The Nigerian jihadist-terrorist movement Boko Haram reached international notoriety especially after the bombing of an UN-headquarters in Abuja in 2011 and after the kidnappings of 276 schoolgirls in 2014. But these events are minor parts of rapid evolutionary ideological developments and expansion. In 2009 Boko Haram´s leader, Mohammad Yusuf, was killed by Nigerian forces and the movement was con

Organiserad brottslighet är ett svårutrett fenomen och ett fortsatt växande problem i både Sverige och resten av världen. För att på ett effektivt sätt kunna utreda och bekämpa allvarlig och grov organiserad brottslighet har de brottsbekämpande myndigheterna möjlighet att använda sig av hemliga tvångsmedel mot en enskild. Några exempel på hemliga tvångsmedel är hemlig avlyssning av elektronisk komOrganised crime is a phenomenon, which is hard to investigate, and a continuing growing problem in both Sweden and the rest of the world. To effectively investigate and fight major and serious organised crime, the law enforcement authorities have the power to use secret coercive measures against an individual.

Inom såväl den internationella som den svenska migrationsrätten finns konkurrerande intressen som uppställer krav på avvägning och rättssäkerhet dels i nationella lagstiftningar och internationella regelverk, dels i den nationella och internationella rättstillämpningen. Ambitionen att inte avvisa eller utvisa en individ som riskerar att utsättas för t.ex. tortyr i hemlandet, ska balanseras med behWithin the international as well as Swedish migration law there are competing interests that impose requirements of consideration and the rule of law in both national legislation and international regulations as well as in the national and international application of the law. The ambition to not expel an individual at risk of for example torture in their home country must be balanced with the pot

Sverige har sedan länge ansetts vara ett land befriat från svågerpolitik och korruption. Korruption är dock ett vitt begrepp som härstammar från det latinska ordet corrumpere, vilket betyder muta. Följaktligen omfattas den straffrättsliga terminologin av givande och tagande av muta av begreppet korruption. Korruption anses vara ett medel för att otillbörligen påverka besluts- och handlingsprocesseSweden has long been considered a country free from nepotism and corruption. Corruption is however a broad term which derives from the Latin word corrumpere, meaning bribe. Consequently the criminal terminology of giving and receiving bribes comprises the concept of corruption. Corruption is a way to improperly influence the decision making and processes in a society. The damaging effects on a soc

Uppskattningsvis ligger idag mellan 2,5 till 20 miljoner ton olja i vrak runt världens kuster. Under tusentals år har den kommersiella sjöfarten dominerat haven. Det var dock inte förrän industrialiseringen på 1800-talet som olja började användas i allt större utsträckning. I den kommersiella sjöfarten är frakt av miljöfarliga ämnen inte något ovanligt, varje dag skeppas cirka en halv miljon ton oCurrently, between 2,5 and 20 million tons of oil are found in shipwrecks around the world. For thousands of years, commercial sea transport has dominated the seas. However, it was not until the industrial revolution in the 19th century that oil started being used extensively. Within commercial sea transport, the shipping of environmentally hazardous substances is not uncommon. About half a millio

Harmoniseringen av EU:s medlemstaters regelverk fortsätter på upphandlingsområdet. Medborgarnas intressen och värderingar har förändrats kraftigt sedan sekelskiftet.

EU:s lagstiftare vill naturligtvis att medborgarnas värderingar i dessa frågor sThe interests and values of the EU member states have changed dramatically since the beginning of the century.

Under de senaste åren har en debatt pågått om det skydd utländska investerare erhåller inom ramen för bilaterala investeringsskyddsavtal (BIT) och tvistlösningsmekanismen ISDS. I debatten har kritik framförts mot att investeringsskyddet i för stor utsträckning gynnar investerarens ekonomiska intressen, samtidigt som allmänintressen i värdstater till investeringar missgynnas genom att statens lagstOver the last years, there has been an on-going debate regarding the level of protection that foreign investors should receive within the international investment regime.

Möjligheterna för att kränka och förtala andra har ökat väsentligt i och med internets utveckling under 2000-talet. Idag kan ett uttalande eller en integritetskränkande bild spridas över hela världen på bara några sekunder och möjligheterna att ”ta bort” sådana uttalanden har därigenom förändrats. Denna uppsats syfte är att granska det svenska straffrättsliga skyddet mot näthat och undersöka omThe evolvement of the communications technology during the 21st century has created novel ways in which people can harm others. Today a statement or an intimate visual recording can be spread globally in just a few seconds and the possibility to remove such information has thus changed. The objective of this paper is to review the Swedish criminal protection against cyber harassment and exami

Termen entreprenadavtal är inte definierad i lagstiftning. Begreppet kan förstås som ett avtal där entreprenören åtar sig att utföra avtalade bygg- och anläggningsarbeten för beställarens räkning där den senare är tillförsäkrad en ändringsbefogenhet genom att fortlöpande kunna ändra motpartens åtagande. I avsaknad av lagstiftning är bruket av gemensamt upprättade standardavtal omfattande på områdeCommercial construction contracts are not defined in Swedish law. The term can be understood as a contract where the employer agrees to construct the works on the employer’s behalf and the latter retains the right to alter the commitment of the former during the term of the agreement. Due to the lack of legislative regulation, jointly drafted standard agreements are used to a great extent. AB 04 i

Undersökningar visar att en majoritet av Sveriges invånare har medierna som sin primära ny-hetskälla för domstolarnas verksamhet. Eftersom en individs förtroende för domstolarnas verksamhet korrelerar med den kunskap som individen har om domstolarna och deras verk-samhet, väcks frågan i hur stor utsträckning mediernas skildringar av domstolarna påverkar allmänhetens förtroende för dem. Ett förtroeStudies show that a majority of the Swedish population has the media as their primary source regarding information about the courts. Because an individual's trust in the function of the courts correlates with his or her knowledge of the courts’ dealings, the question of to what extent the media depictions of courts affects the public’s trust in them can be asked.

Since then, the domestic violence has received several explanations. Even though various research and statistics has formulated the violence against women as an issue of

With a discourse analytical perspective I have analyzed differences in how migration discourses are constructed by the swedish government, the Social Democrats and the Green party. To illustrate how the government's new more restrictive migration discourse conflicts with the migration discourse that is part of the Swedish political self-image, I as well study the construction of political grou

Den här studien syftar till att ta reda på hur Arbetsmiljöverkets implementering av nya direktiv gällande riskbedömning av praoplatser kunde medföra att många skolor i landet har valt att ta bort prao som ett moment ur utbildningen, då rektorer eller skolförvaltning bedömt att arbetet inför praon blir för omfattande.
