Abstract: With a rapidly expanding urbanised population, Brunei Darussalam has ever more demanding consumers. Increased affluence in the country has given birth to a more sophisticated consumer, who not only looks for value for money, but is also attracted by quality and fitness of the goods they purchase. Consumer protection is an essential element of a healthy business ecosystem. Today‟s consumers need to be equipped with high consumerism knowledge and skills in order to become more empowered. Empowered consumers will not be created without the government intervening to protect consumers with adequate legislations. This article aims to examine the Bruneian Sale of Goods Act 1994 in its regime of protecting consumers in a contract of sale of goods by focusing mainly on quality and fitness of such goods..........

Abstract: The varna or caste system has been imbibed in Indian culture since time immemorial. Hindu society is divided into four Varna, or classes, a convention which had its origins in the Rig Veda, the first and most important set of hymns in Hindu scripture which dates back to 1500-1000 B.C.1At the top of the hierarchy are the Brahmins, or priests, followed by the Kshatriyas, or warriors. The Vaisyas, the farmers and artisans, constitute the third class. At the bottom are the Shudras, the class responsible for serving the three higher groups. Finally, the Untouchables fall completely outside of this system. It is for this reason that the untouchables have also been termed a Varna ("no class"). The paper intends to highlight the conceptual development of reservation in colonial India.

Abstract: Le Nord-Kivu reste l'une des Provinces de la RDC ayant des effectifs policiers et militaires très importants. Nonobstant cela, une prolifération des sociétés privées de sécurité s'observe, tout cela, dans un contexte d'insécurité grandissante. L'Etat congolais promet de renforcer la sécurité des personnes et de leurs biens, mais tous les jours au journal radiodiffusé ou télévisé, il demeure toujours une séance "criminologie" ayant trait aux agressions physiques, vol et viols. La sécurité restant le monopole de l'Etat, à travers ses différents services de sécurité, en République Démocratique du Congo en général et au Nord-Kivu en particulier, nous assistons néanmoins à l'activisme croissant et proliférant des sociétés de gardiennage. Elles exercent leur mission conjointement avec les éléments.................
