The constitution of Duty Free Shops in India is also governed by the provisions of the Customs law dealing with Custom Bonded Warehouses. Special permission from Customs Authority is required in order to move the goods from a Customs Bonded Warehouse to a duty free shops for onward sale to passengers. No duty of Customs is levied when such movement takes place, for the reason that the goods never get cleared for home consumption and do not cross the Customs frontier. Moreover, such goods without crossing the customs frontier are taken out of the country by outbound passengers. There are also cases where goods made in India (indigenous or domestic goods) are supplied to these retail outlets for onward sale to passengers.
- Goods brought into the country are stored in Custom Bonded Warehouses.
- Shops have to take permission from a customs authority in order to move the goods from a warehouse for the onward sale to passengers
- This movement does not levy taxes because the goods do not cross the 'frontier of customs'

Working hard doesn’t mean working all the time, it just means working consistently towards a reasonable goal or target - and that these goals/targets vary from person to person.
What's a better way to format this?

I could study the whole day, cancel meeting friends, miss out on social gatherings, etc. and spend that time studying too - but I was not getting better marks than I got before. I was just giving up enjoyment with nothing to show for it.
What is the point of this? Is it clearly reflected?

While intellectual property rights are not the only reason for inequitable access to Covid-19 vaccines and therapeutics, they are a significant barrier. Similarly, while a waiver is not the only means to tackle the lack of access to health technologies, it is an essential element in facilitating equitable access.

For artificial intelligence to demonstrate true sentience, it would have to go beyond using natural language, and show thinking, perception and feeling.

Hence, the rights of rivers discourse open up an opportunity, albeit complex, of understanding the issues of transboundary rivers, and possible collaborations between neighbouring countries on ecological grounds.
Due to the internet, regulation on AI in one country will affect it's usage in all countries
-
If we consider the river simply as a flowing body of water, rights are limited. If we consider them as eco-systems then the ambit includes aquatic flora and fauna, biodiversity in it's areas, etc.
Rights would then include ecological causes and conditions making up the natural habitat are to be protect to maintain a river's identity and integrity.
If this is allowed, then destructive activities that are done upon a river, or too river water can be stopped altogether, because they'll be considered an afront on the legal person's identity.

If it turns out we are creating a race–because in a sense we're creating a race of robots–and that race is falling into this same pattern of being exploited for labor while having no rights or recognition... if this pattern is being repeated..." he says while rubbing his temples, "if we have a bunch of machines doing our bidding and they have some potential to become sentient, then we are morally culpable."

Things can’t represent their own interests in court. Only persons can represent their interests in court. It’s a catch-22 if you (or someone acting on your behalf) think you’ve been miscategorized as a thing and your goal is to convince a judge that you’re actually a person.
How will AI represent their interests in court.

In and of itself, it does not mean anything, it is just a container. Personhood is a container for rights. A thing, by definition, cannot have a right. But once personhood is recognized, you have a container in which to begin dripping rights. So, while we argue a lot about personhood, the real fundamental thing at play here is rights, and we argue that the rights to bodily liberty and bodily integrity are fundamental to chimpanzees, the same way they are to us. Personhood is simply the concept we have evolved to stand for the idea of a rights container.

Let yourself be free and just say the first thing that comes into your mind
