Att världen idag kan te sig ganska liten är inget att ta miste på. Det är betydligt lättare och kostar mindre att resa i förhållande till förr, vilket har bidragit till att många av oss i mycket större omfattning reser på semester eller i arbetet, och då stöter på - för oss - främmande och ibland komplicerade problem. Huvudregeln enligt svensk rätt är att bevis skall upptas vid förhandling, enliToday the world does not seem as large as we probably once thought. Many years ago traveling was difficult and quite expensive. Today it’s completely the opposite. All this convenience we experience has some consequences. During our travels and business endeavours with different parts of the world it is not surprising that we encounter problems. Since these problems are unfamiliar to us the proble

Narkotikalagstiftningen i de europeiska länderna skiljer sig åt, och den här uppsatsen har som syfte att jämföra den portugisiska och den svenska lagstiftningen. Även om de två länderna har anslutit sig till samma internationella konventioner på området, de tre FN-konventionerna som sätter upp de yttre ramarna för kriminalisering av t.ex. illegal droghandel, så har de valt olika tillvägagångssätt Drug legislation in Europe differs from country to country, and this paper is intended to compare the Portuguese and Swedish legislation.
