Den här uppsatsen handlar om aspekter av generell internationell rätt som begränsar ett enhetligt skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna i Europa. Genom att diskutera och förklara fall från EU-domstolen och Europadomstolen så visas de begränsande aspekterna i internationell rätt genom de bägge domstolarnas agerande. EU-domstolen hade sedan tidigare, tydligt och med emfas, slagit fast att EU-rättenThis thesis deals with the inherent hinders in international law, which are obstacles to a coherent human rights protection in Europe.

In this thesis, I draw attention to what at first glance might look like the opposite of family life – those living by themselves – people who at times are stereotyped as deviants even in research. The aim is two-fold. Firstly, I am interested in how those living by themselves arrange and construct their social connections, such as friendship, family or kinship and work life. Secondly, I am intere

Utifrån dessa tvetydigheter utförde vi en undersökning på just
