Abstract

Drugs are among the most serious problems facing modern societies. Their negative effects are not limited to the individual alone but extend to impact all aspects of social, economic, and environmental life. This phenomenon has grown significantly in recent decades, affecting communities regardless of their level of economic or cultural development. Drug abuse is not restricted to a specific group; it spans different ages and social classes, making it a pressing issue to address in order to maintain social stability.

The drug phenomenon arises at a time when the world faces significant challenges in sustainable development, which aims to balance economic growth, social justice, and environmental protection. This is where the danger of drugs lies, as they represent an obstacle to achieving these goals. Addiction leads to a decline in the economic productivity of individuals and societies, increases the burden on the healthcare system, and exacerbates crime and violence, hindering efforts to improve the quality of life and achieve social justice.

At the same time, drug trafficking contributes to environmental destruction through the excessive exploitation of land and pollution resulting from illegal drug manufacturing and trade. Therefore, sustainable development cannot be achieved in any society without implementing effective strategies to combat the drug phenomenon and reduce its negative impacts.

Abstract

Corruption has become a significant challenge in many countries around the world at various levels, whether in the public or private sectors, and has topped the priorities of many national and international reports. Corruption is not just an issue related to the implementation and quality of governance, but has become a major challenge that hinders sustainable economic growth, fair human development, social justice, and equality between different groups. One of the main goals of governments is to reduce the social ills and problems resulting from corruption, and this is the first step in integrating the interconnection and absolute communication between various aspects of development. Therefore, a successful society is one that is capable of reducing corruption. There is a growing tendency at the international level to adopt technology to combat and reduce corruption, as technology plays an effective role as a transparent oversight tool and allows for greater accountability. Thus, it is an important tool for sustainable development, as the technological tool facilitates the collection, analysis, and updating of data, providing greater flexibility in addressing types and forms of serious financial and administrative corruption recognized internationally. It is also a tool that contributes to the development of better mechanisms to combat corruption and governance strategies, and environmental protection, health, education, communications, and poverty reduction are considered key indicators in preventing and combating corruption. This research reviews the role of modern technology in combating administrative and financial corruption in both developing and developed countries, as it is considered one of the most prominent factors that contribute to improving transparency and reducing opportunities for corruption, clarifying the relationship between corruption and sustainable development, and explaining how corruption negatively affects financial resources and hinders the achievement of social justice and economic development.

Abstract

The issues of combating poverty and sustainable development are among the most prominent challenges facing both developing and developed societies. Despite the efforts made by governments and international organizations, poverty still directly affects many countries, calling for the adoption of effective investment policies that improve economic and social conditions. Investment in combating poverty includes financial resources allocated to programs and policies aimed at improving the living standards of individuals in poor communities. This includes investments by governments and international organizations in sectors such as education, health, clean water, social finance, and job opportunities. Investing in combating poverty and achieving sustainable development is a long-term process that requires strong commitment from governments, international institutions, and civil society organizations alike. Investment in this area represents a cornerstone for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, which are not limited to improving economic conditions but also extend to promoting social justice and reducing development gaps between different segments of society. The research addresses seizing investment opportunities in Babil Governorate for the period 2021-2024 across all governorate projects. Among the most important conclusions of the research is the need to increase investment in infrastructure and local labor, as well as investment in projects targeting the poorest segments of the governorate's population. The most important finding of the research is the significant impact of investment opportunities in combating poverty and improving the living conditions of the governorate's residents. This contributes to achieving sustainable development for Babil Governorate in particular and Iraq in general.

Abstract

This research examines the legal responsibility of the state in achieving sustainable human development, as a fundamental aspect of the modern state's social and economic function. The study highlights the conceptual and legal framework of sustainable human development, outlining the constitutional, legislative, and international bases that impose legal obligations on the state to adopt effective development policies. It also addresses the role of strategic human resource management as a key mechanism for implementing this responsibility, particularly in combating poverty and unemployment. The research adopts an analytical approach to relevant constitutional and statutory texts, supported by selected doctrinal perspectives and international standards in the fields of development and human rights. The study concludes that the lack of integration between the legal framework and strategic human resource management policies contributes to the persistence of poverty and unemployment, underscoring the need for a comprehensive legislative and administrative vision that strengthens investment in human capital and enhances the state's obligations toward achieving sustainable human development.

Abstract

The industrial policy in Iraq after 2003 contributed to the decline in the sustainability component of economic growth And the lack of economic growth in Iraq to the element of sustainability after 2003, as a result of the continued dependence on crude oil, and the decline in the relative importance of the manufacturing sector in the economic structure, and the trends of economic policies and industrial policy contributed to the exacerbation of this result. The strategies and directions that were put forward after 2003 are based on betting on the private sector and market mechanisms to advance this sector in return for excluding the state and limiting its activity to a purely regulatory framework through the adoption of a horizontal industrial policy. This paper calls for the adoption of a rational, realistic approach to address the problems of the industrial sector, based on combining the role of the market and the role of industrial policy. Market mechanisms alone cannot achieve production efficiency and social justice in light of problems and imbalances, and the presence of high unemployment, as well as the deterioration of the business environment and the weakness of the side. Security and its well-known complexities. The desired reform in which the state should play a balanced and integrated role with the market, especially that the local private sector in Iraq, due to its well-known conditions, needs for a long time the state and its support.
