There is currently no international consensus on how human germline engineering should be regulated. Existing national legislation fails to provide the governance framework necessary to regulate germline engineering in the CRISPR era. This is an obstacle to scientific and clinical advancements and inconsistent with human rights requirements. To move forward, we suggest that the human right to scie

Responsibility to Protect (R2P) provides a moral basis for collective action through the UN Security Council in reaction to mass atrocity situations. However, this avenue is not always available. The question then arises whether other actors can and should assume responsibility in such circumstances and, if so, which kinds of measures they may pursue. The present article examines this question wit

The UN Security Council's involvement in the area of international criminal justice raises concerns about judicial independence. Of primary concern in this study is the degree to which this political organ has come to determine and restrict jurisdiction of international criminal tribunals, with the effect of excluding cases involving alleged grave crimes by actors whose presence in situations of w

The possibility of prosecuting serious international crimes before domestic foreign courts when territorial courts are unwilling and unable to perform this function and international criminal tribunals with suitable competences are unavailable has been intensively debated since the time of the Spanish arrest warrants against Pinochet. The African disapproval of decisions by European courts to exer

Denna sammanläggningsavhandling består av fyra artiklar, som alla berör olika utvidgningar av Standardmodellen (SM). De första två artiklarna behandlar en specifik, supersymmetrisk, storförenad teori (GUT), medan de senare två klassificerar alla anomali-fria instanser av 2-Higgs-dubblett modeller (2HDMs) med en gauge:ad abelsk symmetri. Artikel I. I denna artikel presenterar vi en alternativ lösniThis thesis is composed of four papers, which all treat various extensions to the Standard Model (SM). The first two papers concern a particular supersymmetric, grand-unified theory (GUT), while in the latter two, we classify anomaly-free implementations of two-Higgs doublet models (2HDM) with a gauged abelian symmetry. Paper I. In this paper, we present an alternative solution for avoiding GUT-sc

Bringing together a group of outstanding judges, scholars and experts with first-hand experience in the field of transitional justice in Latin America and Spain, this book offers an insider’s perspective on the enhanced role of courts in prosecuting serious human rights violations and grave crimes, such as genocide and war crimes, committed in the context of a prior repressive regime or current co
