Lately, there was a face-off between chieftains in Africa and the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the indictment sitting African heads of state. Former Sudanese leader Omar al Bashir and the President of Kenya and his Deputy were indicted by the ICC for crimes against humanity committed in their countries. Following their indictment, the African Union (AU) made a representation to the ICC to suspend their trials while their term in office subsisted. This request was turned down. A similar request was made to the Security Council and was also rejected. In response, the AU decided to stop any form of collaboration with the ICC. It argued that sitting heads of state enjoy immunity under customary international law. Against the backdrop of persistent gross human rights abuses in Africa and the inertia exhibited by the AU, this paper calls for continued cooperation of two institutions in the interest of the victims of these abuses and the progress of the continent.

This research was conducted on the basis of a violation of the sale and purchase of plots of land which continued the construction of residents' houses in the East Coast Surabaya (Pamurbaya) protected area. Protected areas are areas that are defined by the main function of protecting environmental sustainability which includes natural resources and artificial resources. Included in the Pamurbaya area are Gunung Anyar District, Rungkut District, Sukolilo District and Mulyorejo District. This research also explains the implementation of the Government in fulfilling the right to adequate shelter to the community but on the other hand protected areas are very important for cities. Eviction or control is considered a good solution, but needs to be studied in advance regarding the impact caused by the control. In this study, we will discuss the steps to restore the function of the East Coast Surabaya (Pamurbaya) protected area, the impact on the fulfillment of the rights of the people who are at Wisma Tirto Agung Phase IV, and the impact caused by eviction. This study uses qualitative analysis methods, types of sociolegal research, as well as an empirical juridical approach, researchers collect all the data needed both primary data sourced from interviews or other secondary data. The results of this study indicate that the Surabaya City Government has not provided a clear solution to the cases that occur, residents of Wisma Tirto Agung stage IV remain in their homes. The plan to restore the function of protected areas by conducting evictions is still in the assessment stage because the Surabaya City Government cannot decide on evictions without regard to the rights of the community to have a decent place to live. In carrying out evictions, of course there are impacts caused. Can be seen from the psychological, economic, and social aspects.

The 21st century civil society aspires to have a resilient alliance with the law enforcement agencies in general and the police in particular. Endeavours of the police to reach out to the people can guarantee security and enhance the concern of the people in policing the society at large. However, the relationship between the police and the people continue to remain strained and distant. The police commissionerates of the capital cities of Bhubaneswar and Guwahati (both in eastern India) have undertaken community policing initiatives to build the trust of the people in law enforcement. A strong bond between the police and the public can ensure the success of the community policing programmes in achieving the desired aim. However, the real ordeal about awareness and participation of the people in the collaborative efforts of the police is less than satisfactory. The present empirical study compares the perception of the people about the nature of police-public relationship in these two cities of Eastern India.

Discussions on the phenomenon of international migration seem to be the base for the diaspora researches. However, should these intertwined social processes, in terms of theoretical researches, be fed from a much broader conceptual framework? Can a phenomenon of diaspora, arising as a result of international migration, be studied without the concept of related terms such as globalization, migration, ghettoization, minorities, identity, nationalism and transnational social spaces? This study focuses to answer these questions and points out the necessity of including the other concepts in a broader context for a better understanding of the relationship between international migration and diaspora. These concepts and conceptual discussions that become more and more important in the literature, makes to interpret the relationship between international migration and diaspora in the light of current developments.
