Forensic hypnosis, the use of hypnosis to aid in the retrieval of memories for legal purposes, has garnered attention within the judicial system as a potential tool for enhancing witness testimony and recovering forgotten details. This review examines the intersection of forensic hypnosis and the legal framework, focusing on judicial perspectives, case law, and best practices. It analyzes landmark cases that have shaped the admissibility of hypnotically retrieved testimony, highlighting the varying standards adopted across jurisdictions. The review also addresses the ethical considerations surrounding the use of hypnosis in legal contexts, including concerns about memory distortion and suggestibility. Furthermore, it discusses best practices for practitioners, emphasizing the importance of maintaining scientific rigor and ethical standards when employing hypnosis in forensic settings. The findings underscore the need for ongoing legal education regarding forensic hypnosis to ensure its responsible application within the courts.

Cameroon has been embroiled in prolonged conflicts, including the Anglophone Crisis and the Boko Haram insurgency, both of which have deeply impacted the nation's socio-political fabric. The central problem is the breakdown of institutions, displacement of populations, and socio-economic instability, necessitating urgent post-conflict reconstruction. This study aims to explore the key challenges and barriers to reconstruction, assess the roles of national and international actors, and analyze strategies to build institutions for sustainable peace and stability. The research draws on hybrid peace and conflict transformation theories and adopts a qualitative research design, relying on secondary data sources. Through an in-depth analysis of official documents, scholarly articles, and reports from international organizations, this study provides a comparative examination of similar post-conflict settings, such as Rwanda and Sierra Leone. Data were systematically analyzed to identify key themes related to governance, security, and institutional reform. Findings reveal that political instability, lack of decentralization, and limited financial resources significantly hinder effective reconstruction efforts. Governance challenges, including corruption and centralization of power, impede institution-building, while socio- economic issues, such as ethnic and linguistic divisions, further complicate peacebuilding efforts. International actors and NGOs play a vital role but often lack coordination, limiting the effectiveness of their interventions. The study concludes that Cameroon’s post-conflict reconstruction requires comprehensive reforms. Decentralization, inclusive governance, and accountability must be prioritized. International efforts should align with local needs, emphasizing long-term development over short-term aid. Effective security sector reform, alongside strategies for institutional capacity-building, will be essential to fostering peace and preventing future conflict.

Today what rights exist in relation to unfinished construction objects is a subject of controversy. While the property rights occupy a special place among the objects of civil law, they do not indicate the specific property right in relation to construction objects. As the interests of both the builder and the buyer must be ensured in this regard, we propose it is necessary to create a theoretical basis for the protection of property rights in relation to the unfinished construction objects. In addition, it is advisable to avoid the presence of only one-sided interests in the contract, to ensure that the conditions serve the interests of both parties, to ensure the timely and proper fulfillment of all obligations.

The relationship between Indigenous peoples and law enforcement agencies has been a subject of considerable attention, particularly due to historical and ongoing issues surrounding systemic discrimination, cultural misunderstandings, and a lack of trust. This study explores the dynamics of Indigenous peoples' engagement with law enforcement, focusing on the extent and nature of contact, as well as the levels of confidence and trust in police services. Through surveys and interviews with Indigenous individuals and communities, the research examines how factors such as personal experience with law enforcement, perceived biases, and cultural differences shape their interactions with police officers. The findings highlight significant disparities in the ways Indigenous peoples view law enforcement, with many expressing a lack of confidence in the police, particularly in relation to issues of accountability and fairness. The study also explores potential pathways for improving police-Indigenous relations, including cultural sensitivity training for law enforcement, community policing models, and greater involvement of Indigenous voices in shaping law enforcement policies. Understanding these relationships is critical to fostering safer and more equitable interactions between Indigenous communities and law enforcement agencies.

The nexus between crude oil theft, corruption, and national security in Nigeria is complex and multifaceted. Oil theft directly impacts the nation's economy by reducing government revenue, which in turn limits the resources available for critical public services, including security and law enforcement. Corruption, by weakening governance and fostering impunity, compounds these security threats, allowing criminal networks to thrive This study investigates the intricate relationship between crude oil theft, corruption, and national security in Nigeria. The study utilised a longitudinal research design, examining secondary data from 2013 to 2023, including metrics such as oil theft, political corruption, violent events, and fatalities. Data from sources like the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA), and the World Bank's political corruption index were analysed using Poisson regression to assess the effects of oil theft and corruption on national security. Findings revealed that crude oil theft has a statistically significant positive relationship with violent events, while political corruption, represented by the political corruption index, shows a strong negative relationship with security, with an estimate of -

26.475. This could imply that corruption may sometimes act as a stabilising force whereby, in corrupt systems, those in power might suppress violence to maintain order and avoid public attention that could threaten their positions. However, political corruption has a substantial positive effect on fatalities, with an estimate of 19.589. This highlights that as corruption increases, fatalities rise significantly, pointing to the detrimental impact of corruption on state institutions and the rule of law. These findings also suggest that while crude oil theft directly contributes to insecurity, political corruption may reduce overt violence by maintaining fragile stability. Therefore, addressing these issues requires a nuanced approach. Policymakers must recognise that combating corruption and oil theft alone will not be sufficient to ensure national security; instead, strategies should tackle both issues simultaneously, understanding that reducing visible violence does not always eliminate the underlying causes of insecurity.
