Avhandlingens syfte är att undersöka effektiviteten av tillgång till rättvisa för ursprungsbefolkningar i ljuset av rättigheterna till landområden, territorier och naturresurser. Detta kommer att göras genom att undersöka både rättspraxis från Interamerikanska domstolen för mänskliga rättigheter (och ett fall från Högsta domstolen i Brasilien), den rättsliga ramen på internationell nivå och andra The thesis's purpose is to look into the effectiveness of access to justice for indigenous peoples in the light of the rights to lands, territories and natural resources. This will be done by looking into both the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (and one case from the Supreme Court of Brazil), the legislative framework on an international level and other relevant sour

I takt med digitaliseringens frammarsch har allt fler delar av våra liv integrerats med digitala plattformar av diverse slag, genom vår användning av sociala medier, sökmotorer, prisjämförelseverktyg m.fl. Att detta påverkar vår vardag kan knappast låta häpnadsväckande – så pass vardagliga är dessa plattformar att vi kanske inte tänker något särskilt på vilka appar som är förinstallerade på våra tAs digitization advances, more and more parts of our lives have been integrated with digital platforms of various kinds, through our use of social media, search engines, price comparison tools, and various other services. That this affects our everyday life can hardly sound surprising – these platforms are so commonplace that we may not give much thought to which apps are pre-installed on our phon

Vid överprövning av upphandling saknas konsensus om hur domstolen ska hantera en viss invändning från motparten, nämligen påståendet om att den sökande leverantören inte uppfyller ett eller flera obligatoriska krav i upphandlingsdokumentet. Denna bristande konsensus tyder på att det finns olika uppfattningar om hur domstolens processram bestäms vid en överprövning av upphandling. Syftet med uppsIn judicial review of procurement, there is no consensus on how the court should address an objection from the opposing party claiming the applicant supplier does not meet one or more mandatory requirements in the procurement documents. This indicates differing views on determining the court's procedural framework in such reviews. This thesis aims to examine and analyze how the court should

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze how the political theorists Charles Merriam and Leo Strauss understood the relation between past, present and future. In contrast to dominating narratives about ideology, behaviorism and anachronism, this thesis presents a new understanding of how Merriam and Strauss made sense of temporality. My main argument is that they did so, not by looking away from t

This bachelor thesis investigates how women's representation in municipal councils affects the political agenda in two Swedish municipalities, Trelleborg and Landskrona. Through a qualitative analysis of municipal council minutes from the year 2022, it compares how issues related to women's rights and interests are addressed in these municipalities. The study applies theories from Lena Wän

I skuggan av den eskalerande brottsligheten kopplad till kriminella nätverk i Sverige har en intensiv debatt förts om hur man bäst ska bekämpa organiserad brottslighet. Ett av de mest diskuterade förslagen har varit införandet av visitationszoner, även kända som säkerhetszoner. Med bakgrund i lagändringar som tillåter avlyssning utan brottsmisstanke och ett ökat politiskt intresse för strängare åtIn the shadow of escalating crime linked to criminal networks in Sweden, an intense debate has been waged on how best to combat organized crime. One of the most discussed proposals has been the introduction of stop-and-search zones, also known as security zones. Against the backdrop of legislative changes that allow wiretapping without suspicion of crime and an increased political interest in stri

Terrorism och bekämpningen av den är ett alltid lika relevant ämne. Efter den 11 september 2001 var det en stor uppslutning bland det internationella samfundet och det slöts flera överenskommelser både i Förenta nationerna och senare även på EU-nivå. Det är dessa överenskommelser som lade grunden till den svenska lagstiftningen mot terrorism. De senaste åren har Sverige valt en ny metod i kampen mTerrorism and the struggle against it are always relevant topics. After the terror attacks on the 11th of September 2001 the international community rallied together against international terrorism. Both the United Nations and the European Union came to several agreements among themselves to fight terrorism. These agreements and conventions laid the groundwork for the Swedish legislation on the su

How do countries become democratic? By employing process tracing this comparative case study strives to test the sufficiency of Jean Grugel’s alternative theoretical framework for explaining democratic transition and consolidation. The framework explains democratization as the result of interacting mechanisms within three different dimensions of society; the state, the civil society and the global

Barnets bästa är en central princip som har sin grund i barnkonventionen. Be- stämmelsen är intagen i såväl UtlL som LVU men dock med skilda formule- ringar. Barnets bästa ska beaktas och väga tungt i utvisningsärenden men vara avgörande i LVU-ärenden. Uppsatsens syftar till att beskriva vad principen barnets bästa innebär enligt gällande rätt, men också genom en empirisk undersökning av såväl LVUThe best interest of the child is a fundamental principle rooted in the Conven- tion on the Rights of the Child. This provision is included in both UtlL and LVU, although with different formulations. The best interest of the child should be considered and carry significant weight in deportation cases but be decisive in LVU cases. The aim of the essay is to describe what the principle of the best i

In 2018, the European Union (EU) adopted a revised version of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED 2). The directive introduced new objectives for the EU’s renewable energy sector and aimed to support the provision of renewable energy in the EU. After its adoption, the directive would be implemented in each EU member state. This thesis analyzes Sweden’s implementation of the RED 2 and applies a the

Miljöförstöringar har identifierats av Förenta nationerna (FN) som ett bety-dande hot mot internationell fred och säkerhet, vilket innefattar risker för både mänskligheten och miljön. I denna uppsats utforskas begreppet ekocid, all-mänt förstått som massförstörelse och skadegörelse av ekosystem, allvarlig skada på naturen som är utbredd eller långvarig, och dess potentiella inklude-ring som ett inEnvironmental degradation is identified by the United Nations as a significant threat to international peace and security and poses profound risks to both humanity and the environment, encompassing every aspect of our existence. This thesis explores the concept of ecocide, broadly understood as mass dam-age and destruction of ecosystems, severe harm to nature which is widespread or long-term, and

To become a member of the European Union, the applicant country must meet the accession criteria established in the Copenhagen Declaration, commonly referred to as the Copenhagen criteria. While these criteria serve as formal guidelines, previous research has shown that they alone cannot explain when and how a country will join the union. Instead, it is argued that the justification and discursive

Previously the majority of tv-shows about crime have had male protagonists. But lately, more tv-shows have been portraying female criminal protagonists. Simultaneously there has been an increasing interest in women who participate in drug trafficking from the media and the Swedish government. The aim of this thesis is therefore to investigate how women are portrayed within tv-shows when participat

The aim of this thesis is to examine the difference in expression of affective polarization in opinion pieces between traditional media and new media. Specifically through studying articles and posts made by elite actors as through parliament commissioners in the Swedish parliament. This is studied through the political field of immigration as it is a central field in the political dimension of cu

I samband med påföljdsreformen år 1989 infördes preciserade regler för påföljdsval och straffmätning i det svenska straffrättssystemet, med syftet att öka förutsägbarheten och möjliggöra en enhetlig rättstillämpning. Bland annat infördes billighetsskälen, ett antal skäl hänförliga gärningspersonen, dennes agerande eller sådant som inträffat efter begånget brott. I det fall omständigheten är av särIn connection with the Swedish penal reform of 1989, specific rules for sentencing and penalty assessment were introduced into the Swedish criminal justice system, with the aim of increasing predictability and enabling uniform application of the law. The grounds for equity were established, consisting of various factors related to the offender, his or her actions, or events occurred after the crim

FN:s handelskommission UNCITRAL har tagit fram en konvention om verkställighet av internationella medlingsöverenskommelser, den s.k. Singaporekonventionen. Konventionen möjliggör att internationella privata aktörer kan verkställa internationella kommersiella medlingsöverenskommelser i respektive avtalsslutande parters stater. Konventionen öppnade för anslutning år 2020 och i maj 2024 hade 56 ländeThe United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) has developed a convention on the enforcement of settlement agreements resulting from international commercial mediation, known as the Singapore Convention. The convention allows international private actors to enforce international commercial mediation settlement agreements in the states of the respective contracting parties. The

I den svenska rättsprocessen behandlas inte barn riktigt på samma sätt som vuxna. Mot bakgrund av att det ansetts olämpligt att låta mindre barn medverka i rättegångar på grund av den psykiska påfrestning det kan innebära för barnet att tvingas infinna sig i rätten har det etablerats en huvudregel som innebär att barn under femton år varken behöver eller bör närvara vid en rättegång. Huvudregeln mIn the Swedish judicial process, children are not treated in quite the same way as adults. Given that it has been deemed inappropriate to involve young children in trials due to the psychological strain it can impose on the child to be forced to appear in court, a main rule has been established which means that children under the age of fifteen neither need nor should be present at a trial. This m

The aim of this study is to investigate the short term change regarding deprivation of liberty of children in Sweden. There has been media coverage on the subject since adolescents are committing grave crimes in Sweden and the politicians want to change how the children are deprived of their liberty. The study compares legislation from 2023, 2024 and a proposed legislation that could take effect i

Lagen (1988:609) om målsägandebiträde, vilken medger en rätt till biträde för brottsoffer som utsatts för särskilt allvarlig brottslighet, har varit en central lagstiftning för att stärka brottsoffrets intressen i rättsprocessen. Till följd av en lagreform som genomfördes år 2018 har dock rätten begränsats i högre rätt. Detta har i sin tur mötts av omfattande kritik med hänsyn till brottsoffrens iThe Act (1988:609) on Counsel for Injured Parties, which grants the right to counsel for victims of particularly serious crimes, has been a significant piece of legislation for strengthening the interests and rights of crime victims within the legal process. However, a legal reform enacted in 2018 has limited this right in higher courts. This has been met with extensive criticism concerning the in

The foundation of this research lies in the recent shift of Swedish foreign policy, where the current government chose to abolish the feminist foreign policy in favor of pursuing a primarily Swedish and European foreign policy. The objects of the study are two governments: the current liberal and conservative government and the former social democratic and green government. This research investiga
