The main controversy in international law the past decades has been the approach to a non-international conflict exposing civilians to threats of genocide or mass atrocities. One corner stone of international law is the protection of a state and its internal affairs, the principle of non-intervention; another one is the protection of human rights. During the 1990s, the two principles were seen as

This study explores the contexts in which the conflict evolved and how history was perceived, narrated and used by institutions, communities and individuals who sought to influence public opinion and policymakers.

I en värld där UX-standarden höjs av att använda välutvecklade vardagsprodukter, förväntas det bättre och bättre UX Design av alla produkter inom IT-branschen. Man skulle kunna säga att UX Design inte bara är avgörande för den framtida positionen på övervakningskamerabranschen, utan även ett krav för att möta efterfrågan av att det inte längre endast är experter som installerar kameror. UX Design In a world where the UX-standard is rising from the use of well-developed everyday products, better UX Design is becoming more and more expected of all products within the IT-industry. It can not only be argued that an investment in UX Design is critical for the future position on the surveillance camera industry, but also required to meet requirements of the non-experts installing the camera.

Bolagsskatten är en omdebatterad skatt. OECD har till och med kallat skatten för den farligaste skatten för företagens tillväxt. Sedan Sverige gick med i EU har den svenska bolagsskattesatsen halkat efter nytillkommna medlemsländer. Den europeiska trenden är tydligt för en sänkning av bolagskattesatsen och Sverige tappar i konkurrenskraft. Skattesänkningar har som mål att bredda skattebasen men saCorporation tax is a controversial tax. The OECD has even called the tax one of the most dangerous taxes for business growth.

We take a similar approach using CoCo spreads and additionally use issue specific features. We a
