Abstract Evidence suggests that governments in many developing countries are faced with the challenge of providing sufficient retirement benefits for their aging population and majority still live on the borderlines of poverty with pension funds unable to provide a decent lifestyle. This paper examines the determinants of retirement planning behaviour among 245 employees in the Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration using a probit model. The results reveal that investment and saving decisions are positive and significantly associated with the level of financial literacy, economic knowledge, educational attainment, social interaction and financial advice. Being female inversely affects investment and saving decisions. The disaggregated analysis showed that the effects of these factors are consistent across the different age groups. Thus, any policy option that can enhance the economic and financial knowledge of employees and their educational attainment will improve their retirement planning behaviour directly and indirectly through social interaction.

The problem of asylum seekers and refugees in Indonesia has become a national problem that needs to be addressed seriously by relevant institutions such as: Immigration Law Human Rights Ministry, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, The Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, Ministry of Home Affairs, local government, TNI, Polri as well as various International and National Organizations, religious leaders, community leaders and so on . Apart from being able to cause a situation that is not conducive to society so that it can create its own unrest, this situation can also threaten the country's sovereignty and security. Supervision and law enforcement have begun to be drafted in clear regulations as well as solid governance and institutional management so that there is clarity regarding the supervision and presence of refugees from entering Indonesia to become refugees, resettlement and final reject in real action.

This paper deals with the question of how the influx of irregular immigrants, particularly refugees, and their protracted stay in Malaysia has developed into a matter of security in the country. The fundamental objective of this paper is to analyse the potential threats often associated with the issue and the response from the Government of Malaysia. Qualitative data for this paper was obtained through open-source materials and semi-structured interviews with public officials from government enforcement agencies like the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP), the Immigration Department of Malaysia, and officers from the Ministry of Home Affairs. Besides, various reports from non-governmental organizations, international organizations, and news media helped to collate and provide a comprehensive analysis of the subject matter. This paper employed securitisation theory to explain how the issues related to the influx of refugees and their protracted stay in the country, especially during the Covid-19 situation, were transformed into security agenda by the securitising agents and the subsequent measures taken to combat the threat.

The concept of records management aided by information and communication technologies (ICTs) has recently been embraced by many institutions across the globe. For example, organisations that have implemented the Electronic Document and Records Management System (EDRMS are deemed to be better equipped to handle both internally and externally generated records. These organisations are said to operate at higher level in terms of efficiency and effectiveness than those that still rely on manual filing. However, despite the well documented benefits that come With the adoption of ICTs for records management, some departments within the public sector in Namibia, such as the Ministry of Home Affairs, Homeland and Security as well as the Office of the Prime Minister are still heavily reliant on manual filing of documents. It is against this background that this study explored factors hindering the adoption of EDRMS in the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM). The study adopted a qualitative research approach to collect, analyse, and interpret data. The data collecting instruments included open-ended questionnaires, face-to-face interviews and observation of the study respondents. Data was analysed using the Atlas.ti tool. The study found that insufficient training of staff on electronic records management, lack of user needs analysis and lack of user involvement before the introduction of the system all contributed to resistance of the EDRMS adoption in the OPM. The study recommends that the OPM must provide adequate training to its employees on electronic records management and on the EDRMS in particular. The OPM should also make provision for the adoption of a change management strategy plan in order to get user buy-in for the new electronic system to be embraced.

Mortality studies are important for the effectiveness of subsystem of health services in a country. Before the Coronavirus pandemic outbreak, there has been a gradual decline in the global mortality indicators, which can be linked to the improving economic development and social wellbeing of the global population, especially, in developing regions such as East Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, Eastern Europe and the Middle East. This decline in mortality and the high fertility in developing countries are the contributing factors to the increase on global population. Apart from the aggregated frequencies of deaths and crude death rates reported in population census reports, little to no attention has been paid to detailed inference mortality analysis with respect to the age-sex variation perspective in Namibia. Thus, this paper used the negative binomial regression modelling technique to perform an inference mortality analysis across all ages and both sexes in the country as well as across regions and marital status using the 2016 Civil Registration Vital systems data from the Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration. Results showed that there was a significant relationship between mortality and theindividuals' age, sex, marital status and region. In addition, Oshana, Kavango East, Khomas, Hardap and Omaheke regions had high mortality rates, while infants and elderly individuals had a high probability of dying. Furthermore, the study revealed that individuals who were single and aged 15-59 and 5-14 years had less expected death count. Hence, it is recommended that interventions (such as affordable and proper health care and well-being services) targeted at the (most) vulnerable age groups, marital group and regions be made a priority, in order to meet Sustainable Development Goal 3.

In Malaysia, public projects have been consistently reported as dilapidated and delayed, causing the government to bear financial losses. Furthermore, the purposes of the projects are not fully achieved, thus affecting public interest. This study examined the critical contributing factors to the delay in implementing physical projects in the Ministry of Home Affairs (MOHA). The scope involved the physical construction projects of the Immigration Department of Malaysia’s offices and premises in Malaysia, which was mandated in the Eleventh Malaysia Plan. A total of 105 respondents, including contractors, consultants, end-users, and clients, participated in a survey on the factors and effects of physical project delay. The data was analysed using the Relative Importance Index (RII) and Spearman's correlation to identify the most critical delay factors and their association with delay effects. Thirty-eight delay factors were identified, with contractor-related factors being the most critical, followed by consultant-related, client-related, and other factors. These delay factors were found to be positively correlated with the effects of delay, including time and cost overrun, quality, litigation and arbitration, and abandonment.

The importance of having self-identity by every individual is a necessity, including the identity of a newborn child. Identity is the right of every citizen, and the state has an obligation to carry out services, procurement, and spending as part of the legitimacy and legality of identity owned by each citizen. Developments in technology, modernization, and globalization, as well as the era of digitalization, can encourage and assist the process of having a digital self-identity of children from birth. This will be very influential in reducing acts of exploitation, such as trafficking, violence, exile, neglect, and other criminal acts. Therefore, the researcher takes a legal analysis approach to all applicable regulations in Indonesia related to access policies, and processes to disclosure of children’s identities. The results of the analysis carried out included, among other things, the enforcement of the provisions of the 1945 Constitution Article 28, Law Number 12 of 2006 concerning Citizenship, Law Number 23 of 2006 Population Administration, and Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning the ratification of Child Protection can become a legal umbrella for child ownership. In addition, the identity ownership of children from mixed marriages will be influenced by the validity of the marriage of their parents or the application for legalization through consanguine marriage in accordance with Law No. 1 of 1974. The process of owning a child’s digital identity will involve 3 institutions and or related agencies, including hospitals or maternity clinics as agencies that issue birth certificates, the Ministry of Religion as an institution that issues legal marriage certificates, and the Ministry of Home Affairs that issues valid personal identities in the form of temporary E-KTP and immigration passports. Keywords: digital identity, birth certificate, mixed marriage

Turkey's independence from its international isolation towards the Middle East in particular "and the arrival of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in Turkey in 2002 in a spirit of philosophy and ideology based on a strategic construction by the Turkish foreign policy landscape, Ahmed Daoudoglu (in his strategic depth theory) Major changes, notably the US intervention in Iraq and occupation in 2003, and the change of the political system in it, as well as "the growing movements of rejection and protest within some countries of the Middle East, led to change political systems, and systems in the way to all this led to the adoption of the Turkish decision-maker role "Pivotal" in AG Out. This role has been motivated by various motives, including the protection of Turkey's national security and the preservation of the borders and borders of Turkey, as well as the existence of areas within these regions after they have been removed from the authority of the central states. For the purpose of performing political, security and economic roles, In decision-making and solutions. Turkey included some of the effects of this great conflict in the Middle East, which was reflected in waves of immigration, direct terrorist acts, the growing role of the PKK and the exploitation of the power vacuum in the areas bordering Turkey, to play destabilizing security roles for Turkey and embarrassing the countries on its territory. Including Iraq. The Turkish vision for the Middle East The neighboring countries went to the countries of the Far East, the Gulf states, Egypt, Palestine and Israel to play political, economic, security and military and cultural roles with them to achieve multiple gains. Turkey after 2014 is different from Turkey before this date, because of the expansion of terrorist groups and the formation of the Islamic Caliphate State in Iraq and the Levant, and adjacent to its borders, and this in itself was a concern "about this illegitimate entity, which made it appear" face " The Turkish researcher believes that it is a great regional power capable of managing the crises in the region, even if it requires a military intervention in the region. And that there is success for some of these roles and failures in others, and The question remains whether Turkey, with its political flexibility in managing the conflict, can achieve its vision of the Middle East. The importance of the research stems from the necessity of identifying the Turkish narratives towards the Middle East, as Turkey is a regional role in accordance with the regional balance, being a regional player and rival to other regional players. We also seek to determine the direction of the Turkish policy towards Iraq, Syria, Egypt, the Gulf states, Israel, and especially after 2014, being the dividing line after the growing role of terrorist groups in controlling the Middle East geography, In addition to the great political transformations in the Arab Republic of Egypt and the Turkish positions on these attempts. The research attempts to shed light on the objectives of foreign policy towards the Middle East, as well as toward Syria, Iraq and the Gulf states in both countries, as well as "Egypt, Israel and Palestine." The research problem stems from Turkey's ability to shape its political influence and its continuity in the Middle East region in general "And especially that its influence was subjected to large blows because of the official and popular rejection of political Islam, and on the grounds that Turkey is one of the wings of this trend and trying to problematic search answer the following questions: 1- what does Turkey want from Syria?. 2- What does Turkey want from Iraq? 3-what does Turkey want from the Arab gulf states?. 4-what does Turkey want from Egypt?. What does Turkey want from Palestine and want from Israel? The hypothesis of the research is that Turkey has a political vision that enabled it to play a role in the Middle East as a regional force that influences and is influenced by events. It seeks to ensure the continuation of its political, economic, security and cultural interests. Therefore, Turkey sought to change its policy after 2002 through its new approach to international relations proposed by Prof. Ahmed Dawood Ogluwa prior to his acquisition of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Strategic Depth Theory), taking advantage of its geographical location, linking three continents and offering objectives of its foreign policy to various countries of the world, The Middle East was divided between political, economic, military and security goals and finally cultural goals. In the light of its implementation of its strategic plans and declared goals, it achieved economic growth within the G20 and made it an important regional power in the Middle East. After 2014, it succeeded in showing a new personality with rough tools to intervene to protect its various interests in neighboring countries that underwent political transformations and expansion of terrorist forces and organizations, Kurdish separatist parties or groups try as much as possible to gain national gains and rights. The research concluded the following conclusions: 1 that Turkey can defend its interests if exposed to any threat and take away the status of soft means in dealing with rough means and this is what happened in the intervention in northern Iraq and western Syria to undermine Kurdish separatist projects in both countries. 2 Turkey has the full flexibility to change its policy and invest opportunities instead of pursuing a policy of reaction. 3 Turkey wants democratic systems that surround it so that it can dialogue with it. 4 that a democratic Turkey can communicate with all the countries of the world and is not afraid of those at home or stalkers, especially after they emerged from the failed coup attempt in 2016 more strongly. 5 that Turkey is penetrating the Middle East region, especially in the Arab region because it needs the most important energy resources, especially oil and natural gas, not to mention the Arab markets. 6. Turkey is capable of undertaking large-scale political projects in the future that lead to finding solutions to the problems of the Middle East, especially the areas of conflict or conflict. It presents itself either as a political mediator between the conflicting parties or as an ally of one party at the expense of the other. Hence, Turkey will have an active role in the future in the various Middle East interactions. It is not a weak player when compared to other players, both regional and international.

Abstract Is the ‘free movement’ of prosecutions and investigations compatible with the protection of human rights? This is the fundamental question underlying co-operation in the field of Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) in the European Union (EU). It can be answered by analysing first the potential role of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in ensuring human rights protection in the third pillar, and then by critically examining the practice of the Council of the EU. The Amsterdam Treaty has transformed the approach to JHA co-operation in the European Union. Such co-operation, initially agreed informally, outside the scope of the Community institutions, was formalized by the Maastricht Treaty on European Union (TEU), placed at first largely in the intergovernmental Title VI of that Treaty. Pre-Maastricht JHA co-operation was arranged through various working groups reporting to immigration or interior ministers, ultimately through a ‘Coordinators Group’ of senior national interior ministry officials.
