However, the pandemic has ensued global crisis exacerbating deep-seating social inequalities within our societies.

    Understanding the Kamptapur Movement from A Feminist Perspective : A Study of Role and Participation of Women in the Movement for Autonomy
    (University of North Bengal, 2022-03) Arshed (Goswami), Niviya
    The paper is an attempt to understand the Kamptapur Movement of North Bengal the region from the theoretical lenses of the feminist school. It is an effort to trace how the movement which initially started with the demand for recognition and autonomy eventually has ignored and disregarded the role and importance of women leading to a gender-biased construction of identity crisis. Baking primarily on a feminist critic the paper makes a serious effort to find the research gap that was the major factors for understanding the question of identity politics of individuals and groups. Through empirical data and an extensive filed based survey and interviews the paper will try to explain that despite evidence and reports of women participation why there in almost all existing kinds of the literature we find a very narrowly narrated contribution of the women in the movement.

    Right to Fair Trial for the Victim – Changing Paradigm in 21st Century
    (University of North Bengal, 2022-03) Zahan, Momina; Singh, Manju
    The concept of fair trial is the foundation stone of any justice delivery mechanism for the prevention of miscarriage of justice. While the general concept of ‘fair trial’ should mean a ‘trial’ in which there is no biasness or prejudice against any party to trial or the cause, yet it is considered, to be the trial wherein there is no biasness against the defendant/accused only. But a trial can be fair only when the whole of the prosecution procedures has been fair-minded and reasonable, and it is extended to all the participants of the criminal justice system along with the accused. Thus, this paper attempts to investigate the scope of the concept of fair trial and observe whether it can be extended to the other players of the criminal justice system, especially the victims of crime.

    Terrorism has always haunted mankind. In recent years, terrorism has become a global issue. States are frequently becoming victims of terrorist activities. The consequence of terrorism is that it violates human rights. The attack on World Trade Centre tower, New York in September 11, 2001 has made the world consider terrorism as a matter of serious concern. At present, international terrorism is a matter of grave concern. There have been adoptions of many Conventions to deal with terrorism. However, there is a hurdle to it. This hurdle is because there is no uniform definition of terrorism.
