International Law
The domain of the international law is quite diverse. It works on many different areas such including the public international law, international human rights law, international humanitarian law, international criminal law, international trade law, international investment law, law of the sea, international dispute settlement, etc. The international law basically focused on the issue where two states might have a conflicting interest and it tries to resolve that conflict through some specified rules in the form of a treaty or agreement. However, it is increasingly focusing on international organizations, and non-State actors like, individuals, investors, and armed groups. At the same time, it deals with the responsibilities of States, individuals and international organizations at the international arena.INTEREST(S)

Jurisdictive retorts to Muslim women’s right to guardianship of minors in Bangladesh
The Legal framework on guardianship of minors developed under the Roman Law. Later, Islamic Law also addressed the issue in a progressive and dynamic manner. Nevertheless, most of the jurists have failed to appreciate the beauty of that dynamism and therefore could not interpret it in a manner which is conducive to the changing needs of the society. During the British rule in the Indo-Pak Sub-continent, the principal legislation governing the guardianship and custody of the children in Bangladesh was enacted, keeping the personal laws intact. The law apparently favours father and in practice tilted towards father as an absolute guardian of minor in any case irrespective of the interest and betterment of the children. International law dealing with the rights of the children also called upon the states to give the paramount importance on the best interest of the children on any matter including the guardianship. But our precedent setting courts could not go beyond the black letters of law and largely remained indifferent on their role in removing justice and in establishing substantive equality and justice in the society. In many cases where mothers are found as competent enough and fit as a guardian, yet the courts refused their stance. Only exceptionally, our higher court has given the guardianship to mothers. But as a matter of fact, those progressive decisions have not received mainstream attention by the country-wide Family Courts. However, as a routine matter, Family Courts are granting the absolute right to guardianship to father and refusing the mothers’ rights to guardianship in any case without fully understanding the implications of existing laws and judicial decisions. Mothers’ role for rearing and caring of children is well known but beyond these mothers can also play a pivotal role in protecting and managing the property of children which is ignored for long. The submission in this research is to break down the silence which leads to grave injustice. It is found in the present research after an in-depth doctrinal analysis that, there is no bar legally to grant the guardianship to the mothers. It is further submitted to have more constructive role by the higher judiciary of Bangladesh at the same time the lower judiciary i.e. Family Courts should not vacillate to grant guardianship to the mother when they are found as a competent.

Fair and Equitable Treatment as Floating Signifier: Laclau-Mouffe Discourse Theory and the Structural Indeterminacy of the FET Standard in Investment Arbitration
The article argues that FET operates as a floating signifier whose indeterminacy is not accidental but structurally constitutive of investment arbitration. Drawing on Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory alongside Greimasian narrative semiotics, It demonstrates how arbitral practice progressively sediments an investor-protective interpretation through semiotic capture, while simultaneously reproducing instability through what it terms the suture paradox. Through close analysis of landmark awards and recent treaty reforms, the paper reveals how interpretive communities, rather than texts, govern the evolution of FET. It advances four original contributions, semiotic capture, suture paradox, actantial pre-loading, and discourse-formed interpretation, and proposes institutional, rather than purely textual, reforms aimed at restructuring the production of meaning within investment law and addressing its legitimacy crisis in contemporary international economic governance debates more broadly.
