Barns rättigheter har konsekvent missbrukats under väpnade konflikter. Det har skett mer än 266 000 allvarliga kränkningar av barns rättigheter mellan 2005 och 2020, även om det verkliga antalet förmodligen är högre. FN har identifierat sex allvarliga kränkningar av barns rättigheter vid väpnade konflik-ter. Avhandlingen syftar till att belysa hur upprättelse för kränkningar av de sex allvarliga kChildren’s rights have consistently been abused during armed conflicts. There have been more than 266,000 grave violations against children’s rights be-tween 2005 and 2020, even though the real number probably is higher. The UN has identified six grave violations against children’s right during armed conflict. The thesis aims to highlight how the reparation for violation of the six grave violation

The Maha Oya (river) originates in the Kandy district of Sri Lanka and travels about 130 km passing four districts to reach the sea at Kochchikade in Sri Lanka. It holds the 3rd largest average annual runoff among the 103 of distinct river basins in Sri Lanka. Its contribution as a fresh water source is of great significance. During year 2004 the river provided five percent of the total production

Disability is an aspect that forms a significant part of the human condition. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) an estimated 1 billion people worldwide live with a disability. That accounts for roughly 15 % of the entire human population, and therefore it has been sometimes referred to as the world's largest minority. The presence of people with disability is a phenomenon that i

This thesis investigates how the experience of founding a youth-led social-innovation project can enhance young people’s agency for sustainable development, through a qualitative single-case study of Ashoka Belgium’s 2023 Youth for Change (Y4C) programme. Grounded in a social-constructivist, abductive logic, the study uses semi-structured interviews and mobilises three strands of scholarship—Socia

This thesis examines whether the general principle of the right to good, as enshrined in Article 41 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (CFR), can be considered an independent justiciable right for individuals. The analysis focuses in particular on recent concerns about rule of law backsliding in certain Member States and the resulting limitations on effective judicial prote

Some numerical methods approximate the Jacobian using finite differences as part of their process. The finite difference method of approximation resembles the limit definition of the derivative. Since a computer cannot handle the mathematical concept of limits, a sufficiently small number has to be chosen as an increment. However, when the increments are chosen outside of certain acceptable ranges

We have identified a number of different roles within the controller’s role itself. Two types of discrepancies were discovered. The first one, called interpretation gap shows that there is a discrepancy between the managers’ expectations on the role of the controller and the controllers’ interpretation of these expectations. The second discrepancy illustrates that there are expectation gaps occurr

Abstract This thesis addresses the effects of parking accessibility on work commuting and the potential to use parking policies as a tool to support mobility management and enhance sustainable commuting in Lund. The structure rests on two folds: first, it provides a theoretical background on different parking policies and factors influencing work commuting; second, it provides an analysis of Lund

Odling av genetiskt modifierade organismer (GMO) har länge varit ett omdebatterat och politiskt känsligt ämne i EU. Sådan odling väcker en mängd olika betänksamheter och frågor hos europeiska medborgare. I spektrumet återfinns bland annat frågor om risker för miljön och hälsa till socioekonomiska och etiska betänkligheter. Den här uppsatsen undersöker medlemstaters möjligheter att svara upp mot så

The current OECD´s PE threshold requires either a direct physical presence (fixed place of business) or an indirect presence through a legal representative (dependent agent). On the other hand, Model Conventions such as the UN MC, provide a wider PE threshold, including income generating activities which are not included under the OECD PE threshold. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the UN MC

Stock markets around the world bear one thing in common, the presence of stock companies of different sizes, whereby two common representatives of size are small- and large-cap stocks. As of late, newspapers and financial institutes have reported a on a divergence in performance between these assets, associated with the increasing interest rates. The aim of this paper was to further explore the re

The ECJ’s judgment of 27 January 2021 in the case C-595/18 P (the ”Goldman Sachs case”) has caused a big buzz in the ever growing Private Equity sector. It confirmed the ruling of the GCEU of July 2018 case T-419/14 which in turn confirmed the Commission’s decision according to which Goldman Sachs has been held liable for an antitrust infringement committed by one of its portfolio companies. In al

This study provides a new perspective on the subject by specifically examining corporate bonds issued by Swedish real estate companies during the years 2019 to 2023. It is investigated whether explanatory var

Alongside the rising prominence of human rights on the international agenda, the issue of environmental impacts of corporations has also become mor
