DEEPFAKE TECHNOLOGY AND LEGAL ISSUES Deeksha Kumari, LLM STUDENT (IMS UNISON UNIVERSITY DEHRADUN) Download Manuscript ABSTRACT The advent of social media has united the entire world into one enormous country. We have access to news from all around the world because of the internet. A few years ago, a unique approach that made it simple to edit photos and films emerged, providing incredible technology that entertained people. This method, which was first employed by people to amuse or play practical jokes on others, swiftly evolved into one of the riskiest things available on the internet right now. The deep-learning technology used in deep fakes has turned the internet into a trap. This study paper aims to comprehend the effects that deep fakes have on society, talk about the laws that prohibit these kinds of actions, and raise awareness about the sharing of these kinds of contents. As English clergyman Thomas Fuller said, “Seeing is believing,” yet when it comes to deep fakes, one can no longer trust what they are seeing. Deep fakes are dangerous for both society and individual privacy because of this. They are inexpensive to produce, but when used improperly, they have the power to sway public opinion, control large crowds to incite discontent in the community, and lead to invasions of privacy, to mention a couple of their problems. The existing legal framework in India does not adequately address cyber offenses resulting from the usage of deep fakes. It is challenging to adequately govern the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep fakes due to the absence of specific regulations relating these technologies in the IT Act, 2000. It could be essential to amend the IT Act, 2000 to include sections that expressly address the use of deepfake and the penalties for their misuse in order to better regulate offenses caused by them. This would entail tougher legal safeguards for people whose likenesses or photos are exploited without their permission, as well as harsher punishments for those who produce or disseminate deep fakes with malevolent intent.

INCLUSIVE JUSTICE: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF GENDER-NEUTRAL RAPE LAWS IN INDIA Srishti Murali, BBA LL.B (Hons.), School of Law, CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Bangalore Nrupalaa Kumar, B BA LL.B (Hons.), School of Law, CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Bangalore Download Manuscript ABSTRACT This paper critically analyses the need for implementing a gender-neutral rape provision in India to encompass the diverse experiences of survivors and perpetrators. The primary aim of this research is to underscore the necessity of transitioning towards gender-neutral rape laws in India. The paper seeks to challenge the antiquated belief that gender plays a role in the determination of parties of sexual violence and instead argues for the law to recognize the varied experiences of individuals without considering gender as a critical factor. Further, this study addresses the changing social mindset and dynamics and its role in a gender-neutral provision. This paper seeks to unveil the limitations of gender-specific laws through a comprehensive review of existing legal frameworks, reports, and judgements. The paper reveals a systemic deficiency in current legal provisions, particularly in acknowledging the experiences of male survivors as well as victims of abusive same-sex relationships and dispelling the restrictive narrative that only women can be victims and only men can be the perpetrators. The results of the study argue that gender-neutral rape laws not only fill a crucial legal gap but also play a pivotal role in shaping societal attitudes towards sexual violence. It seeks to conclude that such a provision would align with the principles of justice and equity as envisaged in the Constitution by providing a legal remedy to all victims regardless of gender.

JURISDICTIONAL IMMUNITY Vinita Kumari, student of LL.M., Chanakya National Law University, Patna Download Manuscript ABSTRACT Jurisdictional immunity, a crucial concept in private international law, determines how much a state or its representatives can be held accountable by foreign tribunals. This concept is crucial in contemporary legal systems due to increased international trade, national interdependence, and cross-border conflicts. Jurisdictional immunity is a legal doctrine that exempts a state or its representatives from foreign court jurisdiction. This concept has been explored in private international law, revealing various aspects that contribute to its definition. Diplomatic immunity is essential for promoting international relations and allowing ambassadors to carry out their diplomatic duties without fear of legal repercussions. Sovereign immunity controls the immunity of governments and their representatives in various roles, including both state and diplomatic immunity. The researcher has found that human rights considerations highlight possible inconsistencies between the pursuit of justice and immunity claims. The issue of access to justice has become a crucial problem, since those seeking redress may encounter severe obstacles due to jurisdictional immunity. In this research paper, the author has identified the complex relationship between commercial transactions and immunity claims in the context of international trade and commerce, which may have implications for international business relations. The complex relationship between commercial transactions and immunity claims in global trade and commerce is crucial for international business relations. Future trends in jurisdictional immunity will be shaped by technological advancements, legislative reforms, and debates over state sovereignty and global governance.

SAFEGUARDING FEMALE WORKFORCE: CONCERNS LAWS PROTECTION & MEASURES Kashish Agarwal, STUDENT, BBA LLB/ 3RD YEAR/ 6 SEM. Mohit Shah, STUDENT, BCOM/LLB/ 3YEAR/ 6 SEMESTER. Download Manuscript ABSTRACT Maintaining fundamental human rights and guaranteeing gender equality requires protecting women who work in the workforce. An overview of the issues, regulations, and safeguards relating to women working from the standpoint of labour law is given in this abstract. The main issues that female employees deal with are workplace harassment, unequal compensation, gender-based discrimination, and occupational dangers. Labour laws, which forbid discrimination, guarantee equal compensation for equal work, and set up procedures for handling grievances, are essential in addressing these issues. The legal foundation for defending the rights of female workers is provided by both worldwide labour standards established by organizations like the World Labour Organization and national labour legislation. Protections for the well-being and professional growth of female employees are further strengthened by particular regulations relating to maternity leave, parental leave, and workplace accommodations. However, challenges remain, such as incident underreporting, restricted access to legal recourse, and enforcement shortcomings. Comparative evaluations and illustrative case studies highlight the need for ongoing improvements to labour laws and enforcement procedures in addition to the effectiveness of legal remedies. In order to achieve gender parity in labour markets around the world, future strategies and policy proposals emphasize how critical it is to strengthen enforcement, promote gender-sensitive workplace rules, and push for legislative improvements. This study backs current initiatives to advance the rights and well-being of female workers worldwide.
