Dr
Khurshid
Iqbal
Part-time lecturer in International Human Rights Law, International Trade Law and Criminal Law University Law College, Peshawar, Pakistan Dr Iqbal has been awarded an Endeavour Scholarship and will be undertaking study examining Pakistan's forced labour issue for the perspective of the right to development (RTD), a collective human right. Pakistan has both national and international obligations to protect and promote the RTD. Key constitutional provisions pertaining to fundamental rights and the principles of policy are greatly compatible with the RTD. It is argued that judicial intervention in public interest may significantly influence vis-a-vis implementation of both law and policy regarding elimination of forced labour. Such an approach has far reaching implications in a country like Pakistan where judicial activism is coupled with a civil society demand for the rule of law and respect form human rights as necessary for rights-based approach to development.

Miss
Svetlana
Tyulkina
SJD Candidate Central European University, Budapest Miss Tyulkina's research focuses on the concept of Militant Democracy. Traditionally it is understood as banning of dangerous political parties or other limitation imposed on their activities. This practice is widely accepted in many jurisdictions and the finance of political parties is one of the instruments of militant democracy. Miss Tyulkina is trying to develop in her dissertation a new theoretical approach to the emerging regime of anti-terrorism states. She argues that there is no need to invent a new regime like it is promoted by many states and suggests the possibility to put the war on terror legislation into the frame of militant democracy.
