THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE RULE OF LAW AND SOCIAL JUSTICE IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETIES

The rule of law, as one of the fundamental pillars of a justice-oriented governmental system, plays a crucial and significant role in the realization of social justice. This concept emphasizes that all individuals, including governmental authorities, must be subjected to the same, clearly defined laws, with no one being exempt from accountability or punishment. In order to secure social justice, the effective enforcement of laws, adherence to principles of equality and proportionality, and their application across various judicial, executive, and governmental spheres is essential. This research aims to address the question of whether the rule of law has a direct and impactful effect on the realization of social justice in contemporary societies. A law-abiding state, functioning according to transparent and just laws, can contribute significantly to the realization of social justice. The core principles of the rule of law encompass the limitation of power, the supervision of governmental authorities, and access to an independent judiciary, all of which must be implemented within the framework of valid legal sources. Furthermore, the alignment between legal frameworks and social norms, the respect for both individual and collective rights, as well as access to fair trials, are indispensable components for achieving social justice. Ultimately, the rule of law, alongside legitimate legal resources, particularly in democratic and human rights-based systems, can foster the enhancement of citizens' rights and freedoms, contributing to the establishment of a just and sustainable society.

CONSCRIPTION AND USE OF CHILD SOLDIERS AS A WAR CRIME BY THE HOUTHIS IN YEMEN

This paper examines the alarming practice of child soldier recruitment by the Houthi movement in Yemen’s ongoing armed conflict, highlighting the widespread and systematic nature of this war crime. The study focuses on the methods used by the Houthis to recruit children, some as young as eight years old, for both combat and auxiliary support roles. It delves into the devastating physical, psychological, and social consequences these children face, including injuries, permanent disabilities, and long-term trauma such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The objective of this research is to analyze the recruitment and use of child soldiers by the Houthis, framing these actions as clear violations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and human rights conventions, such as the Geneva Conventions, the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The methodology employs a qualitative approach, utilizing reports from international human rights organizations, UN documentation, and eyewitness testimonies to assess the scope of these violations. The study aims to raise awareness about the unlawful use of children in armed conflict by the Houthis and the broader societal impact on Yemen. The findings indicate that the Houthi movement systematically violates international law by conscripting and deploying child soldiers. In conclusion, the paper calls for urgent international action, including legal accountability, child protection policies, and comprehensive rehabilitation programs for former child soldiers.

WAR CRIMES AGAINST WOMEN: THE CRISIS IN GAZA – PALESTINE

The ongoing war in Gaza has subjected women to grave violations, including sexual violence, forced displacement, indiscriminate attacks, and denial of essential services. These acts breach core principles of International Humanitarian Law (IHL), including the Geneva Conventions, Additional Protocols, and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). This study employs a doctrinal and interdisciplinary methodology to examine war crimes committed against women in Gaza through a gender-based lens, grounded in international legal and human rights frameworks. Despite existing legal protections for civilians, women in Gaza continue to suffer disproportionately, enduring physical harm, psychological trauma, and heightened economic vulnerability. This research explores documented violations, the erosion of international accountability, and the urgent need for effective global intervention. It also investigates humanitarian consequences such as the destruction of health infrastructure and disruption of social support systems, which compound women's suffering. Drawing on reports from judicial authorities and human rights organizations, the study highlights the failure to prosecute perpetrators and the inadequacy of current protection mechanisms. These gaps demand stronger legal enforcement, increased humanitarian support, and greater international advocacy. Urgent action is essential to prevent further abuses, ensure justice for victims, and reinforce protection for women in armed conflict zones like Gaza.

PRINCIPLES AND MECHANISMS OF EXTRADITION IN INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW

In order to effectively combat various forms of transnational and international crimes, the global community has intensified judicial cooperation and mutual legal assistance at the international level. One of the most significant forms of such cooperation is the extradition of offenders, which is carried out based on bilateral or multilateral agreements or in accordance with regional and international conventions. Linguistically, extradition refers to the act of reclaiming, requesting the return, or sending back an individual. In legal terminology, it encompasses a series of measures undertaken to return a criminal from the country of residence to the country where the crime was committed. As crime rates increase, offenders attempt to evade punishment by fleeing abroad, seeking refuge in another country to escape prosecution for their crimes. The practice of extradition has a long historical precedent, evident across various periods, including ancient, medieval, and modern times. The issue of extradition is governed by specific rules and regulations, encompassing legal principles, procedural mechanisms, and associated challenges.
