Rash and Negligent Interpretations: Historical Lack of Clarity of Section 106 BNS (Part 1)

Is our law too vague when it comes to punishing accidents? The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita’s failure to clearly define ‘rashness’ and ‘negligence’ has led to widespread confusion in courts. This ambiguity not only hinders consistent legal interpretation but also risks unjust outcomes by holding individuals criminally liable without a coherent framework for assessing their culpability in accidental deaths. In this article, the author explores the confusion around rash and negligent homicide under Section 106 BNS and why legislative reform is long overdue. Continue reading Rash and Negligent Interpretations: Historical Lack of Clarity of Section 106 BNS (Part 1)

UNSC Referrals at ICC: An Unnecessary Evil and the Problem of Impunity

In this article the author argues that UNSC referrals to the ICC perpetuate selective impunity and undermine the ICC’s legitimacy by allowing permanent UNSC members (USA, Russia, China) to shield themselves and their allies from prosecution. This selective application of justice creates a perception of bias and unequal treatment, particularly affecting African nations and leading to increased state withdrawals from the Rome Statute. To address this legitimacy deficit, the article proposes granting universal jurisdiction to the ICC, ensuring that anyone committing atrocities can be prosecuted regardless of their state’s party status, thereby promoting a more egalitarian and credible international justice system. Continue reading UNSC Referrals at ICC: An Unnecessary Evil and the Problem of Impunity
