The danger that mass surveillance poses to concepts of ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy’ have long been a topic of fiction as well as of hard academic study. George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four is a work that some might disregard as mere post-apocalyptic whimsy but its arguably accurate recreation and prediction of the methods utilized by the totalitarian government to maintain absolute control over a po

The modern human being is exposed to different kinds of light during a normal day, both natural light and adjusted lighting. The idea that light affects us is uncontested, and so affecting the light in turn becomes a question of well-being. It is often thought that abundant and strong lighting is good lighting, but this is far from always accurate. Moreover, the light from a regular lightbulb is i

Lag om signalspaning i försvarsunderrättelseverksamhet ger Försvarets radioanstalt behörighet att i hemlighet massinhämta och avläsa gränsöverskridande kommunikation för att bekämpa bland annat terrorism och grov brottslighet. Europadomstolen för de mänskliga rättigheterna har flertalet gånger konstaterat att hemliga övervakningssystem som inrättats med hänvisning till nationell säkerhet riskerar The Signals Intelligence Act authorises the National Defence Radio Establishment to bulk intercept and examine cross-border communication, in secret, in order to combat, among other things, terrorism and serious crimes. The European Court of Human Rights has on several occasions found that secret surveillance systems established for the protection of national security may undermine, or even destro

Lagstiftaren har under en längre tid, med mindre framgång, eftersträvat en straffskärpning för mord. Ett av regeringen framtaget förslag till ändring kommer sannolikt tas upp till omröstning i riksdagen och föreslås träda i kraft 1 januari 2020. Förslaget har till syfte att tillfredsställa det behov regeringen tycker sig se att riksdagen har, att livstids fängelse i högre grad ska tillämpas för moThe legislator has, during the last decade, tried numerous times to raise the punishment for committed murders without any remarkable success. A new proposition is under review and will probably be voted on. The proposition is to become law in the beginning of 2020. In criminal law there are a few fundamental theories and principles related to legislation. Most fundamental are the principle of p

I takt med den tekniska utvecklingen behandlas personuppgifter i allt större utsträckning och mer gränsöverskridande. Behandling och överföring av personuppgifter är förenat med en risk för att individens integritetsskydd åsidosätts. EU har en stark dataskyddslagstiftning och värnar om skydd av EU-medborgares personuppgifter. USA har inte en lika stark dataskyddslagstiftning. Samtidigt är USA enWith the fast development in information technology, personal data is increasingly being processed and interchanged cross-border. Processing and transfer of personal data is associated with a risk that the individual's privacy protection is disregarded. The EU has strong data protection legislations and a strong protection of the personal data of EU citizens. The U.S. does not have as strong

This thesis explores how crimes against humanity in general and the crime of forcible transfer of population in particular, cover the most serious situations of development-induced displacement. The focus lies on the legal protection through international criminal law of persons displaced in an unjustified way as a result of development projects, such as the building of dams, roads, and other infr

Detta examensarbete identifierar styrkor och svagheter i multilevel governance-teorin, när denna appliceras på EU-domstolens rättspraxis. Metoden som används är alltså främst en rättsfallsanalys. Material från ett flertal författare har använts för att identifiera relevanta rättsfall och ge juridiska analyser av rättspraxisen, samt även ge en beskrivning av teorin. Genom beskrivningen av teorin haThis thesis identifies the strengths and weaknesses of multilevel governance when the theory is applied to the case law of the Court of Justice. The method used is thus first and foremost a case law study. Materials from various scholars have been used to identify relevant cases and provide legal analyses of the case law, as well as provide a description of the theory. Through the description of t

On July 2018, for the first time in modern Mexican history, a leftist candidate won the presidential elections in Mexico. With large promises on the eradication of corruption and ending social injustice, Andrés Manuel López Obrador and his party secured both the presidency and both chambers of the Mexican Congress.

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka Sveriges möjligheter att verka för ambitiösa styrmedel för minskad klimatpåverkan från internationellt flyg inom FN:s flygorgan ICAO. Det undersöks utifrån införandet av klimatkompensationssystemet CORSIA. Studien visar att Sverige som mindre stat har begränsade möjligheter att påverka de internationella förhandlingarna. Tillsammans med övriga europeiska länder haIn this study, Sweden’s role in the negotiations towards managing greenhouse gas emissions from international aviation in the UN specialized agency International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) is analysed. In 2016, ICAO decided to implement an emissions offsetting mechanism for international aviation, called CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction System for International Aviation). CORSIA has

Tillämpning av skatteflyktslagen leder till att en annars civilrättsligt giltig rättshandling lämnas utan hänsyn vid fastställande av underlaget för beskattning. Lagen är alltså relativt ingripande mot den enskilda skattskyldiga som företagit rättshandlingen eller rättshandlingarna. Tillämpningen är beroende av rekvisiten i 2 § skatteflyktslagen, den så kallade, generalklausulen. Den innehåller fyThe legal consequence of the application of the tax evasion law is that an otherwise civil legal transaction is left without consideration when assessing the base for taxation. The law is an infringement upon the taxpayer that has performed the legal transactions. The application of the tax evasion law is dependent on the prerequisites from the 2 § of the law, the so called general clause. The cla

Human trafficking consists of a sequence of smaller events taking place over a large span of time and perhaps even over multiple borders. Perpetrators of the crime take people away from their homes and their origins, either through coercion or threat of force, and instead place them in frightful environments where their survival and human dignity is constantly at risk. Legal measures to fight huma
