The legal framework in Kenya today is akin to a ‘right-angled triangle’ with the African Traditional Society as the hypotenuse, the Islamic law as the adjacent side and the English law as the opposite side. These ‘Pythagorean’ triples have informed both the Kenyan Family law history and practice. Kadhis’ Courts applying Islamic law of personal status have been in East Africa for over 200 years now

Under början av 1900-talet var illegala aborter ett samhällsproblem i Sverige. Fosterfördrivning var straffbelagt, kvinnor som blivit ovilligt gravida stod därför inför valet att antingen föda barnet eller genomföra abort på egen hand. År 1939 trädde den första lagen på området, lagen om avbrytande av havandeskap, 1938 års lag, i kraft. Lagen tillämpades mycket restriktivt och antalet illegala aboIllegal abortions were a social issue in Sweden during the 20th century. Abortions were punishable, and therefore a woman who became pregnant against her will stood before the choice of either unwillingly giving birth or carrying out an abortion on her own. In 1939 the first law on abortions came into force. The law was restrictively interpreted and the number of illegal abortions continued to inc

På 1970-talet stämde en grupp samer den svenska staten då de ansåg sig ha bättre rätt till ett geografiskt område kallat Skattefjällen. Samer är av svenska staten erkända som ett ursprungsfolk, och som en minoritetsgrupp. Skattefjällsmålet togs upp av Högsta domstolen 1981 och resulterade i ett prejudikat som sedan dess haft stort inflytande på de flesta mål som berört samers rättigheter. Syftet In the 1970s a group of Sami people sued the Swedish State claiming a better right to a geographic area referred to as the Taxed Mountain (Skattefjällen). The Sami people are recognised as an indigenous people, and a minority group, by the Swedish State. The Taxed Mountain Case (Skattefjällsmålet), that reached the Supreme Court (Högsta domstolen) in the year of 1981, resulted in a precedent that

Den i folkrätten vedertagna definitionen av jus cogens är att normerna är universella och tvingande med syfte att skydda vissa grundläggande värderingar. Det pågår emellertid en diskussion i den folkrättsliga doktrinen kring huruvida normer av sådan karaktär kan existera även i en uteslutande regional kontext, och rättighets- och skyldighetskatalogen i Europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskJus cogens, as established by international law, is defined as universal and peremptory norms with the objective of protecting certain fundamental values. There is, however, an ongoing debate in the international legal discourse as to whether norms of peremptory nature can exist in an exclusively regional context, and the rights and obligations in the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) hav

Målsättningen att minska koldioxidutsläppen i världen har lett till en ökad efterfrågan på elbilar. Elbilar ses som en nyckelfaktor för EU:s omställning till en klimatneutral ekonomi. Det ökar efterfrågan på nödvändiga råvaror till elbilsbatterier som EU vill trygga tillgången på. För det ändamålet har kommissionen tagit fram en handlingsplan om batterier. Handlingsplanen om batterier identifierarThe goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the world has led to increased demand for electric cars. Electric cars are seen as a key factor for the EU's transition to a climate-neutral economy. This increases the demand for the necessary raw materials for electric car batteries, which the EU wants to secure access to. To this end, the Commission has drawn up an action plan on batteries. T

Termen konkurrens uppfattas ofta som mångtydig. Trots dess ansedda mångtydighet företar konkurrensrätten som rättsområde att skydda konkurrensen. Sällan förekommer diskussioner i den juridiska litteraturen gällande betydelsen av konkurrens. De definitioner som har angetts förefaller undermåliga i relation to ordets allmänna innebörd. Hur kan vi då ha sammanhållet rättsområde samt skydda konkurrensThe word competition is often regarded as being ambiguous. Despite the word’s ambiguity the field of competition law undertakes to protect competition. In the legal literature the definition of the meaning of the word is seldom discussed. When it is being defined, the definitions appear to be inadequate regarding the words meaning in everyday speech. How it is then possible to have a coherent area

Skånes konsumtion kan påverka en hållbar utveckling i världen Hur påverkar lokala politiska åtgärder implementationen av Agenda 2030? Finns det en risk för att åtgärder motverkar en hållbar utveckling? En växande konsumtion är en av världens stora hållbarhetsutmaningar. Överexploatering av naturresurser och föroreningar i luft och vatten är några av konsekvenserna. Konsumtion i Skåne påverkar omgThe pace of implementing the 17 global sustainability goals must increase drastically. The complexity of the goals is a challenge and mapping out interactions between them is identified as a way to explore their system properties and improve implementation. Sustainability goal 12 (sustainable consumption and production) has been suggested as one of the areas that affects and interacts with most ot

In people’s modern life, daily usage of artificial compounds such as active pharmaceuticals ingredients (API) is usual. These compounds are likely to end up as micropollutants in the municipal wastewater. Municipal wastewater is the major source of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment. These chemicals can affect the health and behavior of wildlife and the local ecological system. Thus, it is

At the turn of the century the Commission announced its intention to introduce a ‘more economic approach’ to EU competition law. Beyond incorporating modern economic theory into its enforcement practices, such a modernised approach to competition law was also to entail bringing the Union’s competition policy objectives in line with such modern economic theory. In particular, as expressed by Mario

The process of globalisation, accompanied by sustainable development considerations, has turned the spotlight on ties between states’ trade interests and their commitment to upholding labour rights. With negotiations on connecting the existent multilateral trading framework to the labour rights perspective at an impasse, major world economies have introduced alternative ways of linking labour conc

Hållbarhetsfrågor tar stort fokus i dagens debatter, personliga livsstilar samt företagens marknadsföring och affärsmodeller. Miljöarbetet i byggsektorn drivs framåt via bland annat miljöcertifieringssystem. Framförallt nybyggnation präglas idag starkt av skärpta miljölagkrav och miljöcertifieringar tillämpas här i stor utsträckning. Vikten av miljöarbetet med redan befintliga byggnader hamnar oftThe subject sustainability is taking a great amount of spotlight in most debates of modern society. This time the focus is on business models and marketing as well as the influences that sustainable certification systems have within the building sector. Especially when constructing new buildings, the new and stricter sustainability laws and certifications are setting the foundations of a new era.

Earnings assimilation is the process of convergence between the wages of e.g. women and men or a native and an immigrant. Frequently people refer to earnings assimilation as a way to look into the level of integration of an individual. But it is important to note that the fact that a person earns as much as the one that surround them or even above the average does not mean that he or she is integr

In order to achieve the goal of sustainable banking, banks such as commercial banks have to adopt proactive strategies for reducing internal operation risks from environmental issues thereby realizing long-term profitability by external financing of environmentally friendly products and services. As a general pathway to sustainable banking, environmental risk management (ERM) is regarded as a prev

The mandatory report legislation under Chapter 14, 1 § Social Services Act, imposes an obligation to report to social services if they suspect child maltreatment. The interest for our thesis topic was brought when we read articles and previous research showing that preschool teachers and well baby nurses do not always notify when they suspect child maltreatment. The aim of this study was to examin

It can no longer be refuted that greywater reuse is paramount to curbing the persistent global water crisis. Of the domestic wastewaters, greywater is less polluted than blackwater, but treatment is still necessary to make it safe for reuse. The most common greywater reuse application is toilet flushing. However, the use of vacuum toilets in the Oceanhamnen project, covered in this thesis, means t

In Switzerland the one-and-a-half-earner model where the father is the primary wage-earner working full-time and the woman is the secondary wage-earner working part-time while taking over the majority of care and housework responsibilities is predominant. This is discussed criti-cally as the normative and institutional context incentivises parents to adopt a division of labour that disadvantages w
