The present study analyzes the right to land for indigenous peoples by emphasizing its multi-dimensional perspective and its collective economic, social and cultural aspects.

The possible and actual po

In this thesis, emphasise is on the positive impact companies that can have on the fulfilment of human rights. Regarding human rights and business, one can mainly read about companies' violations of human rights. In my opinion, this negative approach will not stimulate them to improve their policies and performances. A more positive approach can be a motivation for companies to take the opport

Minorities are the part of a population that suffer most from conflict and are most likely to become victims of crimes under international law. This is acknowledged by one of the fundamental principles of minority rights law, namely the contribution to peace and stability. Furthermore, the major international legal instruments governing the rights of minorities relate to this objective, by setting

In the doctrine, Articles 7(1)(b) to (d) CTMR, which preclude the registration of non-distinctive, descriptive and generic signs, are considered to form a part of a single, indivisible concept of distinctiveness, which is one of the most fundamental concepts in trade mark law. When assessing the distinctiveness of trade marks under these provisions, the CFI and the ECJ insist that all categories o

In view of creating a common area of freedom, security and justice in the European Union, its Member States have increased their cooperation and coordination in the field of border protection and migration management. Over the last years they have focused on the 'external dimension' of border protection and have shifted their border controls away from their territories. They have put into

As the case of the Deepwater Horizon reveals, the consequences of an oil spill or any other marine incident can be devastating. Although pollution from ships implies a much lesser scale, nevertheless there must be maximum efforts for preventing the possible risks and consequences of marine casualties. For centuries salvors have remained the ones who will provide the fastest response to a ship in

Can a more universal human rights protection be achieved through the concept of common heritage of mankind? Knowing that this concept is previously only known by its use with regard to the deep sea-bed or by the attempt the international community made for the application with reference to the moon and other celestial bodies, it might be hard to grasp that this unconventional theory can be applied

Svensk sammanfattning När 1998 års sexköpslag lanserades innebar den en helomvändning för den svenska synen på prostitution. Tankarna hade emellertid legat och grott och i lagförarbeten kan de härledas tillbaka till en kritisk kommentar i samband med prostitutionsreglementets behandling år 1910. Det tog närmare 90 år för maktens penna att uppmärksamma köparens betydelse för fenomenets existens. DEngelsk sammanfattning The Swedish sexköpslag from 1998 criminalizes the act of buying sex.

Although the idea of the buyer as the main problem can be traced as a divergent opinion already in a preparatory work from 1910, it took almost

Sedan brottsbalken reviderades 1989 ligger proportionalitet och ekvivalens till grund för påföljdsbedömningen. I samband med förändringen infördes billighetshänsyn i 29 kap. 5 § BrB som rätten ska beakta vid straffmätningen. Billighetsskälen innebär att domstolen i skälig omfattning ska ta hänsyn till vissa omständigheter som är hänförliga till gärningsmannens person eller hans handlande efter broAfter the reform of the Swedish Penal Code in 1989, the choice of the sanction is based on proportionality and equivalance. In conjuction with the reform, the clemency pleas were introduced in chapter 29 § 5 of the Penal Code. The clemency pleas means that the court within a reasonable scope has to take into account circumstances that are related to the defendant’s personal circumstances or to som

Vertikala restriktioner och särskilt sådana gällande pris har i allmänhet ansetts ha negativa effekter på konkurrens under en lång tid, både i USA och i EU. Prisgolv har en lång historia av att ses som konkurrensbegränsande. I USA har det setts som per se olagligt i nästan hundra år under Sherman Act avsnitt 2. Under de senaste decennierna har det dock skett en förändring i synen på prisgolv, som Vertical restrictions and especially price restriction has generally been deemed anticompetitive during the years, both in the US as well as in the EU. Minimum resale price maintenance has a long history of being seen as anti-competitive. In the USA there has been a per se illegality regarding RPM for almost a hundred years under the Sherman Act section 2. However, in the last decades there has be

Intraspecific variation in phenotypic plasticity can affect the ability of populations, and thus species, to respond to environmental changes. However, the prevalence and drivers of such variation are not well known. Most proposed explanations for intraspecific variation in phenotypic plasticity involve mechanisms associated with a population's position within the species' geographic range or the

Urban pluvial flooding is a growing climate-related risk in Nordic cities, where short-duration rainfall extremes interact with aging drainage infrastructure and urban form. This study analyses 17 years (2006–2023) of property-level basement flooding reports from Trelleborg, a coastal municipality in southern Sweden, to identify empirical rainfall thresholds and infrastructural conditions associat
