Bankruptcy shall mean general confiscation of all assets of a debtor who could no longer afford to pay the debts that are due and could be billed. In Indonesia, bankruptcy is already known before 1945. Bankruptcy is Commercial Court ruling which put all assets of a debtor in a public attachment status thereafter the appointed curator could manage and liquidate the assets of the bankrupt debtor (bankruptcy properties) which would be sold and distributed to all creditors based on their respective levels of entitlement including the wages owed and other rights (Severance pay, gratuity and other compensation benefits). Problems would rise if the company hiring the laborers is declared bankrupt by the Commercial Court. In such circumstances, wage repayments or remunerations to the laborers became an interesting topic to be studied. The company and the government are responsible upon the fulfillment of the laborers' wage rights. In case that responsibility is not fulfilled, then there had been a violation of the rights of the laborers' welfare and violations and blasphemy of human rights. In reality, the laborers' wages sometimes are not paid by the company where they worked because it had bankrupt and is unable to pay, because the company did not want to pay even though there is a decision from the Industrial Relations Court which required the employer (company) to pay the wages or the severance pays.

A work agreement is an agreement between a worker / laborer and an employer or employer that contains the work conditions, rights and obligations of the parties. The work agreement was made to obtain certainty regarding what was promised, both parties must respect each other. In the work agreement that must be considered is not violating the rule of law, each party must agree and may not be forced or forced, the contents of the work agreement must be clear, so that there is no misunderstanding in the future which results in default. An agreement in a company ideally protects the interests of all parties involved in the agreement because an agreement should be made based on the agreement between the two parties. The substance of the work agreement made may not conflict with the applicable labor regulations. Therefore work relations must contain the principle of justice, harmonization of the elements in industrial relations (employers, workers / laborers and the government).

Workers participation in management, also known as WPM, is an advanced type of labour management cooperation that guarantees the concept of autonomous and democratic administration of a company in order to achieve peace and harmony in the workplace. As a consequence, a greater understanding and mutual trust may be established between the company and the employees. A constant communication between them helps to maintain industrial harmony and increase worker loyalty. This plan contributes to increased output and productivity, as well as the equitable distribution of productivity gains, via more effective management and improved industrial relations. However, all of the efforts undertaken by the government, employers, and other employees to increase the involvement of workers in industrial management have fallen short of the goals for which they were intended in India. This research examines Women's Participation in Medicine (WPM) in India and makes an effort to determine the reasons for low participation rates. It also makes some useful recommendations for overcoming the issue

Dispute settlement of Industrial Relations through mediation stipulated in article 8 of the Act Number 2 Year 2004 was assisted by a mediator of manpower officials. In addition, article 9 regula-tes the qualifications of mediator. These two articles are very discriminatory as they are contrary to the fact that mediator of government officer should also be subject to the Civil Service Act. Besides, the government mediator would have superiors and subordinates according to the hierarchy of their positions. This would open possibility of intervention of the superiors that would interfere the mediator in performing his/her duties. Consequently, independent mediator would never be reali-zed. In fact, mediator is not only from government officer but also from other field such as lawyers, lecturers, National Commission of Human Rights (Komnas HAM), and any capable and non-allign-ed mediators. This would be one of solutions for the government to solve the shortage of mediators in Indonesia.                                                     Key words: mediation, mediator, law reform

In late November 2019, the Israeli Supreme Court upheld the Ministry of Interior's order to deport Human Rights Watch (HRW) director for Israel and Palestine, Omar Shakir. The court based its decision on a 2017 amendment to Israel's 1952 Entry into Israel Law enabling the government to refuse entry to foreigners who allegedly advocate for the boycott of Israel. The same law was invoked to deny entry to U.S. congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar in the summer of 2019. The campaign against Shakir began almost immediately after he was hired by HRW in 2016, and the court's decision marked the culmination of a multi-year battle against the deportation order. In this interview, JPS Editorial Committee member, Rutgers University professor, and author Noura Erakat discusses the details of his case with Shakir in an exchange that also examines the implications of the case for human rights advocacy, in general, and for Palestinians, in particular. The interview was edited for length and clarity.

On 2 August 2002 South Africa signed the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Protocol on Tribunal and the Rules of Procedure Thereof, thus effectively recognising and accepting the jurisdiction of the SADC Tribunal. Among the cases received by the SADC Tribunal was a complaint involving allegations of human rights violations by the government of Zimbabwe. It ruled that the government of Zimbabwe had violated human rights. Consequently, Zimbabwe mounted a politico-legal challenge against the existence of the Tribunal. This resulted in the review of the role and functions of the Tribunal in 2011 which resulted in the Tribunal being barred from receiving new cases or proceeding with the cases that were already before it. Furthermore, on 18 August 2014, the SADC Summit adopted and signed the 2014 Protocol on the Tribunal in the SADC which disturbingly limits personal jurisdiction by denying individual access to the envisaged Tribunal, thus reducing it to an inter-state judicial forum. This article critically looks at the decision of 18 August 2014, specifically the legal implications of the Republic of South Africa’s signing of the 2014 Protocol outside the permissible procedure contained in article 37 of the SADC Protocol on the Tribunal. It proposes that South Africa should correct this democratic deficit by introducing public participation in treaty-making processes in order to prevent a future situation where the executive unilaterally withdraws from an international treaty that is meant to protect human rights at a regional level. To achieve this, this article makes a comparative study between South Africa and the Kingdom of Thailand to learn of any best practices from the latter.

Under the United States Alien Tort Statute, which permits non-U.S. citizens to bring lawsuits in U.S. courts for human rights violations that are violations of the law of nations, plaintiffs have filed claims against multinational oil and gas corporations for the direct or complicit commission of such violations carried out by the government of the country in which the corporation operated. In addition to exercising jurisdiction over U.S. corporations, U.S. courts have exercised jurisdiction in cases involving non-U.S. defendants for alleged wrongful conduct against non-U.S. plaintiffs committed outside the U.S.The exercise of jurisdiction by U.S. courts over non-U.S. defendants for alleged wrongful conduct against non-U.S. plaintiffs committed outside of the U.S. raises serious questions as to the jurisdictional foundation on which the power of U.S. courts to adjudicate them rests. Defences that foreign defendants can raise against the exercise of jurisdiction by the U.S. courts are an objection to the extraterritorial assertion of jurisdiction, the act of state doctrine, the political question doctrine, forum non conveniens, and the principle of comity. These defences are bolstered by the support of the defendant’s home government and other governments.
