Abstract: The integration process of Albania into the European family carries many difficulties. In this context, the Albanian legislator is inclined to implement in the domestic legal framework models which have been successful in other countries. Our paper aims to present an analytical and comparative approach to the health system in Albania and France, mainly focusing on citizen’s access to these services. Over the last few years, the Albanian government has undertaken concrete reforms in this sector, aiming to transform the vision on which the previous health system was structured. In this perspective, the state fulfils not only an obligation to its citizens, but also consolidates progressive steps toward alignment with European Union standards. The inclusion of health services on the Albanian government agenda reflects its will in the function of good governance, transparency and broadening access to the provision of quality health services in the public and private sectors. France has one of the most effective healthcare models in Europe. That is why we have chosen to analyze this country, aiming to highlight the advantages of this system, as well as the commitment of the French state to drafting effective health policies. In the framework of the process of harmonization of the Albanian legislation with that of the European Union, through our work, we aim to identify the space to implement the whole of these legislative innovations in the Albanian legislation.

Abstract: In the Preamble of the WTO defined that there is a need to make sure that developing countries especially the LDC ones, share growth in international trade proportionate with the needs of their economic development. This paper begins with the historical background of the developing countries participation in both GATT and the WTO. There is a broad discussion about the developing countries and the WTO dispute settlement system. Significant appraisals of the present and possible benefits from developing country engagement in the WTO focus mainly on the recent development. This paper examines a different feature of developing country participation in the WTO dispute settlement system. The WTO dispute system is providing the developing countries with some special benefits and developing countries are also trying to increase their status, that’s the main reason for the participation in the WTO dispute system. This paper is also trying to find the obstacles that are creating a problem for developing countries to participate in the WTO dispute settlement system. The WTO dispute settlement system is working actively for developing countries, but the GATT system was also tried to develop the status of the developing countries. The comparison between the GATT system and the WTO dispute system developed country and developing country is also referred in this paper.

Abstract: Access to diplomatic immunities and privileges (DPIs) has been a dominant custom in interstate relations. However, waves of diplomatic abuses have engineered calls for a change in the legal narrative of customary norms on DPIs. With these calls in focus, this paper attempts to explore and compare the current legal regimes on DPIs in the UK and Nigeria. The paper finds that both regimes still maintain the confounded ‘blanket’ protection of diplomats, with the position in the UK slightly better off in comparison to that of Nigeria. The author supports moving beyond the traditional justification of absolute protection for making diplomats ‘above the law’ and recommends modification of the current legal position to a more stringent one, not intended to strip those DPIs off the diplomats but to portray the state’s intent to protect its laws and citizens against wanton unchallenged abuse.

Abstract: The Muslim travel market is one of the most emerging lucrative sector across the globe and yet despite this huge potential, Halal tourism remains relatively untapped. It is expected by 2026 that the Halal travel sector’s proportion to the global economy is made up of 35% representing around US$ 300 Billion and 10% of tourists worldwide. While various studies suggest that countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Morocco, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates amongst others are portrayed as the top Halal tourist destinations, no research has been conducted on the potential of Mauritius for Halal tourism. Consequently, this research aims to assess the future of Halal tourism in Mauritius given that the tourism sector is among the five main economic pillars of the country. In particular, this study will assess the awareness level of Halal tourism and the offering of Shariah compliant tourism facilities in Mauritius. This paper adopts the descriptive analytical approach and data is collected from questionnaires distributed to the target population, books, newspapers articles, journal articles and official websites. This study intends to recommend an action plan to the stakeholders concerned with the view of encouraging Halal tourism in Mauritius.
