Sammanfattning Grundläggande mänskliga rättigheter är ett växande rättsområde, vilket illustreras av den ökande andelen mål med grund i mänskliga rättigheter vid Europeiska domstolar. Denna utveckling, i kombination med att rättighetskatalogen utvidgas och att de befintliga rättigheterna får en mer extensiv tolkning innebär oundvikligen att även mål där två mänskliga rättigheter ställs emot varandSummary Fundamental rights are an expanding area of law, which is demonstrated by the increasing number of cases in European courts drawing upon fundamental rights provisions. This development in combination with the expanding rights catalogue and a more extensive interpretation given to existing rights inevitably also leads to an increase in conflicts between fundamental rights. This issue has ho
The following study investigates the female main character in the novel The Bad Girl (2006), written by the Peruvian author Mario Vargas Llosa. In addition, it examines how she relates to the Marianismo, the Latin-American ideology that proposes that the woman's spiritual and moral capacity is superior to the man's, and favours the woman's sexual passivity and purity. The essay is base

The main questions are what perception of honor-related violence and oppression that are expressed in the action program, how the Swedish Democrat
Europaparlamentets och rådets direktiv 2012/13/EU om rätten till information vid straffrättsliga förfaranden utgör en del i en färdplan inom EU att förstärka rättighetsskyddet för misstänkta personer i brottmålsförfaranden. Artikel 7.1 i direktivet införlivades med svensk rätt den 1 juni 2014 genom införandet av 24 kap. 9 a § rättegångsbalken. Enligt artikel 7.1 i direktivet ska den som frihetsberDirective 2012/13/EU on the right to information in criminal proceedings (the Directive) is part of a road map within EU to strengthen the protection of rights of suspects in criminal proceedings.

Förorenar Arktiska samhällen sig själva och påverkas marina organismer i samband med detta? Ja, bara i Adventfjorden och Grønfjorden på Svalbard finns förorening från lokala källor för 14 av 57 analyserade flamskydds- och ytbehandlingsämnen i sediment. Inte så mycket tänker kanske du? Men den största anledningen till förekomsten av dessa ämnen är utsläpp av orenat avloppsvatten och läckage från sMost of the ecotoxicological research conducted in the Arctic until today has focused on long range transport of pollutants, while fewer studies on local pollution have been published. The aim of this study was hence to investigate if local pollution of organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and perfluorinated alkylated substances (PFAS) occurs outside tw
This thesis seeks to investigate the role of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Paris Agreement, and the Swedish Climate Act in the transition to net-zero in energy intensive industries, with a focus on the steel sector. Several empirical studies have previously been done on both national and international policies and how they influence low-carbon transitions and technological innovati
The meaning of human rights locally can vary depending on a city's context. Therefore, the approaches of working with human rights locally can differ. Swedish municipalities tend to lack a structure of approaching human rights. However, the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) is about to publish a framework for how European human rights cities can approach human rights. This t
Fiji has been plagued with issues hindering its economic development. Having experienced 4 coup d’états in the last 40 years owing to tension between the countries’ two majority ethnic groups, Fiji has developed a reputation for political instability. Lacklustre growth, weak structural transformation, and limited economic diversification have led to increased poverty levels. With the Covid-19 pand
Migration är en oundviklig och betydande konsekvens av klimatförändringar. Varje år tvingas millioner människor lämna sina hem i kölvattnet av katastrofer och fler väntas migrera i takt med att klimatförändringar ökar i frekvens och magnitud. Det saknas dock rättsliga mekanismer för att gripa an klimatrelaterad migration. Därmed syftar uppsatsen till att kritiskt undersöka i vilken utsträckning prMillions of people are displaced annually due to environmental stress and degradation, causing them to move in prospects of a sustainable livelihood. However, given the lack of mechanisms and systems to provide legal protection for displaced individuals, the future of such migrants is uncertain. Using a human rights-based approach, this thesis critically examines whether the principle of non-refou
Contributing 3% of global annual carbon emissions, the shipping sector has to do its part to keep the global temperature under the maximum increase of 2°C. To fulfil this target, the Netherlands conceived the ‘Green Deal on Maritime and Inland Shipping and Ports’ in 2019. This thesis aims to make a preliminary assessment on the policy’s effectiveness by applying Weber et al.’s environmental pol
Working to increase the sustainability of agriculture is a complex challenge of balancing food production and economic profitability with environmental and climatic impact. As the second largest exporter of agricultural products worldwide, the Netherlands is a global production hub, a leading example of high yields per hectare. However, with this high productivity comes intensive farming practices
I denna studie undersöks den icke-statliga och transnationella anti-abortdiskursen i Europa, genom en kvalitativ textanalys av dokument från olika ”pro-life”-organisationers hemsidor. Uppsatsen använder sig av Carol Bacchis diskursanalytiska metod What’s the problem represented to be – vilket är en analys som fokuserar på själva problemframställningen än problemet i sig. Genom att ställa specifika
