- Rights of a stock market: Stock market is a trading network that connects investors who want to buy and sell stocks and their derivatives. A simple way to think of the stock market is as a network of exchanges where traders and investors buy and sell shares of publicly traded companies. A global stock market encompasses all the interconnected exchanges around the world where companies issue and trade stocks, bonds, and other securities, and raise capital by selling shares to investors. It serves as a platform for companies to access capital and for investors to participate in the company’s growth and potentially generate returns on their investments. These markets allow investors to participate in the company’s growth and potentially generate returns. They are a vital part of the global economy and facilitate financial transactions. Example: The World Kingdom Crown Stock Exchange. The stock market rights include:
- Government Obligations: The government should not impose tariffs on multiple countries simultaneously, especially a major importing country. Imposing tariffs on an imported product would cause stock market crashes that would wipe out the value of stock investments and be particularly detrimental to those who depend on investment returns. A stock market crash is defined as a rapid and dramatic decline in stock prices across a broad segment of the market, resulting in a considerable loss of paper wealth. Panic selling and underlying economic reasons are at the root of these crashes. Although the collapse in stock prices can occur in a day or a year, it is often followed by a recession or depression.
- Rights issues: A rights issue is an invitation from a company to its existing shareholders to acquire additional shares. These shareholders receive securities called “rights,” which grant them the right, but not the obligation, to acquire new shares at a price below the market price for a specified period. Companies use rights issues to raise capital, often to repay debt or finance growth.
- Ownership protection: Rights issues allow existing shareholders to retain their proportional ownership interest in the company, thus avoiding dilution.
- Capital raising: Companies can use the proceeds from rights issues to raise capital, which can be used for a variety of purposes, such as repaying debt or financing new projects.
- Proportional Allocation: The number of new shares a shareholder can acquire is generally proportional to their current ownership interest.
- Discount Price: Shareholders can acquire new shares at a price below their current market value.
- Expiration Date: Rights have a specific expiration date, after which they expire.
- Trading Rights: Before the expiration date, shareholders can choose to exercise their rights, sell them on the market, or let them expire.
- Non-Obligation: Shareholders are not obligated to exercise their rights; they can choose whether or not to buy the shares.
- Dilution: If shareholders choose not to exercise their rights, their ownership interest in the company will be diluted.
- Ex-Rights: Once the rights distribution date has passed, the shares are said to be “ex-rights,” meaning that new shareholders will not receive the rights.
- Right to climate justice: the right to an equitable response to climate change, ensuring that those least affected are not disproportionately affected and that decision-making processes take into account the needs of vulnerable communities, often with a focus on human rights and the responsibility of historically high-emitting countries to support adaptation and mitigation efforts in less developed regions; this essentially means prioritizing equity and justice in climate change policies and actions. Climate justice Reduce the use of fossil fuels to mitigate climate change; Adapt to climate change; Hold corporations accountable for their role in climate change; Uphold the rights of indigenous peoples and communities; Give voice to those most affected by climate change in policy negotiations.

- The right to ceasefire: The right to an agreement that governs the cessation of all military activity for a specified period of time in a specified area. A ceasefire may be temporary with a set end date or may be intended to last indefinitely. Ceasefires can be a first step in de-escalating a conflict and can be used for humanitarian purposes, such as to deliver more aid to a conflict zone or to allow civilians to flee to safety. They can be declared unilaterally or negotiated between parties to a conflict. A ceasefire agreement or broader peace talks between parties can be reached through negotiations between parties to the conflict, during which they agree on the terms of the exchange, including the number of prisoners to be released and their identities in order to encourage their repatriation after the end of hostilities.
- The right to an armistice: the right to a formal agreement between opposing parties to end the fighting. It is a temporary measure that may lead to peace negotiations, but it does not establish peace. It may only constitute a cessation of hostilities until an attempt is made to negotiate a lasting peace.
- The right to a peace agreement: This is the right to a formal contract between the parties to the conflict that aims to end or transform the conflict. Peace agreements are often the result of international peace talks and with the parties involved in the conflict. They are publicly available documents. They are mutually agreed to by some or all of the parties involved. The aim is to protect lives and territory, to establish the terms of peace, to transform a conflict so that it can be dealt with more constructively. Peacekeeping missions are often deployed to support peace agreements and play a key role in their implementation by monitoring the activities of parties to an agreement to ensure they are complying with the agreement, facilitating peace agreements and keeping them on track, helping to build trust between communities and conflict actors, helping to organize elections and verify the voting process, protecting civilians, supporting the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of former combatants, restoring the rule of law.

- Security guarantee: includes external guarantees (like peacekeeping forces), power-sharing arrangements within the government, disarmament and demobilization programs, ceasefire monitoring mechanisms, political commitments to non-aggression, resource distribution, and economic development programs;, consultation processes with third-party states, and provisions for transitional justice to address past grievances; all aimed at ensuring the safety of parties involved and preventing a return to conflict.
- Resource sharing: Agreements often outline how natural resources such as oil and gas, minerals, or water will be distributed among different groups, with the goal of avoiding conflicts over control of resources. Create natural resource sharing agreements with countries and organisations that provided loans and grants during conflict to ease the economic burden and facilitate recovery.

International Emergency relief can be provided in response to a variety of events, including:
- Natural disasters, are events that occur naturally and can cause widespread damage and loss of life. Natural disasters can have devastating consequences on human and non-human life, and can cause death, injury, spread of disease, physical trauma, skin and intestinal infections, mental health problems, chest problems, food shortages, undernutrition or malnutrition, displacement, pollution, environmental damage, soil erosion, siltation, landslides, property damage and economic losses. Some examples of natural disasters include: earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, wildfires, Volcanoes, tsunamis, landslides, droughts, tornadoes, tropical cyclones etc.
- Wildfire: an unplanned, uncontrolled, and unpredictable fire that starts in a natural area, such as a forest, grassland, or prairie. Wildfires can be caused by natural events such as droughts, lightning, strong winds, high temperatures and human causes such as arson, neglect, land management, recreational activities.
- Earthquakes: Occur when the Earth’s tectonic plates shift, causing the ground to shake violently. Earthquakes are the result of sudden movements along faults within the Earth. This movement releases the stored “elastic stress” energy in the form of seismic waves that propagate through the Earth and cause the ground surface to shake. Earthquakes can happen at any time and without warning.
- Floods: Occur when water overflows and submerges land that is usually dry. Floods are caused by a combination of factors including: heavy rainfall, snowmelt, high tides, dam failures, human activities such as: draining wetlands, building paved surfaces, changing riverbeds, blocking sewer systems and culverts; an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, and poor planning and flood management
- Landslides: Occur when a mass of earth, rock, or debris moves down a slope. Landslides can occur suddenly or gradually and can be caused by: The force of gravity acting on a slope can exceed the strength of the slope materials, causing it to fail; Heavy rain, melting snow, or changes in water levels can weaken the slope; Earthquakes; Volcanic activity; Human activity: Deforestation, construction, and other activities can weaken slopes; Rising temperatures and thawing permafrost
- Hurricanes: are powerful tropical storms that form over warm ocean waters and have sustained winds of at least 74 mph (119 km/h). Hurricanes begin as areas of low pressure called tropical waves that move across humid tropical regions. Warm air from the ocean rises into the storm, creating an area of low pressure. Hurricanes are caused by a combination of factors, including: atmospheric disturbances; warm water at least 79°F; thunderstorms; low wind shear; distance from the equator; rotation; the Earth’s rotation affects winds in tropical regions.
- Tropical cyclones: are a rapidly rotating storm system that forms over warm tropical waters and is characterized by strong winds, heavy rain, and low atmospheric pressure. A tropical cyclone that has maximum sustained surface winds ranging from 39-73 mph (34 to 63 knots).Tropical cyclones are caused by a combination of factors, including: atmospheric disturbances; warm water at least 27°C; thunderstorms; low wind shear; distance from the equator; rotation; the Earth’s rotation and Water from the ocean surface evaporates, rising and cooling into clouds and rain.
- Volcanoes are mountains that open downward into a pool of molten rock called magma. When a volcano erupts, it releases hot gas, ash, boulders, and molten rock into the air. These materials may pour down the mountainside as lava or pyroclastic flows, or fall as rain in the form of hot ash. Volcanoes are caused by a number of factors including: plate tectonics, magma, injection of new magma, accumulation of gases inside the volcano, landslides, and hotspots
- Tsunamis: are a natural disaster that occurs when a large portion of the ocean is suddenly displaced, causing a series of extremely long waves. Tsunamis are caused by a sudden displacement of large amounts of water in the ocean, which can be triggered by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, or meteorite impacts
- Avalanches: Occur when a large amount of snow, ice, or rock rapidly flows down a mountainside. Avalanches can be caused by a number of factors, including temperature, wind, and slope.
- Droughts: Occur when a region experiences a prolonged period of dry weather, resulting in a water shortage. Droughts can lead to water shortages.

- Right to classified information is the right to information that is legally restricted to specific groups of people with the appropriate security clearance. It is considered sensitive and must be protected by the government and the justice system. Mishandling classified information can result in criminal penalties. The right to classified information is classified based on the level of sensitivity and the potential consequences of unauthorized disclosure. Here are some types of classified information:
- Top Secret: This is the highest classification level and is used when compromise of the information could cause immediate, irreparable, and serious harm to the national interest. Information classified as “Top Secret” cannot be disclosed under normal circumstances because it is considered the most sensitive level of classified information and its disclosure could cause particularly serious damage to national security, potentially leading to widespread loss of life, serious international complications, international diplomatic incidents or have a serious impact on ongoing intelligence operations. Disclosure could only take place in extremely rare situations with proper authorization and legal justification.
- Secret: This classification level is used when compromise of the information could cause serious harm to the national interest. Secret classified information can only be released under very specific circumstances, typically through a formal declassification process by the appropriate government authority, usually when the information is no longer considered sensitive enough to warrant protection and its release would not harm national security; this often involves a review process to determine if the information can be made public, and may be subject to time limitations or specific conditions depending on the nature of the information.
- Confidential: This classification level is used when compromise of the information could cause serious harm to the national interest. Confidential classified information can only be released under very specific circumstances, typically through a formal declassification process, where the information is deemed no longer sensitive enough to warrant protection, often after a set period of time, and only with authorization from the appropriate authority, usually depending on the level of classification and the potential harm its release could cause.
- Restricted: This type of information could cause serious harm if disclosed, such as financial loss, legal action, or loss of reputation. “Restricted” classified information can only be released if there is a legitimate “need to know” and the recipient has the appropriate security clearance, meaning it should not be disclosed publicly or to individuals without authorization, and its release should be carefully managed based on the specific circumstances and relevant regulations.
- Controlled: This type of information is typically accessible to a specific group of people within an organization, but may require protection due to personal data. Controlled classified information cannot be released without proper authorization from the appropriate authority, as it is considered sensitive information that requires protection due to potential harm to national security if disclosed publicly; release typically requires a declassification process and could involve specific conditions or restrictions depending on the information’s nature.
- Internal: This type of information is typically only accessible to employees within an organization. Internal classified information can only be released in very specific circumstances, typically with prior authorization from the appropriate authority and only when there is a compelling reason to do so, such as fulfilling legal obligations, protecting public interest, or when the information is no longer considered sensitive due to the passage of time (declassification) – but generally, it should not be released without proper procedures being followed.

All countries must have a credit reporting agency example: Equifax agency. Credit reports are important because they are a detailed record of a person’s borrowing history, which has a significant impact on your ability to access loans, mortgages, credit cards, rent a home, and even some jobs, as lenders and other companies use this information to assess your creditworthiness and decide whether to approve you, and at what interest rate, based on your payment history and credit score derived from your report; allowing lenders and companies to verify a person’s identity and detect suspicious activity by comparing new credit applications to their existing credit history, flagging potential fraudulent attempts if discrepancies are found; essentially, they help identify if someone is trying to open credit accounts using stolen identity information.

- Debt Collection Agencies: act as intermediaries, contacting debtors, negotiating repayment plans, and pursuing legal action if necessary to recover the outstanding debt and can charge interest, but the rate and ability to do so depend on the original credit agreement or contract, and whether a County Court Judgment (CCJ) has been issued.

- Suspect’s police interview account is the explanation a suspect gives to the police about what happened in relation to the crime they are being questioned about.
- Photography and Video recordings. If the assault or abuse was recorded, such as in the case of surveillance footage or CCTV footage, Mobile phone records, photos, the recordings may serve as compelling evidence.
- Fingerprint evidence is a forensic technique that involves comparing fingerprints found at a crime scene to those of a known individual to solve crimes.
- The court will consider many factors before imposing a sentence. The sentence for public order crimes can range from a fine to a detention and training order, conditional or unconditional discharge, community service, up to 14 years in prison. The severity of the sentence depends on several factors, including:
- The offender: The offender’s role, and planning
- The victim: The financial loss, emotional distress, or injury caused to the victim
- Age of victim: Age of the victim
- Violence: Use of violence
- Repeat offender: If the perpetrator is a repeat offender
- Acting with others to commit the offense
- Aggravating factors: Factors that increase the severity of the sentence, such as using a weapon or targeting a vulnerable victim. In cases of murder, the sentence can range from 25 years to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
- Mitigating factors: Factors that reduce the severity of the sentence, such as the offender seeking help for an addiction.
- Right against Assault crime is when someone causes another person to fear or experience immediate unlawful violence, or inflicts physical harm or unwanted physical contact on them. There are three main types of assault. The process of investigating assault crimes involves multiple steps, starting with gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses and suspects, and culminating in a court trial if the case is pursued. There are three main types of assault: Simple assault: This is when someone uses violence against another person or makes them believe that they are going to be attacked. It does not have to be physical violence. Threatening words or a raised fist are enough to commit the crime, as long as the victim believes that they are going to be attacked. Spitting on someone. Actual bodily harm: means that the assault caused injury to the victim. Physical injuries do not have to be serious or permanent, but must be more than “mild” or “transient,” meaning they must cause at least minor injury or pain or discomfort. Psychological harm may also be covered by this offense, but it must be more than fear or anxiety. Serious bodily harm/injury: means that the assault caused serious physical harm. This harm does not have to be permanent or dangerous. For example, a broken bone – in some cases, a broken bone can cause permanent disability, but in others it can heal without long-term damage. To prove an assault crime charge in court, you must report a crime to the police as soon as possible, ideally within 24 hours, and present evidence to the court to support a charge against someone, which will help the criminal justice system. The process of investigating assault crimes involves multiple steps, starting with gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses and suspects, and culminating in a court trial if the case is pursued. Penalties for public order offenses can range from a court order to a fine, conditional or absolute discharge, and imprisonment. Evidence can be presented in many forms, including:
- Victim Testimony. Your testimony as a victim is a key piece of evidence in a case. You can recount the details of the alleged assault or abuse, providing insight into the circumstances and the emotional and physical impact on you.
- Witness testimony. Other witnesses who observed your distress, interactions with the accused, or the aftermath of the incident may testify to support your claims.
- Police interview recordings: such as audio or video recordings, can help to ensure that procedural safeguards are followed and that a person’s rights are protected. They can also help to deter improper interrogation techniques and false confessions.
- Suspect’s police interview account is the explanation a suspect gives to the police about what happened in relation to the crime they are being questioned about.
- Photography and Video recordings. If the assault or abuse was recorded, such as in the case of surveillance footage, the recordings may serve as compelling evidence.
- Medical evidence: Medical records can document your injuries or physical evidence consistent with the alleged abuse.
- The court will consider many factors before imposing a sentence. The sentence for public order crimes can range from a fine to a detention and training order, conditional or unconditional discharge, community service, imprisonment. The severity of the sentence depends on several factors, including:
- Common Assault: The lowest level of assault, typically punishable by a fine, or a detention and training order, or community service, or up to three months imprisonment. (not subject to a criminal record)
- Assault by Beating: Also known as battery, with a maximum sentence of three months imprisonment and/or a fine, or a detention and training order, or community service. (not subject to a criminal record)

- Racially or Religiously Aggravated Assaults: Can lead to increased penalties, including a maximum sentence of six years and/or a fine, or a detention and training order, conditional or unconditional discharge, or community service.
- Right against Drug Crime: There are two main offences related to illegal drugs: drug possession and drug trafficking. Mini Drug possession usually involves a small amount for personal use and can be considered a misdemeanour or felony. Mini Drug possession is not the same as Drug trafficking. The police have the power to stop, detain and search people on ‘reasonable suspicion in a public place’ that they are in possession of a controlled drug. The penalty for possession depends on the quantity of the drug, and where the person and the drugs were found. Drug trafficking is a crime linked to an illicit trade involving the cultivation, manufacture, distribution, and sale of substances subject to the drug prohibition laws of countries. Cocaine, heroin and LSD are examples of classes of drugs that are prohibited or restricted. However, these examples are not exhaustive; the list is subject to additions and depends on the drugs prohibited in each country’s jurisdiction. Penalties for Mini drug possession and drug trafficking offenses can range from a warning to a court order, a fine, conditional or unconditional discharge, and imprisonment of up to 4 years for Mini Drug possession (Amount of mini drug possession described by jurisdiction of a country) and up to 14 years for drug trafficking or manufacturing. Evidence can be presented in many forms, including:
- Victim Testimony. Your testimony as a victim is a key piece of evidence in a case. You can recount the details of drug trafficking, providing insight into the circumstances and the emotional and physical impact on you or a police report if law enforcement intervened to arrest the offender without the victims and evidence that the drugs were prepared for sale, for example that they were cut into small portions and packaged separately. drug-related paraphernalia found in the suspect’s custody/control, for example scales, cutting agents, bags or packaging.
- Witness testimony. Other witnesses who observed your distress, interactions with the accused, or the aftermath of the incident may testify to support your claims.
- Police interview recordings: such as audio or video recordings, can help to ensure that procedural safeguards are followed and that a person’s rights are protected. They can also help to deter improper interrogation techniques and false confessions.
- Suspect’s police interview account is the explanation a suspect gives to the police about what happened in relation to the crime they are being questioned about.
- Photography and Video recordings. such as in the case of surveillance footage, the recordings may serve as compelling evidence and the pictures
- Digital evidence from devices like smartphones, tablets, or computers
- Other evidence: Cash
- Sentence: Penalties for Mini drug possession and drug trafficking offenses can range from a warning to a court order, a fine, conditional or unconditional discharge, and imprisonment of up to 4 years for Mini Drug possession (Amount of mini drug possession described by jurisdiction of a country) and up to 14 years for drug trafficking or manufacturing.
- Right against Espionage, or spying, is the act of gathering secret information about an organization, person, or government to be used for a malicious purpose, often involving the transfer of information to a third party. It can be committed by an individual or a group of spies, and can be carried out for a variety of reasons. Espionage is the unlawful acquisition of information through various means, including: Military espionage: One country sending spies to gather military information about another country. Cyber espionage: Hacking into a computer network to steal information. Economic espionage: The clandestine gathering of information from an economic competitor. Corporate espionage: The unlawful acquisition of proprietary information from a competitor. The punishment for espionage can vary depending on the nature of the crime. The punishment for espionage can range from a fine, conditional or unconditional discharge, up to 14 years in prison or a prisoner exchange between the states involved. The process of investigating and prosecuting espionage cases involves several stages, including police investigation, prosecution and potential court proceedings. Investigation Process:
- Initial Investigation: The police or other investigative agencies may initiate an investigation based on information received, such as tips, intelligence gathering, or evidence of suspicious activity.
- Evidence Gathering: Investigators will gather evidence, including interviews, surveillance, forensic analysis of data, and potentially searching for relevant documents or devices.
- Identifying Suspects: The investigation aims to identify individuals or groups suspected of engaging in espionage, often focusing on motive, means, and opportunity.
- Arrest and Charges: If sufficient evidence is gathered, suspects may be arrested and charged with offenses, such as obtaining or disclosing protected information.
- Trial: The case goes to trial, where the prosecution presents evidence to prove the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The defense may argue that the information was already in the public domain, that its disclosure was in the public interest, or that the defendant lacked the requisite intent.
- Sentencing: If the defendant is convicted, the court will impose a sentence. The punishment for espionage can range from a fine, conditional or unconditional discharge, up to 14 years in prison or a prisoner exchange between the states involved.
- Right not to be unlawfully deported: is a state crime committed when a person is forced to leave a country without judicial authorization or due to a miscarriage of justice resulting in expulsion or without due process. It can also include the unlawful expulsion of people from their homes during a war, without their permission, or the deportation of people to a country where they are at risk of persecution, torture or other inhuman treatment, or in which they are not legally safe or the expulsion of people because of their race without due process. The penalty for a state offense is a fine imposed by the local commissioner jurisdictional council or jurisdictional council or the King of the World. The fine may be unlimited. In certain serious cases, the judge may be notified and issue an arrest warrant on the recommendation of the King of the World. The penalty can range from five years to life imprisonment.
- Deportation ban: A person under 22, a disabled person, private and family life, and a pregnant woman; expulsion of people from their homes during a war, without their permission; expulsion of people to a country where they are at risk of persecution, torture or other inhuman treatment, or in which they are not legally safe.
- Interfering with private and family life: Deportation can be unlawful if it would seriously disrupt a person’s life, separate family members, or remove them from their home. Any rejection of a visa or residence application, asylum or human rights application by the State of a country must give a right to an appeal to the court.
- Unlawful detention: when the immigration Officer detains a person outside of the law, and deportation can be a result of unlawful detention. There are circumstances when detention can be considered unlawful, including:
- If the person does not have a passport or travel document.
- If there is no estimated time of departure for removal
- If the person is particularly vulnerable to harm in detention.
- If the person is a victim of torture or sexual or gender based violence.
- If the person has signed up to voluntary return but the government has not taken steps to return them.
- If there is a material public law error, such as failure to apply published policy.
- If the detention breaches on Human Rights. If someone has been detained unlawfully, they can bring a claim against the police, immigration officials, or other state bodies to the local representative jurisdictional council which will be followed by fines to compensate the costs of the court, the victim and the legal advice system.
- Prohibition of arbitrary detention: The prohibition of arbitrary detention, a fundamental rights principle, applies to immigrants, meaning that their detention must be lawful, based on established legal grounds, and subject to judicial review.
- Lack of Legal Basis: Detention without a valid legal basis or beyond the legally permitted duration is considered arbitrary.
- Failure to Comply with Procedural Guarantees: Failure to provide prompt notification of the reasons for detention, lack of access to legal representation, or lack of a right to appeal to a court may render detention arbitrary.
- Collective or Mandatory Detention: Automatic or mandatory detention of immigrants, without individual assessment, is considered arbitrary.
- Prolonged detention: Administrative detention without the possibility of review or appeal may be considered arbitrary.
- Expulsion for just cause: The state of a country may consider deportation
- if the person over 22 has committed serious criminal offences such as murder, acts of terrorism, drug trafficking and manufacturing, child sexual abuse, kidnapping, slave trade and a deportation order issued by the state of a country with court approval may be valid. The court may revoke the deportation order if it finds a private family connection or the best interests of the children.
- Right to lodge a complaint with the Local Commissioner’s Judicial Council: If you believe that you have been wrongfully removed, that the decision on your immigration application has been refused without right of appeal, or that you have been unfairly detained, or that the final decision of the court (High Court, Superior Court or Supreme Court) has wrongly dismissed your appeal regarding your visa, residence permit, asylum application, humanitarian protection, residence permit, naturalization or citizenship, or you were wrongfully deported and are eligible for a deportation ban ,you can appeal to the Local Commissioner’s Judicial Council.
- Right against Murder crime: A murder charge is a serious criminal charge that occurs when a person unlawfully kills another person with the intent to cause death or serious bodily harm: – The victim must be a born living, breathing human being; – The killing must be intentional and without justification or excuse; – The killing must be unlawful, meaning it is not in self-defense or other justified killing. Murder is distinguished from other types of homicide, such as manslaughter, by the element of intent, or malice aforethought. Manslaughter is a killing that is committed without malice, such as in the case of voluntary manslaughter or diminished capacity. There are several types of murder charges, including: Involuntary Manslaughter: Killing someone through criminal negligence or gross disregard for human life. For example, driving under the influence of alcohol and causing a fatal car accident is manslaughter. First Degree Murder: It is characterized by premeditated, deliberate, and planned intent. It carries the most severe penalty of all crimes: life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Second-degree murder: This may involve cases where the accused intended to cause serious bodily harm or showed extreme indifference to human life. Second-degree murder is less serious than first-degree murder, but more serious than third-degree murder. Third-degree murder: The lowest level of criminal homicide, but can still carry severe penalties. Felony murder: This is when a person is killed during the course of a crime, such as a robbery. It can be classified as first-degree or second-degree murder. To prove a murder charge in court, you must report a crime to the police as soon as possible, ideally within 24 hours, or a police report if law enforcement intervened to arrest the offender without the victims and present evidence in court to support a charge against someone, which will help the criminal justice system. The sentence for murder crimes is mandatory. The judge will set the sentence, ranging from several years’ imprisonment to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. The process of investigating a murder case begins with the initial report and crime scene assessment, followed by evidence gathering, witness interviews, and potential arrests. Evidence can be presented in many forms, including:
- Victim Testimony. Your testimony as a victim is a key piece of evidence in a case. You can recount the details of the alleged murder or a police report if law enforcement intervened to arrest the offender without the victims.
- Witness testimony. Other witnesses who observed the murder may testify.
- Police interview recordings: such as audio or video recordings, can help to ensure that procedural safeguards are followed and that a person’s rights are protected. They can also help to deter improper interrogation techniques and false confessions.
- Suspect’s police interview account is the explanation a suspect gives to the police about what happened in relation to the crime they are being questioned about.
- Photography and Video recordings. If the murder was recorded, such as in the case of surveillance footage, the recordings may serve as compelling evidence.
- Medical evidence: Medical records of your injuries or physical evidence consistent with the alleged abuse
- Others evidence: weapons or equipment used to commit murder
- The sentence for murder crimes is mandatory. The judge will set the sentence, ranging from several years’ imprisonment to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. With the exception of manslaughter, which can carry a fine of up to life imprisonment, the initial sentence depends on the circumstances of the murder, but here are some examples:
- First-degree murder: The punishment is life imprisonment without parole, but juveniles cannot be sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.
- Second-degree murder: The punishment is any term of years or life imprisonment without parole.
- Third-degree murder: The punishment is any term of years.
- Felony murder: It can be classified as first-degree or second-degree murder.
- Other factors: Factors that may affect the sentence include whether the defendant used a deadly weapon, whether the defendant is remorseful, and whether the defendant has a criminal record.
- Right against Terrorism: Terrorism is a crime linked to the use of violence, or the threat of violence, killing to achieve a political, religious, racial, or ideological goal.“Terrorism is not a sign of courage. It is a sign of cowardice. Terrorism is a horrible thing that poses the greatest threat to civilization on our planet”. There are several types of terrorism crimes, including: Preparation: Preparing to commit terrorist acts, or helping others to do so. Collecting information: Gathering information that could be useful to terrorists, or possessing documents with such information. Disseminating publications: Distributing terrorist publications with the intention of encouraging terrorism. Membership: Being a member of a proscribed organization. Funding: Funding terrorism. Failure to disclose: Failing to disclose information about terrorist acts. Possession: Possessing something for terrorist purposes. The sentence for terrorist crimes is mandatory. The judge will set the sentence, ranging from several years’ imprisonment to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. In court, proof of a terrorist crime depends on the specific offence, but some general principles include:
- Planning and Preparation: Planning, aiding, or gathering information to commit a terrorist act are all crimes. Preparation of terrorist acts is a crime that involves:
- Planning an attack, which can include: – Visit to the attack site to carry out a “hostile reconnaissance”. – Divide planning into three phases: target identification, detailed planning and confirmation
- Keeping activities hidden, such as using encrypted messaging platforms.
- Culpability: Culpability can be demonstrated by acting alone or in a leading role, or by coordinating the participation of others in a terrorist activity.
- Intent: To disseminate material that may encourage or assist terrorism, the defendant must have knowledge that the recipient would be encouraged to commit a terrorist act.
- Battlefield Evidence: Battlefield evidence can include documents collected by the military, nongovernmental organizations and other organizations. Here are some principles for using evidence on the battlefield:
- Protect the sources and methods used to obtain, analyze, or exploit information.
- Establish processes to review classified information to ensure it is necessary.
- Establish procedures to declassify information that does not need to be classified so that it can be shared.
- Burden of Proof: The burden of proof to prove a terrorist offense is on the accused.
- Arrest and Detention: Arrests for terrorism-related offenses can be made without a warrant, with the possibility of extended detention periods.

- Trials and Sentencing: Terrorism trials are conducted in the mainstream criminal justice system, with specialist courts and legal procedures.
- Planning and Preparation: Planning, aiding, or gathering information to commit a terrorist act are all crimes. Preparation of terrorist acts is a crime that involves:
- Crimes against humanity are serious offenses defined as acts committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against a civilian population. These crimes include murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation, and other inhumane acts.

- Most crimes against humanity are dealt with by international tribunals and can be appealed to the Supreme International court of Justice. The sentence for crimes against humanity is mandatory. The judge will set the sentence, ranging from several years’ imprisonment to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
- Right against war crime is a violation of the rule of law that gives rise to individual criminal responsibility for acts committed by combatants in action, such as the intentional killing of civilians or the intentional killing of prisoners of war, torture, hostage-taking, needless destruction of civilian property, perfidious deception, wartime sexual violence, pillaging, and for any individual in the command structure who orders any attempt to commit mass killings (including genocide or ethnic cleansing), showing no mercy despite surrender, conscripting children into the military, and ignoring the legal distinctions of proportionality and military necessity. Most war crimes are dealt with by international tribunals and can be appealed to the Supreme International court of Justice. The sentence for crimes against humanity is mandatory. The judge will set the sentence, ranging from several years’ imprisonment to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. There is no statute of limitations for war crimes. Investigations can be lengthy, particularly when gathering evidence in an ongoing conflict or prosecuting high-ranking leaders. War crimes can only be committed in times of armed conflict, while crimes against humanity can be committed at any time, including in peacetime. War crimes are serious violations of the international Rule of law that can occur during armed conflicts:
- Atrocities and crimes committed against any civilian population, ambulance workers, humanitarian aid workers, religious, firefighters, emergency, peacekeeping forces, etc, before or during the war.

- The use of biological, radiological, chemical and nuclear weapons against populations. Types of weapons not permitted to be used under any circumstances, such as:
- Nuclear weapons are explosive devices that derive their destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission (fission bomb) or a combination of fission and fusion reactions (thermonuclear bomb), producing a nuclear explosion. Both types of bombs release large amounts of energy from relatively small amounts of matter. The first test of a fission (“atomic”) bomb released an amount of energy approximately equal to 20,000 tons of TNT (84 TJ). The first thermonuclear (“hydrogen”) bomb test released energy approximately equal to 10 million tons of TNT (42 PJ). Nuclear bombs have had yields between 10 tons TNT (the W54) and 50 megatons for the Tsar Bomba (see TNT equivalent). A thermonuclear weapon weighing as little as 600 pounds (270 kg) can release energy equal to more than 1.2 megatonnes of TNT. Examples of types of nuclear weapons that are not permitted for use: B43 nuclear bomb, B57 nuclear bomb, B61 nuclear bomb, Blue Peacock, Nasr (tactical nuclear missile), W25 (nuclear warhead), W33 (nuclear weapon), W80 (nuclear warhead), W85 (nuclear warhead), Little Boy uranium-core gun-type atomic bomb, Fat Man plutonium-core implosion-type atomic bomb, Tsar Bomba, Neutron bombs, etc,
- Chemical weapons are specialized munitions that use chemicals formulated to cause death or injury to humans. They can be any chemical compound intended for use as a weapon “or its precursor that can cause death, injury, temporary incapacitation or sensory irritation through its chemical action. Munitions or other delivery systems designed to deliver chemical weapons, whether loaded or unloaded, are also considered weapons themselves.” Chemical weapons are classified as weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Examples of types of chemicals weapons that are not permitted for use: Zyklon B gas, Sarin, Phosgene, ricin, novichok, VX, uranium-235 and plutonium-239, etc,
- Radiological warfare weapons are any form of warfare involving deliberate radiation poisoning or contamination of an area with radiological sources. Radiological weapons are normally classified as weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), although radiological weapons can also be specific in whom they target, such as radiation poisoning using radioactive polonium-210, etc.
- Biological weapons are pathogens used as weapons. In addition to these living or replicating pathogens, toxins and biotoxins are also included among the bio-agents. are normally classified as weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) that are used to kill or harm humans, animals, or plants by releasing disease-causing organisms or toxins. Biological weapons can include: Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi, Toxins, and Rickettsiae. They are a subset of unconventional weapons and can be used in bioterrorism, biowarfare, or biocrime. Biological weapons can be spread through a number of ways, including: Aerosol sprays, Explosive devices, Food or water, and Absorption or injection into the skin. Some examples of biological weapons agents include: Anthrax, Botulinum toxin, Plague, Smallpox, Tularemia, Viral hemorrhagic fevers, Ebola and Marburg etc,
- Blinding lasers: Laser weapons specifically designed to cause permanent blindness.
- Explosive remnants of war: Parties that have used cluster bombs in combat are required to help clear any unexploded remains.
- Mines, booby traps, and other devices: This includes anti-personnel mines, which are mines specially designed to target humans rather than tanks.
- Non-detectable fragments: weapons specially designed to shatter into tiny pieces, which aren’t detectable in the human body. Examples are fragmented bullets or projectiles filled with broken glass.
- Incendiary weapons: Weapons that cause fires aren’t permitted for use on on civilian populations or in forested areas.
- The process for investigating war crimes and crime against humanity involve several stages, from initial reporting to potential prosecution. Allegations are typically reviewed by specialized units, and if deemed credible, investigations are conducted. Evidence is gathered, including witness testimony and material evidence, and a decision is made on whether to pursue charges. Here’s a more detailed look at the process:
- Initial Reporting and Screening:
- Allegations of war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and torture are often referred to specialized units within law enforcement agencies.
- Other police forces may also refer allegations to these specialized units.
- The decision whether to open an investigation is made on a case-by-case basis, taking into account factors such as resources, the current threat level, and the demands of the investigation.
- Investigation:
- Specialized investigators collect evidence, including witness statements, physical evidence, and social media posts.
- Investigations may involve collecting and reviewing various types of evidence, interviewing individuals, and seeking cooperation from various entities.
- The Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court or the Supreme International Court of Justice also conducts investigations by collecting and reviewing evidence, interviewing individuals, and seeking cooperation from states and international organizations.
- Decision to Prosecute:
- The Prosecutor’s Office is responsible for prosecuting war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and torture. It also makes its decisions independently of the government and decides whether to prosecute based on the evidence gathered during the investigation.
- Prosecution and Trial:
- If the International Criminal Court Office or the supreme international court of justice Office of the Prosecutor believes there is sufficient evidence to establish an individual’s responsibility for a crime within the Court’s jurisdiction, it may request an arrest warrant or a summons to appear.
- The the International Criminal Court and the supreme internal court of justice relie on states to make arrests and transfer suspects to the ICC or the supreme international court of justice.
- The pre-trial phase includes initial appearances, during which judges confirm the suspect’s identity and ensure they understand the charges. The trial phase requires the Prosecutor to prove the accused’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
- Appeal and Enforcement of Sentences:
- Both the Prosecutor and the Defense have the right to appeal the Trial Chamber’s decisions. Sentences are served in countries that have agreed to implement the ICC, and the ICC’s final decision or sentence may also be appealed to the Supreme International Court of Justice.
- Initial Reporting and Screening:
- The Rule of law is a foundation for peaceful, equitable, and prosperous societies. The principle of accountability means that when we make mistakes, we want to be informed and correct them. This requires a willingness and ability to learn from our mistakes and take responsibility for what we do with personal data and how we comply with the other principles.
- The Principle for a prosperous life: The Lack of basic necessities, health, discrimination, natural and man-made disasters, climate change and conditions for economic, education, social welfares, security, cultural and political development. These factors can trap individuals and communities in poverty and limit their access to social services.
- The principle of action requires a favourable action plan and power to combat all these challenges.
- Therefore, The Royal Family of the Kingdom of the World, The Governing Council, the Jurisdictional Council/The local commissioner Jurisdictional Council, the Secretariat Council, the Economic and Financial Council, as well as the International Court Inspectors, the Supreme International Court of Justice and honorary royal families Council, the Emergency defence and Relief Council are vested with the powers to implement, apply, administer, and execute in all countries the activities and objectives conferred on them by this charter of
- His Majesty THE KING OF THE WORLD/ King of Justice Evrad Kameugne Kounchou.

Credit report agencies provide an easily accessible database of personal information, including potential victims’ credit scores and details of existing credit lines, which can be used to identify targets and perpetrate identity theft by allowing them to easily access the information needed to apply for credit in someone else’s name. Debt collection agencies identify and remove fraudulent accounts from the collection process. This helps focus resources on accounts that are more likely to be paid. A National Fraud and Cybercrime Reporting Center is a centralized organization where individuals can report cases of fraud or cybercrime they have been victims of, allowing law enforcement to collect and analyze this information to identify trends and investigate possible criminal activity. A reliable postal system can prevent scams, phishing, financial ruin, reputational damage, loss of confidence in the system, legal repercussions and serious psychological distress, particularly when people are wrongly accused and prosecuted. They also facilitate the proper functioning and integrity of the financial and commercial market.

- Implement a new system of tax-backed loans in all countries. An individual will also be considered a resource, just like material resources such as equipment or financing. Individual resources can refer to a country’s workers and their potential to contribute to taxation and economic growth. Taxes are levied in almost every country in the world, primarily to finance government spending, social development, social security benefits, constructions buildings, healthcare, and others. This new system, implemented in all countries, will allow governments countries to apply for a loan to build their country, improve their social protection, and overcome poverty and collection will be done through the country taxation system. Commentary: The lack of natural resources is also a major cause of conflict and war, exacerbating environmental degradation, destroying livelihoods, and harming human health, which can compromise rights guaranteed by the rule of law. The implementation of this new system of tax-backed loans, which values human resources through their contribution to society, will reduce and end most conflicts worldwide. Resources, both natural and human, are fundamental to economic growth. They are the inputs used in the production of goods and services, and their availability and efficient use directly impact an economy’s ability to expand.
