    AN ANALYSIS OF THE LEGAL REGIMES FOR OZONE LAYER PROTECTION
    (coou African Journal of Environmental Research, 2024) Oluwatosin Kate Olanrewaju-Elufowoju
    This paper analysed the vital legal framework governing ozone layer protection, primarily, the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer and the effective Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. The analysis covered the historical context, cooperative arrangements, and the complex interplay of actors in addressing the global challenge of ozone depletion. The study carefully examined the roles of developing and developed nations in implementing these legal instruments by interrogating the Canadian, South African and Nigerian contexts. It provided nuanced insight into their diverse approaches and problems faced at the national level. The research revealed the significant stride of the Montreal Protocol in curbing ozone-depleting substances. However, persistent challenges and emerging environmental threats such as global warming and climate change underscore the need for continued global efforts. The paper emphasized the need for continued international cooperation to ensure that the ozone layer fully recovers. It concluded by acknowledging the strides already made towards international cooperation while emphasising the urgency of collective action to address emerging challenges and evolving environmental concerns for a healthier planet.

    An Examination of Trans-Boder Crimes and National Security in Nigeria
    (Department of Private and Property Law, Faculty of Law, Redeemer's University, Ede Osun State, 2024-02) Oluwatosin Kate Olanrewaju-Elufowoju
    Examining the complex network of transnational criminal operations that seriously jeopardize national security, the article focused on Nigeria. The article carefully examined a wide range of criminal activity, including cyber and intellectual property crimes, terrorism, money laundering, drug trafficking and the far-reaching effects of environmental crime. It dissects the intricate dynamics of these criminal networks using a thorough doctrinal analysis, exposing their transnational reach and the difficulties they present to law enforcement. This analysis goes beyond standard discourse to establish a connection between the rise in transnational crimes and globalization. The argument put forth was that the swift interconnectedness enabled by globalization had unintentionally created the conditions for the growth of a worldwide criminal economy. Given this context, the article highlighted the imperative need for comprehensive and well-coordinated measures, calling on governments to reinforce their law enforcement efforts and promote global cooperation by means of public-private partnerships. In light of the ongoing difficulty that transnational crimes provide to societies, the article's conclusion highlighted the necessity of placing a high priority on national security while also posing relevant queries on the viability of totally eliminating criminality.

    REGULATION OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND FOOD INSECURITY IN NIGERIA
    (Redeemer’s University Nigeria Faculty of Law Journal (RUNLAWJ), 2024) Oluwatosin Kate Olanrewaju-Elufowoju
    Man’s unsustainable environmental activities are a major contributor to climate variability and the resulting environmental degradation, desertification, and biodiversity loss, all of which pose a threat to food accessibility and security. This paper aimed to examine the implementation of the Climate Change Act 2021 and other legal regimes in combating the effects of climate change with a view to achieving food security in Nigeria. It highlighted the lapses evident in the implementation of the laws and policies for combating climate change and argued that this is an ambitious goal, and as such, effective implementation of the provisions of the Act as well as policies targeted at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector, which are key to combating hunger and ensuring adequate food provisions for all. Using primary and secondary sources of laws, the paper employed a doctrinal legal approach. It finds that the major problem in effectively solving the challenges posed by man induced climate change is in weak legislation and poor implementation. It recommended that to enhance effectiveness, the government prioritises enforcing climate change regulations and developing institutional capacity for enforcement. It concluded that to attain a maximum level of food security in Nigeria, the law must ensure the implementation of its climate change obligations to maintain environmental protection from the harmful impact of change climate.

    The Legal Aspect of Digitalization of Privacy of Children Online
    (Redeemer’s University Nigeria, Journal of Jurisprudence & International Law (RUNJJIL), 2024) Oluwatosin Kate Olanrewaju-Elufowoju
    The Digital world provides myriads of opportunities for people all over the world, and it is a great place for mothers to catch up and connect with their family, friends and loved ones. It has provided communities for many parents who find themselves grappling with motherhood challenges and has become an important platform for assistance and growth. However, sharing information about the child has ethical and legal consequences. This study examined the impact of digitalization on the young child and the legal consequences of the exposure. The study adopted a doctrinal approach using both primary and secondary sources of information. The study found out that most states lack comprehensive protection for children online and that the few protections in place did not take cognizance of the fact that parents do expose their children to dangers online despite the fact that that was not the intention of the parents involved. The study also recommended that new laws must be put in place to give children more protection from their parent’s actions online. The study concluded by recommending that sensitization must be done for parents on the legal implications of what they share online about their children.
