Does Data Localisation Measure Really Enhance Law Enforcement?

The concept of data localization is a debatable subject globally India is no exception. Basically, data localization means adopting the measures to store the data pertaining to a country within the country itself. Data localization acts as a barrier to cross-border data flow which was the primary concern of many developed countries like the U.S and Japan. In recent times the debates around data localization raged across the world because not only authoritarian governments like China but also democratic countries like India also intend to adopt data localization for various reasons. However, the steps towards data localization by India, even supported by certain legitimate contentions, further raise certain legal questions pertaining to the data protection of the individuals. Those steps also question the technical feasibility of India. Recently the two initiatives of India towards data localization i.e. the provisions relating to data localization in the Data Protection Bill and, the RBI directive ordering for storing and processing of data relating to the payments sector gained global attention. The directive just mandated the storage and processing of data but it does not contain any guidelines in relation to that. The readiness for compliance with a policy is needed to check before going to adopt it. As far as the RBI directive is concerned it has been opined that it does not check the possibility of keeping up pace with that localization requirement

Assisted reproductive technology in the USA: is more regulation needed?

The regulation of assisted reproductive technologies is a contested area. Some jurisdictions, such as the UK and a number of Australian states, have comprehensive regulation of most aspects of assisted reproductive technologies; others, such as the USA, have taken a more piecemeal approach and rely on professional guidelines and the general regulation of medical practice to govern this area. It will be argued that such a laissez-faire approach is inadequate for regulating the complex area of assisted reproductive technologies. Two key examples, reducing multiple births and registers of donors and offspring, will be considered to illustrate the effects of the regulatory structure of assisted reproductive technologies in the USA on practice. It will be concluded that the regulatory structure in the USA fails to provide an adequate mechanism for ensuring the ethical and safe conduct of ART services, and that more comprehensive regulation is required

Monetary Compensation for Survivors of Torture: Some Lessons from Nepal

The Nepali Compensation Relating to Torture Act (1996) is one of the earliest pieces of specific anti-torture legislation adopted in the global South. Despite a number of important limitations, scores of Nepalis have successfully litigated for monetary compensation under the Act, on a scale relatively rare on the global human rights scene. Using a qualitative case study approach, this article examines the conditions under which survivors of torture are awarded compensation in Nepal, and asks what lessons does this have for broader struggles to win monetary compensation for torture survivors? We end by suggesting that there can be practical tensions between providing individual financial compensation and addressing wider issues of accountability

Avoiding, diagnosing and treating well leg compartment syndrome after pelvic surgery

Background Patients undergoing prolonged pelvic surgery may develop compartment syndrome of one or both lower limbs in the absence of direct trauma or pre‐existing vascular disease (well leg compartment syndrome). This condition may have devastating consequences for postoperative recovery, including loss of life or limb, and irreversible disability. Methods These guidelines represent the collaboration of a multidisciplinary group of colorectal, vascular and orthopaedic surgeons, acting on behalf of their specialty associations in the UK and Ireland. A systematic analysis of the available peer‐reviewed literature was undertaken to provide an evidence base from which these guidelines were developed. Results These guidelines encompass the risk factors (both patient‐ and procedure‐related), diagnosis and management of the condition. Key recommendations for the adoption of perioperative strategies to facilitate prevention and effective treatment of well leg compartment syndrome are presented. Conclusion All surgeons who carry out abdominopelvic surgical procedures should be aware of well leg compartment syndrome, and instigate policies within their own institution to reduce the risk of this potentially life‐changing complication
