Enforcement of International Customs on Expropriation of Foreign Properties and the Plight of Developing Countries
0₦2,500.00Professor Nnabue and Mr. Otitodiri, Professor of Law, Faculty of Law, Imo State University and Lecturer, Faculty of Law, Imo State University, in their article “Enforcement of International Customs on Expropriation of Foreign Properties and the Plight of Developing Countries” examine the enforcement of International Customs on Expropriation of foreign properties and the plight of developing countries. The sources of the law are fraught with irregularities and questions still remain. Although Article 38 of the statute of ICJ has helped to define international law as a discipline distinct from politics and international relations, it has fallen short of seeing the process through. As dynamic as society is, law needs to be one step ahead to ensure that there is a means to keep actions and omissions in check.

Nearly Always, A Strike or Lock Out is Unlawful in Nigeria
0₦2,500.00Professor Joseph Abugu, Head, Commercial and Industrial Law Department, Faculty of Law, University of Lagos examines the lawfulness of strikes within the framework of statutory provisions delineating the boundaries of industrial action and the immunities available under Nigerian statute law for torts committed by trade unions and their officials in the course of a trade dispute. It observes that lawful strikes are virtually impossible in this country notwithstanding its democratic ideals. Whilst the constitution guarantees freedom of association and the right to join or form a trade union, existing statutory provisions negate the exercise of trade union activity in the form of strikes or lockouts. The paper advocates a change of the existing legal regime in favour of one that meaningfully recognizes the right to strike and lockout and facilitates its exercise.
