Indeed, the international order is wide-open to multifaceted peace and security challenges. Expeditious assimilation, industrial development, augmented trade and inclusive societal growth necessitate dogmatic stability. Hence, state influences concerning international peace and security are vital and wanted. China has established itself amongst twelve leading peace-keeping donors of the international community, besides the United Nations Security Council’s permanent memberships, presently it is the largest provider of peace-keeping troops. Particularly, Africa has witnessed China’s greater than before peace-keeping participation since 2017. Hence, over 2,400 peacekeepers of China are among seven UN peace-keeping operations in Africa including Darfur and South-Sudan. China’s offerings to UN peace-keeping operations have extended significantly through the preceding era, particularly in Africa. Thus, to conclude China’s image as an expanding influence, it’s increasing character in peace-keeping operations, and the consequences of Sino-African affairs. Thus, it desires to offer international order with a different over-all design, with the ultimate aim of maintaining peace besides growth through dynamic peace-keeping engagement in Africa.

Abstract: US Taliban Doha Accord: A Compromise This paper attempts to find out that the US peace agreement with the Taliban is a promising step, but is rife with ambiguities because the hasty peace deal reached in Doha on February 29 has undermined the Afghan government and avenged the US-Taliban's nefarious zero-sum game. It can change all that goes forward. However, it marks a significant breakthrough in the two adversaries nearly two-decade long conflict and a peaceful terrorism-free Afghanistan is the desire of everyone in the region. But the current environment in Afghanistan, in which the agreement signed, raises some questions in the minds of all strategists .Is it a compromise, or a doomed deal? All the stakeholders expressed hopes of peace returning to Afghanistan, but various dignitaries could not hide the apprehensions about the longevity of the deal as well as prospects for peace in the statements

Abstract: The current study examines the impact of technological gadgets on the children’s socialization in the context of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. A closed-ended self-structured questionnaire for data collection was designed and applied in the field. The data were analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS).

The finding of the study showed that children were more engaged with the usage of technological gadgets. A majority of the children has knowledge regarding technological gadgets and use for more than four hours on daily basis. On the other hand, parents were aware of both the positive and negative impacts of technological gadgets on their children’s socialization. Interestingly, parents found a positive relationship between excessive use of technological gadgets and virtual socialization of children. Furthermore, usage of technology has limited children’s activities inside the house, less active in community engagements and sometimes showing aggressive behavior on keeping them away from the technological gadgets. The study recommends that parents need to educate and supervise their children’s activities and limit their access to technological gadgets in order to focus on physical socialization of their children so as to reduce negative effects of technological gadgets.

  3. Dr. Muhammad Mumtaz Ali Khan
Abstract: This article is based on doctrinal methodology studying the principles of interpretation in wider scope. Interpretation whether of a statute, a word or a phrase, is of great significance to reach a conclusion with regard to its meanings and the intent of the originator. It is a very important area of academia having numerous principles for construing and constructing a given word, statement or a law. There are appropriate principles of interpretation in different fields including law.It has been observed through comparative study of interpretation of statutes with general interpretation and its principles laid down in the Holy Qur’an that they both lead to the same destination. The principles laid down in both the areas are similar and better described in the holy Book. The principles of interpretation of statutes devised over centuries in their excellence conform to the fundamental principles laid down in the Qur’an. A scholar may be benefited multiply by consulting the two together or parallel. The principles of interpretation of statutes humanly devised, when studied in comparison academically with the principles of interpretation laid down in Al’ Qur’an, benefit reciprocally both the scholars.
