I denna kandidatuppsats undersöks rättsläget i Sverige gällande surrogatmoderskap med det huvudsakliga syftet att granska hur surrogatarrangemangets centralt berörda intressen återspeglas i befintlig lagstiftning och SOU 2016:11. Surrogatmoderskap är en form av assisterad befruktning och innebär att en kvinna genomgår graviditet och förlossning med avsikten att sedan lämna ifrån sig barnet. I svThis bachelor thesis examines the legal situation regarding surrogacy in Sweden, with the main purpose to review how the key interests of a surrogacy arrangement are reflected in current legislation and the public investigation SOU 2016:11. Surrogacy is a form of assisted fertilization and means that a woman goes through pregnancy and childbirth with the intention to hand over the child. Swedish
Ett av livets största beslut är beslutet om föräldraskap. Det är dessutom ett beslut som i slutändan görs av modern, eftersom det är hon som tar beslutet om abort. Härigenom uppstår en situation som inte är jämställd, vilket har orsakat en viss debatt den senaste tiden. Debatten gäller huruvida det bör finnas en rätt för fadern att göra en så kallad juridisk abort, alltså en möjlighet att avsäga sThe choice to become a parent is not an easy one to make, moreover it is today a choice more likely to be made by the mother. She has the opportunity of abortion, whereas the father can’t affect his becoming a parent after the moment of conception. This constitutes a situation of inequality between the sexes, which this year has caused a debate to arise in social media as well as in news papers. I

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur artikel 12 barnkonventionen om barnets rätt att komma till tals kommer till uttryck i svensk och norsk lagstiftning gällande vårdnadstvister. En grundläggande princip i svensk och norsk rätt är att den som har ett legitimt intresse i en tvistefråga också ska ha talerätt i densamma. Då barnets framtid kommer påverkas av utgången i dessa tvister är det av intresThe aim of this thesis is to examine how Article 12 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), is reflected in Swedish and Norwegian legislation concerning custody, residence and contact disputes. A fundamental principle in both Swedish and Norwegian law is that a person with a legitimate interest in a legal dispute should also have a right to litigate in the matter. It is of particular inter
Sverige står idag inför ett växande problem med barn och unga som dras in i organiserad brottslighet. Rekryteringen har i allt högre grad förflyttats från den fysiska till den digitala miljön – en utveckling som det svenska rättssystemet inte har varit rustat för att möta. För att stärka de brottsbekämpande myndigheternas möjligheter att förebygga ungdomsrelaterad brottslighet – och därigenom minsSweden is facing a growing problem with children being drawn into organized crime. Recruitment has shifted from physical to digital environments, which the Swedish legal system has been unprepared for. To strengthen law enforcements’ ability to prevent youth crime – and thereby reduce incentives for criminal networks to exploit children – the government appointed a government inquiry in June 2023
Barnets bästa ska vara avgörande för alla frågor om vårdnad, boende och umgänge. Barnets åsikter är en viktig del i bedömningen och som regel får barn, om det inte bedöms som olämpligt, komma till tals. Det är dock långt ifrån självklart att deras åsikter faktiskt påverkar utgången. Ett barn som motsätter sig att träffa en förälder kan ändå få umgänge beslutat av domstol trots att umgänge enligt l
