The Nuremberg Charter introduced corporate criminal liability into international law and the great American Chief Prosecutor Justice Robert Jackson gave a promise that any legal person who commits crimes prescribed by international law shall be prosecuted and punished according to international criminal law. However, during this period of time, a corporation was never prosecuted per se as the sitt

Denna uppsats behandlar tre olika värderingsfrågor vad gäller aktier som är föremål för tvångsinlösen. Tvångsinlösen får påkallas då en aktieägare äger mer än nio tiondelar av andelarna i ett bolag. Rätten att påkalla tvångsinlösen gäller för såväl majoritetsaktieägaren som var och en av minoritetsaktieägarna. En värdering av aktierna måste, i de fall parterna inte kan komma överens om värdet, förThe thesis examines three questions with regards to how the share value is determined in companies which are subject to buy-out.

Detta examensarbete identifierar styrkor och svagheter i multilevel governance-teorin, när denna appliceras på EU-domstolens rättspraxis. Metoden som används är alltså främst en rättsfallsanalys. Material från ett flertal författare har använts för att identifiera relevanta rättsfall och ge juridiska analyser av rättspraxisen, samt även ge en beskrivning av teorin.

Materials from various scholars have been used to identify relevant cases and provide legal analyses of the case law, as well as provide a description of the theory. Through the description of t

Denna uppsats behandlar Europaparlamentets roll i förhandlingarna om ett utträdesavtal enligt artikel 50 FEU. Det teoretiska perspektivet är multi-level governance genom vilket Europaparlamentet ses som, från medlemsstaterna oberoende aktör som kan ha intresse av att påverka förhandlingarna och utträdesavtalet.

Föreställningen att alla människor är lika inför lagen, och skall erhålla samma rättsliga skydd, är allmänt vedertagen inom västerländsk rätt. Detta till trots görs det alltjämt undantag till denna regel. Beroende på faktorer hänförliga till brottsoffrets identitet, såsom vederbörandes yrke, sexualitet, ålder och etnicitet, m.fl., kan fysiskt likvärdiga våldshandlingar ibland bestraffas olika. DenThe notion that all are equal before law, and thus are entitled to equal protection by law, is well established in Western society. However, there are still exceptions to this rule. Physically similar acts of violence may be punished differently, depending on the identity of the victim. Not only the severity of an assault, but also the sexuality, occupation, age and ethnicity of the victim are fac

This thesis orbits around the changes in the Swedish abortion laws during the last century, and the relation to religion. The aim is to make visible the values enshrined in the first abortion law, and those in the current abortion law, as the legislation made a volte-face in the 1970’s. Today, abortion is a right and the state is the duty-bearer. This construction collides with the conscience of r

The big influx of people seeking asylum in EU Member States in recent years has led to many asylum seekers having to wait a long time for a decision on their asylum applications.

One of urban planning’s responsibility is to ensure children’s right to outdoor space in Swedish kindergartens is met.

The coast of Scania is vulnerable to disasters due to rising sea levels in combination with multiple communities along the coast. In the future, such disasters may become more frequent due to climate change and that may lead to predicted damages that are not covered by insurances. This increased risk of costs may lead to negative effects on the individual property owner and thereby also on the mun

With the development of extremely precise spectral filters based on spectral hole burning and slow light effects, the idea of their implementation in an Ultrasound Optical Tomography (UOT) medical imaging technique arose. Simulations have shown that the resulting Contrast-to-Noise (CNR) ratio is fairly good at depths up to 5 cm but decreases dramatically when probing deeper in tissue. One of the p

The availability of a “male network” of family members and/or friends may be decisive for the outcome of a woman’s asylum application. As it is recognised under the jurisprudence of ECtHR and Swedish asylum adjudicators that women, who originates from countries where societal structures maintain women’s reliance on men, are particularly vulnerable.

In mathematical education it is crucial to have a good teaching plan and to execute it correctly. In particular, this is true in the field of numerical analysis. Every teacher has a different style of teaching. This thesis studies how the basic material of a particular topic in numerical analysis was developed in four different textbooks. We compare and evaluate this process in order to achieve a

The discovery of pervasive transcription in eukaryotic organisms reveals that majority of promoters produce divergent non-coding transcripts besides their annotated transcripts. A recent study proposed the activation of divergent transcription by SWI/SNF chromatin remodelers. Mutating SNF5 subunit of the complex resulted in decreased levels of divergent transcription. Based on this finding, genomi

Detta arbete undersöker processrättens roll på det migrationsrättsliga området, så som den kommer till uttryck genom ett antal migrationsprocessrättsliga särdrag. Centralt för undersökningen är hur avvägningen mellan de motstående intressena individens rättssäkerhet och processuell effektivitet har gjorts i migrationsprocessen. Den första särdraget som behandlas är den på det migrationsrättsliga This essay examines the role of procedural rules in the field of Swedish migration law, as this role is expressed through a number of procedural features that are special for migration law.
