Offer för brott mot mänskliga rättigheter orsakade av multinationella företags aktiviteter möter stora rättsliga luckor och hinder när de försöker utkräva kompensation för skador. Bolagsrätten som täcker dessa situationer har inte ännu anpassats till förändringarna som den globaliserade världen inneburit, och de komplexa strukturerna som multinationella företag består av idag.

En återkommande fråga i svensk skadeståndsrätt har varit vilket ansvar föräldrar ska tillskrivas då deras barn vållar skada. Genom en lagreform år 2010 infördes ett principalansvar, med innebörden att en förälder som har vårdnaden om ett barn ska ersätta skada som barnet orsakar genom brott.

Because of sex assignment procedures, intersex children are investigated, diagnosed and in many cases “treated” with surgical and hormonal interventions, sometimes irreversible and given without the individual’s consent.
