Uppsatsen ämnar undersöka förhållandet mellan bevarandet och det hållbara nyttjandet av biologisk mångfald inom Arktis och det internationellrättsliga beaktandet av den redan befintliga kunskapen om detta arbete som finns bevarad hos områdets urfolk.

Industrialismens frammarsch och utvecklingen mot vidgad näringsfrihet gav arbetsgivare en stark position på arbetsmarknaden. 1898 gick arbetstagarsidan ihop och bildade Landorganisationen, LO.

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka konkurrensklausulers utformning och verkan, med särskilt fokus på skälighetsbedömningen av sådana klausuler. I uppsatsen används en traditionell rättsvetenskaplig metod. Då rättsläget i viss mån är outrett beträffande arbetsgivarens rätt att ensidigt begränsa eller frånträda en konkurrensklausul, har empiriskt material använts gällande dessa frågeställningar.

I Sverige råder principen om fri bevisföring, vilken stadgas i 35 kap. 1 § RB. Detta innebär att det inte finns någon begränsning vare sig gällande de kunskapskällor som får användas för att bevisa det inträffade, eller gällande domarens frihet vid själva värderingen av bevisen.

Kenya, like the rest of the world, in an effort to protect its tax base, has enacted a transfer pricing (TP) legislation requiring, among other things, that inter-company transactions be conducted at arm’s length.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att utforska och behandla statschefers rätt till immunitet vid grova folkrättsbrott. Den centrala frågan för uppsatsen är om statschefer idag kan begå brott mot folkrätten och ändå beviljas straffrihet.

However, neoliberal logics of turning biodiversity into commodities have resulted in an increasing amount of ecotourism operators offering interactive experiences with charismatic wildlife.
