Child marriage is the marriage of a young person who is under the age of 18. The child marriage issue is increasing in the Arab world day by day due to the economic, health, social and psychological effects that influence the girls and society. Significant factors that contribute to the prevalence of child marriages in Saudi Arabia are religious beliefs. Child marriage can cause a dispute in families of both spouses due to the child’s lack of capability and responsibility of taking care of the spouse, starting a family and the inability to raise a child, which can impact the society at the same time. Many international agencies have declared that child marriage violates human rights, as child marriage harms the rights of the child to health, education, and life that is free from exploitation by their parents. However, the prohibition of child marriages can be the first step towards eliminating child marriage in Saudi, which is what the Shura Council is trying to achieve. This research aims to make people aware of harms that are connected with child marriage, and to provide solutions that can prevent the issue of child marriage.	Mashael Alasiri 201500737

13	Adaptation of Contracts due to Unforeseen Events or Force Majeure The fundamental principle of sanctity of contracts (pacta sunt servanda) is an international doctrine that guides operationalization of contracts. It suggests that in a contract, the obligor must remain bound to the terms under any conditions in accordance with predictability of the law and the principle of good faith. Nevertheless, circumstances during implementation of a contract may significantly change in future due to unforeseen events. This fact may become burdening for one side in such cases when supervening events collapse the foundation of a contract, making the obligor unable to reasonably uphold the agreement. Adaptation of an arrangement is the process of reviewing and renegotiating it when unforeseen hardships occur. While there is no universal law of contract adaptation, most of the existing regional or international doctrines are founded on similar provisions and/or ideologies. Contractual renegotiations are procedural, and they may sometimes involve third parties if the two parent sides cannot strike an agreement. In this view, different arbitrary and negotiation processes may be adopted to find common ground. This research paper examines adaptation of contracts due to unforeseen events or force majeure. It delves into probable causes of contract adaptation and the main ways of the procedure.Primarily, the mechanism is a remedy to the limitations of pacta sunt servanda, and it may be considered in various cases of unforeseen hardships.

4	The Relationship between International Court of Justice and the Security Council The United Nations is an umbrella body which has other organs. One of these organs of the United Nations is the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). The other organ, which is judicial, is the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Even though many people believe that the UNSC and ICJ perform different functions and are independent of each other, the truth is that these two organs are not fully independent of each other. The fact that International Court of Justice is purely judicial in nature while United Nations Security Council is tasked to maintain peace and security makes the functions of UNSC and ICJ to be worlds apart. However, the former has more powers than the latter and there is a constant interference of the work of the ICJ by the UNSC. This article is going to discuss the way the UN Security Council interferes with the operations of the International Court of Justice, be it in the rulings that the ICJ makes or in the appointment of the ICJ judges.
