Mandatory Principles of Law and Delocalized Arbitration in International Commercial Arbitration
Mandatory rules denote those rules of law that parties cannot derogate from. These are rules which in appropriate cases supersede the proper law with the result that their provisions, override the will of the parties. It does not matter whether the applicable law is ascertained by reference to an express stipulation or by reference to the forum with the closest connection. It typically regulate matters in which the “interest of the state is too important for them to be in competition with foreign laws” or the will of the parties and it includes those aspects of public policy, which because they reflect the basic social and economic philosophy of a state, are framed in an imperative manner. These include currency and exchange regulations, boycotts and blockades, competition, and environmental protection laws. One of the limitations on party autonomy within a national legal system is that overriding laws of the forum may override the law chosen by the parties. Freedom of choice (autonomy of will) is a general principle of private international law and is to be respected in principle, it should operate within the limits imposed by such other equally important general principles of law or subject to any restraints of public policy. The theory of delocalization is a mode of detaching international commercial arbitration from legal system of the forum. One main purpose of delocalization is to eliminate the unintended effects of certain arbitration tribunal conducting arbitration seized with hostile features of the law of the place where the arbitration is held. Therefore armed with an arbitral power to make interim award basically for protection and preservation of the res, pending the final award. In Nigeria delocalized arbitral award can be refused on the grounds of non-compliance with the mandatory rules and public policy by the arbitral tribunal. The Arbitration and Conciliation Act

Law Enforcement in the Kenyan Cyberspace: Legal and Forensic Challenges
The growth of the internet has created numerous opportunities for Kenyans. The last quarter of 2016/2017 financial year, 11.9 million people had access to high-speed internet. Kenya lacks a proper legislative framework to protect the internet consumers from cybercriminals and crypto-anarchists. Kenya is also yet to implement the African Union Convention on Cybercrime and Data protection. The law enforcement agencies in Kenya have struggled to keep up with the policing demands of the digital era. The Kenyan Cybercrime Investigators usually face a steep learning curve because hackers are usually discovering ways to carry out their attacks with little or no detection. The anonymity of the internet spurred by the existence of programs such as the tor browser and tails operating system make it difficult for the law enforcement agencies to enforce the law in Kenya. The lack of a comprehensive legislation on cybercrime creates Nullum crimen disparities that hinder the cross-border investigations of cybercrime. Cybercrime-investigators in Kenya have only been able to successfully prosecute the hybrid cybercrimes that involve traditional offences aided by the use of ICT. Cybercriminals operate with impunity in the Kenyan cyberspace because of the limited expertise and low funding of the Cybercrime Unit in Kenya. The windows OS handicap coupled with jurisdictional barriers, encryption, obfuscation and high evidential threshold in admitting electronic evidence, have led to very low conviction rates of cybercrime offenders in Kenya.

The Comparative Study of Right to Defend in Iran Law and International Criminal Courts
The right to defend is one of the most sacred rights of human which guarantees rights and freedoms of individuals. In fact, recognition of the right to defend for society members against infringing their rights and freedoms is very necessary. Because the right to defend in its deep and expanded concept means "applying the reasoning ability and power of words by using legal instruments to eliminate attributed accusation in the presence of the judicial authorities". Maintaining social order and defending the society rights is limited and balanced with protecting the rights of the accused ,so the defense of the interests of society shouldn't be led to ignorance of the rights of the accused. When a person is charged with a crime, he is in danger of being deprived of freedom and he may sustain other prohibitions . Nowadays the defense rights of accused are one of the important principles of fair trial, as well as, in international and regional documents the rules and regulations of the country are considered and supported.

Competition Law and Intellectual Property Rights Conflicts
Developed countries apply some controls directly to protect national security, concerning persons` or certain countries` access to specified technologiesSimilarly, they apply indirect supervision on the types, amount and channels of technology transfer to certain countries through currency exchange regulations, taxation and foreign investment. Developing countries also keep technology turn under their own control in order to ensure that technology transfer contracts and the economic objectives and policies of the government are consistent. In technology-transfer contracts (license contract), one type of various intellectual property rights is transferred The exclusivity of intellectual property rights is one of the most striking examples of exclusivity which is granted to special people and for certain period; so that in the certain period, they themselves, or their own selected people or their representatives benefit from the issue of intellectual property . The reason why these exclusive rights are granted is that the issues of the rights are used by the common people without special protection (patents). The variety of intellectual products and their utilizations in diverse fields of industry, commerce, science, literature and art have made such issues important. Hence, demand for these products either from the government or private sectors always exists. The owners of intellectual property market their products due to such requests and also to observe their own investment, therefore, obtain incentives for more activities and innovation in today`s knowledge-based economy (in which just those societies are successful that own high creativity and technical ability for their consumers` welfare). Accordingly, either they themselves use them or totally transfer them to another person or sometimes (with preserving their property on such rights) they give others solely a license to use them. The recent form of using intellectual property rights (namely to conclude license contracts) allows license-givers (with preserving their property on technology) to develop their own technology and enter the global market.

Remand In Ethiopia: A Critical Legal Appraisal
Pre-trial detention of people on remand is against the very fundamental human rights of an individual as those peoples are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Under the criminal procedure code of Ethiopia and other laws an individual appearing before the court to face charges is entitled to a presumption in favor of bail unless he is charged with an offence which falls in the scope of article 63 and 64 of the code. Detained persons do have also the right to be brought before the court of law within 48 hours and have a fair and public trial. However, the courts have used their stretched discretion to manage people via custodial remand before testing the evidence produced against them. The standard of the evidence that can be relied up on to justify remand to custody is vague and apparently uncontrolled by the principle of presumption of innocence which goes against the spirit of the FDRE constitution and other international human rights instruments. Hence, this article concludes that remand is the battered right.
