På senare år har debatten kring lagen varit extra intensiv, och kritiken kommer framför allt från forskare inom samhällsvetenskap, rättsvetenskap och humaniora. Kritiken mot lagen och Sveriges etikprövningssystem går i första hand ut på att etikprövningslagen försvårar vissa typer av forskning till den graThe Swedish Act (2003:460) concerning the ethical review of research involving humans (“Ethical Review Act”) has been widely criticized since its introduction.

The ICT sector’s greenhouse gas emissions are comparable to those of the aviation industry, and the actors within the sector have a responsibility to reduce these in order to help combat global warming. A relatively new area of concern is the climate impact of software due to energy consumption. For example, AI has been acknowledged as an emissions-hungry technology because of the large computatio

Uppsatsen behandlar skiljedomstolen Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) som med sitt säte i Lausanne i Schweiz har varit den huvudsakliga globala skiljedomstolen vid sporträttsliga tvister sedan grundandet 1981. CAS har många fördelar som tex snabba och effektiva avgöranden av skiljedomare med kompetens inom sporträtt, men dess opartiskhet och självständighet har ständigt ifrågasatts genom åren.

With this research I have answered the twofold question of how Cuba played a part in the making of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and what differences and similarities that can be found between the Cuban draft of Human Rights versus the final product of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Since there is no previous research in this field I have chosen to look at some of the most

The International Criminal Court (ICC) was created as a compliment to domestic courts in the global fight against impunity. However, customary international law has afforded Heads of State with immunity from prosecution, even for serious international crimes. Some key challenges of international criminal law are to reconcile the competing objectives of maintaining stable international relations, a

In an era of economic globalization shaped by hegemonic capitalism, resistance movements introduce different alternatives for a life beyond capitalism. The powerful and dominant system logic criticizes such movements for being utopian dreamers with no pragmatic sense of plausible social change. The 'ontology of the possible' for emancipatory social change is dominated by the coloniality of

Abstract The European Union is unique in the sense that it promotes human rights and labour rights through its trade policies and agreements. The EU is the world’s largest economy and it plays an important role in today’s world trade. Through the inclusion of human rights and labour rights clauses in the EU’s common external trade policy and its Generalised scheme of preferences (GSP), the EU seek

Barnamord är ett brott som genom historien väckt mycket uppmärksamhet och som gör det än idag, vilket har synts i hur brottet reglerats i lag. Denna uppsats syftar till att förklara varför regleringen av barnamord såg ut som den gjorde under 1600- och 1700-talet och hur regleringen påverkade dåtidens kvinnor. Barnamord reglerades inte som ett specifikt brott förrän under 1600-talet. Regleringen In history as well as today, infanticide is a crime that has received a lot of attention which can be seen in the way the crime has been regulated in law. This essay’s purpose is to explain why the regulation of infanticide looked the way it did during the 17th and 18th centuries and how the regulation affected the women of the time. Infanticide was not regulated as a specific crime until the 17t

Under 2015 ansökte 162 877 personer asyl i Sverige. Av dessa asylsökande var 35 369 ensamkommande barn. Detta var en femdubbling jämfört med föregående år. När den som söker asyl är ett barn har denne fler rättigheter och högre krav ställs på mottagandet. Det ansågs därmed viktigt att skapa en metod för att fastställa huruvida dessa asylsökande verkligen var under 18 år. Rättsmedicinalverket fick In 2015, 162 877 people applied for asylum in Sweden. 35 369 of these asylum seekers were unaccompanied minors. This was a five-fold increase compared to the previous year. When an asylum seeker is an unaccompanied minor he or she should benefit of certain rights, including housing, schooling and potential family unification. It was therefore considered necessary to put in place a medical age asse

The purpose of the study is to investigate how the secrecy that prevails between municipalities, more precisely between social administrations, can be an obstacle in the case of a family home placement.

Water is arguably the world’s most valuable endangered resource, the management of which has been subject of contentious debate that in recent years has gained growing political, economic and media attention. This study intends to make use of that momentum by constructing a framework for quantifying global water crisis risk that is applied to assess both the EU’s share of such risk and the success

Konflikten i Syrien har resulterat i en av de största flyktingkatastroferna på senare tid. I brist på lagliga flyktvägar till Europa, tvingas flyktingar anlita människosmugglare för att fly krig i sitt hemland. De tvingas ofta betala stora summor pengar för den riskfyllda resan över Medelhavet och vidare genom Europa. Resan är ofta lång och långt ifrån alla lyckas nå sitt mål. I samband med de stoThe current conflict in Syria has resulted in a major refugee disaster. The lack of legal refugee routes to Europe is forcing refugees to hire smugglers to escape war in their homeland. They are often forced to pay large sums of money for the hazardous journey across the Mediterranean Sea and further through Europe. These journeys are often far stretched and not many are successful. Due to the war
