual learning at period of lock down.

Corporate managers now realise that veil of incorporation no longer serves as hiding place for them to avoid consequential personal liability. The corporate legal framework in Nigeria does not only recognise the corporate legal personality of duly incorporated companies but also gives credence to lifting of corporate veil by the court in deserving situation. This study is essentially literature based and, upon the foregoing background, investigates the instances warranting lifting of corporate veil by the court in Nigeria and England with particular emphasis on the relevant legal frameworks in the two countries and draw lessons for Nigeria from English experience. The study argues that Nigeria has a robust legal framework for lifting of corporate veil in deserving situation and recommends adequate enforcement for effectiveness.
