UAEU Law Journal

In recent years, the environmental migrant movements have increased significantly around the world as a result of the recent environmental disasters, whether they were natural or man-made. Moreover, although the Global Compact on Refugees - adopted by the United Nations on 17/12/2018- has affirmed the climatic factors and natural disasters as causes for the increase of refugee movements, there are yet no binding legal provisions upon which the receiving countries are obligated by virtue of law to receive those environmental migrants.

In this regard, this current study sheds light on the concept of "Environmental Refugees" in specific; as the study …

UAEU Law Journal

Established principles of customary international law of human rights include prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.

It is widely held view that human beings have a basic need to create a positive social identity for themselves, either as individuals or as members of a group.

At this level, religious expressions vary in terms of the individual's choice of dress.
