This studyaddresses legal assistance in serious crimes, which is considered
one of the important topics within the framework of international cooperation to
combat this type of crime.
The study examines legal assistance in numerous international and United
Nations conventions and alsodiscusses certain aspects related to
Yemenilegislation.
The importance of the study lies in its examination of the forms and fields of
suchcooperation in accordance withregional and international
agreementsrelated to legal and judicial assistance in serious crimes. In
particular, it focuses on legal assistance in investigations, information
exchange, expertise and technical support, assistance in criminal investigations,
legal assistance in restricting the movement of persons and assets, assistance in
the transfer of proceedings, exchange of criminal evidence, as well as legal
assistance throughjudicialrogatory and letters of request.
The studyconcludeswith a number of findings and recommendations.

In the world of artificial intelligence and machine learning, data training is inevitable for intelligent systems. With the shift toward digitization and modernization, the legal and judicial field has been forced to rely on AI systems to predict crimes before they occur and proactively prevent them. This process enables intelligent systems to analyze data and make autonomous decisions based on their surrounding environment.

Machine learning in predictive policing is a field of artificial intelligence that aims to enable machines to “learn” from data for the purpose of predicting crimes in advance within smart city systems through mathematical models. More precisely, it is the process of extracting relevant information from a training dataset in the field of crime.

This study examines money laundering as one of the most serious transnational financial crimes, given its profound impact on economic stability and institutional integrity, as well as its close connection to corruption and tax evasion. It highlights the role of tax information exchange as a modern and effective mechanism to enhance financial transparency by enabling competent authorities to trace illicit financial flows and identify their sources.

The study also analyzes the legislative efforts undertaken by the Lebanese legislator to align with international standards in combating money laundering and strengthening international cooperation, with a focus on the degree of integration between tax information exchange mechanisms and anti-money laundering frameworks.

It concludes that the effectiveness of these mechanisms largely depends on efficient practical implementation, institutional coordination, and the elimination of legislative gaps. Accordingly, there is a need to further develop the legal framework and strengthen institutional capacities to promote transparency, accountability, and anti-corruption efforts

This study examines the inheritance of grandchildren in Islamic jurispru-
dence and Iraqi legislation by explaining its legal basis, the causes and imped-
iments of inheritance, and the effect of exclusion (ḥajb) on grandchildren's in-
heritance rights. The research adopts the descriptive, analytical, and com-
parative approaches. It concludes that Iraqi legislation is generally consistent
with Islamic jurisprudence while highlighting certain practical issues that may
be addressed through legitimate legal means without affecting the established
rules of inheritance

On October 7, 2013, Israel launched a devastating offensive against the
Gaza Strip, which lasted for nearly two years. During this time, South Africa
filed a case before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), accusing Israel
of committing genocide, based on the 1948 Genocide Convention, which
grants the Court jurisdiction to adjudicate the conflict. On January 26, 2014,
the Court issued an order obligating Israel to take measures to prevent gen-
ocide, ensure humanitarian access, and preserve evidence. On May 24 of the
same year, the Court ordered a halt to the military operation in Rafah. How-
ever, Israel refused to comply with these binding decisions.
In light of the above, this study aims to identify the legal implications of
South Africa's case against Israel before the ICJ. The two researchers em-
ployed a descriptive-analytical approach to analyze the laws governing this
crime in international, regional, and local agreements, linking legal texts
with the actual actions that constituted genocide in the Gaza Strip, in order
to arrive at a more comprehensive understanding of the concept.
This study concluded with several findings, most notably that the interna-
tional community bears full responsibility for halting the genocide in the Ga-
za Strip and pressuring the State of Israel. The International Court of Jus-
tice's provisional measures orders in the South Africa case are binding on
Israel, and all parties are obligated to respect and implement these measures
and orders. Failure to comply constitutes a breach of international obliga-
tions.
Among the most important recommendations is a call for Arab states to
join the South Africa case before the International Court of Justice against
Israel.
