Art, communication, and law may seem like three distinct fields, yet they are deeply interconnected in shaping and regulating human life. Art, with all its beauty, serves as a profound medium of communication, often capable of conveying messages that words alone cannot express. Paintings, music, dance, and films all speak a universal language that transcends cultural and linguistic boundaries, allowing artists to communicate emotions, ideas, and social critiques to a wide audience.

On the other hand, law plays a crucial role in regulating this artistic expression, creating boundaries while also protecting the freedom of expression. Copyright law, for example, safeguards works of art from misuse, ensuring that artists receive their due rights, while censorship laws attempt to balance artistic freedom with public interest. However, behind these regulations, tension often arises when a work of art is perceived to violate certain social norms or laws, sparking debates about the extent to which freedom of expression should be protected.

Communication within art is also a powerful tool, where visual and performative elements play a role in conveying complex or controversial messages in a way that words alone cannot. Artists like Banksy, for instance, use street art to deliver sharp social critiques and provoke public reflection.

The collaboration between art, communication, and law has become increasingly prominent in social and political campaigns, where artists work together with communication experts and legal professionals to create works that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also legally sound and impactful in shaping public opinion. In this context, art becomes more than just personal expression; it becomes a tool for social change, supported by a strong legal framework.

Ultimately, art, communication, and law form a synergy that allows for the creation of a society that values beauty and creativity while remaining grounded in rules and justice. This interconnectedness enriches our lives, enabling us not only to express ourselves but also to build a more just and harmonious world. Rahayu.

GATRA DEWATA | ALGER | In flagrant violation of all international conventions against military recruitment of children, “Polisario Front” is shown red-handed during the visit of special envoy of the Secretary General of the United Nations, Mr. Staffan de Mistura, accompanied by a UN delegation to Tindouf camps, located on Algerian territory. This is the second visit on his first tour in the region since his appointment in last November 2021.

In the same vein, January 04, 2021, The French NGO “International Alliance for Rights and Freedoms” (AIDL) strongly condemns the recruitment of children and their exploitation in conflicts and wars.

According to the same organization, the recruitment and exploitation of children by immersing them in areas of conflict and war, is an international crime that requires international prosecution against all criminals who are involved.

Everyone knows that the Sahrawi children are forced to move to Cuba, with the aim of indoctrinating them ideologically, subjecting them to military training and exploiting them while depriving them of all contact with their families. This forced immigration is considered a serious violation of the provisions of the Protocol against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, hence the civil and criminal liability of Polisario leaders and their accomplices.

The last visit made in Tindouf camps by Staffan de Mistura and his stuff lay bare the involvement of “Polisario Front” on military recruitment of children. (PERSISMA/Red)
