Muslims form the largest religious minority in India. Census of India 2011 registered about 14.4 per cent of India’s total population as Muslims. Being minority Muslims are one of the weaker sections of society and the most oppressed ones. Majority of the Muslims especially youth are going through distress and trauma of terrorism tags. Muslims are the prime targets of anti-national activities and often jailed and killed in fake encounters. They are the most suffered section of the society and a little is being done for their upliftment. An attempt has been made to analyse the condition of the Muslim minority in India in the present democratic scenario. The study mainly focused on the consequences of false charges and fake encounters on the socio-economic conditions of Muslims and their families in India. The study is actually an investigation in some thrust areas in which Muslim section of the society is being demoralized deeply in India. The government of India established The Ministry of Minority Affairs on 29th January 2006 to look after the issues of minority communities and suggest development frameworks for their benefit. The 2017 World Report of the Human Rights Watch[1] also finds India as the violator of human rights with respect to freedom and treatment of minorities.[1] Human Rights Watch is a non-profit, non-governmental human rights organization, known for its accurate fact-finding, impartial reporting, effective use of media, and targeted advocacy.

In Chapter 12, Omar Ashour and Sherif Mohyelden examine the linked demands for transitional justice and security sector reform during and after the uprisings in Egypt. They trace the targeting of security and intelligence forces during the uprising, as perpetrators of particular abuses, and the demands in the post-Mubarak period for transitional justice and specific measures of security sector reform. These were initiated in limited ways, such as through fact-finding committees, but further steps were not taken, and following the coup in 2013, the military authorities did not support reform of the sector or transitional justice. Although human rights and transitional justice bodies were established by the government, few substantive steps were taken and the prospects for reform are slim.

This paper will discuss Islamic studies on religious life and muamalah activities with regional approaches in Southeast Asia, especially in Muslim minority communities in Myanmar, Thailand and the Philippines. The discussion begins with the understanding of Islamic studies, the background of the spread of Islam in Southeast Asia, and the development of muamalah Muslim minority communities in Southeast Asia, especially in Myanmar, Thailand and the Philippines. Their position as a minority influences the development of religious institutions. In the process of national integration launched by the government, Muslim communities face changes in social and political orientation.

The Covid-19 Pandemic has made economic conditions in Indonesia, including MSME players,<br />seriously worsened. The government has made many policies to ease the burden on MSMEs, one of<br />which is providing incentives in the field of taxation. There are still many MSME players who do not<br />take advantage of the incentives provided. The obstacles they face are the lack of socialization and<br />their ignorance of using these facilities. For this reason, the community service team of Institut Bisnis<br />dan Informatika Kwik Kian Gie collaborates with the OperBisnis organization to assist in introducing<br />simple accounting and utilizing tax incentives for MSMEs during the Covid-19 pandemic. The targets<br />in this activity are MSME entrepreneurs assisted by the non-profit organization OperBisnis, who<br />foster more than 50 UMKM entrepreneurs spread across Jabodetabek, Bandung, and Medan. The<br />solution for MSMEs that have not done bookkeeping is expected to use a single entry system by<br />recording cash receipts and payments so that they can take advantage of government tax incentives.

This contribution speaks to this Special Issue’s guiding question of how the approach to freedom of religion and minority protection can be combined to foster the protection of religious communities and their members by examining a particular European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) case that provokes a contrasting question: ‘What happens when provisions for religious minority protection lead to the violation rather than protection of members’ rights?’ That case is Molla Sali v. Greece (2018), in which the ECtHR addressed the claim of a member of a Muslim minority community whose membership in that community subjected her—involuntarily—to the authority of sharia law over inheritance matters. The case serves as a foundation from which to explore the ECtHR’s engagements with the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities, an exploration which helps bring to the fore the problems around the concept of ‘voluntary’ opting into identification with a minority identity when the latter entails some form of disadvantage. Women, in particular, due to family and peer pressures, are vulnerable to such disadvantage in contexts such as that from which the case of Molla Sali arises. Thus, the case invites discussion of various ways in which individual and group rights may come into conflict and considers minority rights specifically in relation to other human rights.

Economic growth is often cited as a significantly contributive factor reduction of the poverty rate. This study aims to investigate the economic growth and poverty among all areas within Sulawesi Island and to compare these two aspects among the island’s provinces. This study employs both comparative quantitative analysis to explore economic growth formulatively and qualitative manner for in depth analysis. The result reveals an escalation in both gross regional domestic product (henceforth regional GDP) and total population each year for the last ten years. However this situation is unable to boost the macro-economic growth; a reason for this condition is the population growth in the recent ten years possibly dominated by High birth rates. Yet, this condition does not lead to a drop in the demand for workforces, which implies that the number of the working-age population (which can help improve the regional per capita income) remains constant despite the population growth. Another possible factor of regional GDP escalation is the fact that the government policy, in its foreign cooperation implementation, does not contribute to the local workforces. Nevertheless, the rise in regional GDP is insignificant as it does not affect the local economic conditions. Hence, it proves that the fluctuation of economic growth does not affect the poverty rate.

ABSTRAKKeberadaan corona virus di Indonesia membawa perubahan yang sangat besar pada kondisi ekonomi, kesehatan, pendidikan dan lain sebagainya. Berbagai kebijakan di ambil salah satunya adalah pemberian vaksin secara masal dan bertahap. Namun kebijakan ini menimbulkan pro dan kontra dalam masyarakat. Khususnya kebijakan kewajiban vaksin yang dinilai melanggar hak asasi manusia. Karena seharusnya pilihan vaksin adalah sukarela. Ini diperkuat dengan munculnya sanksi bagi yang menolak dilakukan vaksinasi. Kajian ini lakukan untuk mengurai permasalahan apakah kewajiban vaksinasi COVID-19 merupakan bentuk pelanggaran hak asasi manusia yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah. Untuk menjawab rumusan tersebut digunakan metode penelitian normatif dengan pendekatan undang-undang dan konseptual. Dan hasil penelitian ini bahwa kebijakan pemerintah menetapkan kewajiban vaksin tidak bisa lantas di justifikasi sebagai bentuk pelanggaran hak asasi manusia. Karena masyarakat juga memiiki kewajiban sebagai warganegara di bidang kesehatan sebagaimana Pasal 9 ayat 1 UU No. 36 Tahun 2009. Diperkuat Komnas HAM dan sejalan dengan teori yang di sebutkan John Stuart Mill bahwa setiap individu memiliki hak untuk bertindak berdasarkan keinginan mereka selama tindakan mereka tidak merugikan orang lain. Dengan tetap mengupayakan langkah persuasif dengan menimalkan sanksi administratif. Kata Kunci: kebijakan, kewajiban vaksin, pelanggaran HAM  ABSTRACTThe existence of corona virus in Indonesia brings a very large change in economic conditions, health, education and so on. Various policies are taken, one of which is the provision of vaccines en masse and gradually. But this policy raises pros and cons in society. Especially the policy of vaccine obligations that are considered to violate human rights. The vaccine option should be voluntary. This is reinforced by the emergence of sanctions for those who refuse vaccinations. This study was conducted to unravel the problem of whether the COVID-19 vaccination obligation is a form of human rights violations committed by the government. To answer the formulation is used normative research methods with legal and conceptual approaches. And the results of this study that government policies set vaccine obligations can not be then justified as a form of human rights violations. Because the community also has obligations as citizens in the field of health as Article 9 paragraph 1 of Law No. 36 of 2009. Strengthened Komnas HAM and in line with the theory mentioned by John Stuart Mill that every individual has the right to act on their wishes as long as their actions do not harm others. By continuing to pursue persuasive steps by imposing administrative sanctions.Keywords: policies, vaccine obligations, human rights violations

In recent years, the Australian Government has been encouraging the adoption of information and communications technologies (ICT) by non-profit organisations. In 2006, as a part of that process, the Government initiated a project to develop a possible model and business plan for a National Non-profit ICT Coalition (NNIC), conceived of as a coalition of leading non-profit organisations and social enterprises that would assist the sector in making more effective use of ICT. This paper draws on data collected during an extensive consultation process conducted to inform that model, and examines the data in terms of the response of non-profit organisations to the challenge of ICT within an Australian context. It then considers the implications for both the management of non-profit organisations and government policy.

Israeli Supreme Court

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.

Durante la primera mitad del siglo xix, las necesidades presupuestales del erario mexicano obligaron al gobierno a recurrir al endeudamiento y al arrendamiento de algunas de las casas de moneda más importantes del país. Este artículo examina las condiciones políticas y económicas que hicieron posible el relevo del capital británico por el estadounidense—en estricto sentido, californiano—como arrendatario de la Casa de Moneda de México en 1857. Asimismo, explora el desarrollo empresarial de Juan Temple para explicar la coyuntura política que hizo posible su llegada, y la de sus descendientes, a la administración de la ceca de la capital mexicana. During the first half of the nineteenth century, the budgetary needs of the Mexican treasury forced the government to resort to borrowing and leasing some of the most important mints in the country. This article examines the political and economic conditions that allowed for the replacement of British capital by United States capital—specifically, Californian—as the lessee of the Mexican National Mint in 1857. It also explores the development of Juan Temple’s entrepreneurship to explain the political circumstances that facilitated his admission, and that of his descendants, into the administration of the National Mint in Mexico City.
