Detta arbete behandlar frågan ifall det endast krävs att en människa är medborgare i en stat för att hen ska få ta del av alla de medborgerliga och mänskliga rättigheterna, eller om det finns ytterligare villkor så som skötsamhet? I Sverige lever 34 000 medborgare i hemlöshet, varav 40% av dessa har någon form av missbruks-eller beroendeproblematik. Jag försöker få svar på hur den svenska staten fThis work deals primarily with the question whether it is enough to be a citizen to take part of all civil and human rights, or are there additional requirements like “good character” involved? There are 34 000 citizens in Sweden living in homelessness of which 40% have some sort of abuse-or addictionproblem.

Neo-liberal development strategies have for long been considered the way to achieve development and the Washington Consensus has gained influence in most countries in the world.

The central government’s emphasis on economic growth

Amningsfrekvensen i Sverige och övriga västvärlden har under flera år varit sjunkande. Den nedåtgående trenden kan delvis bero på förändrade attityder till amning.

Detta är en tvärsnittsstudie baserad på Iowa Infant Fee

Svaga riktlinjer utan verkan? Sedan vi människor började bruka jorden för mer än 10 000 år sedan, har vi haft nytta av humlor och bin som pollinerat våra grödor och spindlar och skalbaggar som ätit upp skadeinsekter som t.ex. bladlöss. Dessa och många andra så kallade ekosystemtjänster riskerar nu att försvinna allteftersom människan gör anspråk på större och större ytor och brukar jorden allt inAbstract Biodiversity continues to decline worldwide and this is threatening the provisioning of ecosystem services.

Despite vast existing research on apartheid in South Africa, little is known about the perspective of those who got blamed for the comprehensive violence, those who thought of themselves as confident combatants and heroes, while others judged them as criminals.

Human Rights Accountability är en egenskap i relationen mellan styrande och medborgare. När egenskapen existerar förhindrar den människorättskränkningar genom att medborgarna får inflytande över beslutfattande. Begreppet behöver klargöras för att nå sitt fulla potential som verktyg för planering och analys eftersom missförståelse kan ha farliga konsekvenser i misslyckandet att förebygga politiskt Human Rights Accountability is a property of the relationship between rulers and citi-zens. When it exists, it prevents violations of Human Rights by enabling citizens to in-fluence decision-making. The concept needs clarification in order to reach its full poten-tial as a tool for planning and analysis. Misunderstanding can have dangerous conse-quences in the failure to prevent political violence
