In 2003, the Kimberley Process, a public-private partnership gathering governments, the diamond industry and several civil society organizations, entered into force. This international scheme, aiming at fighting against conflict diamonds, imposed export bans on diamonds from the Marange Fields in the Eastern part of Zimbabwe and from the Central African Republic. Indeed, evidence of violations of
Letter of credit law are governed by two overriding principles. The principle of autonomy of the credit and the doctrine of strict compliance. The principle of autonomy can be read out of articles 4, 5 and 14 (a) UCP 600 and stipulates that banks deal with documents and not with goods. A letter of credit is a separate transaction from the sales contract and the bank isn't bound to the contract
Acknowledged from the existing literature regarding Daesh’s propaganda, the focus has mostly been on their propaganda on social media, such as Facebook and Twitter. However, I argue that a gap regarding Daesh’s propaganda is the lack of studies on Daesh’s online-magazine Dabiq and this thesis aim to fill this gap. I argue that Daesh’s way of arguing and framing their arguments are the key to under
I artikel 1F flyktingkonventionen stadgas ett antal av de så kallade uteslutandeklausulerna från flyktingstatus, vilka utgör undantag från möjligheten att åtnjuta internationellt skydd för personer som uppfyller rekvisiten i flyktingdefinitionen. Artikeln utesluter asylsökande som misstänks för vissa grova brott, såsom krigsförbrytelser och brott mot mänskligheten, om det finns synnerligen anledniArticle 1F in the Refugee Convention constitutes one of the so called exclusions clauses from the possibility to be recognized as a refugee and hence obtain international protection. The Article excludes asylum seekers who are suspected for serious crimes, such as war crimes and crimes against humanity, if there are serious reasons for considering that the person has committed the alleged crime. T
Enligt lag har ett barn har rätt till omvårdnad, trygghet och en god fostran. Barn ska behandlas med aktning för sin person och egenart och får inte utsättas för kroppslig bestraffning eller annan kränkande behandling. Det kan tyckas att dessa grundläggande tankarna om barnets rättigheter som stadgas i de inledande bestämmelserna i 6 kap. föräldrabalken (1949:381) är självklara, ändå far barn illaBy law, a child has the right to nursing, security and a good upbringing. Children should be treated with respect for their person and individuality and may not be subjected to physical punishment or other offensive treatment. It may seem that these basic thoughts on the rights of the child, as laid down in the introductory provisions of chapter 6 in the Parental Code (1949: 381), is self-evident,
Purpose: We aim to develop a deeper understanding of non-managerial organisations by exploring the implications of this way of organising on the identification processes and professional identity of consultants. Theoretical Background: In our theoretical background, we highlight previous literature on different aspects of identity and identification as well as the interrelation of these topics w
Elections to the European Parliament have since they were introduced in 1979 been, as scholars define it, a “second-order” election. They are typically as such characterized through the losses for national government parties, surge of smaller parties, low interest from the public in general and most of all low levels of voter participation. Expectations were therefore for once higher that the Euro
Uppsatsen undersöker möjligheten att registrera ordmärken och analyserar i synnerhet vilka ordmärken som kan registreras med endast ursprunglig särskiljningsförmåga och vilka ordmärken som kräver förvärvad särskiljningsförmåga för att få registreras. Uppsatsen klarlägger därutöver hur möjligheten att förvärva särskiljningsförmåga förhåller sig frihållningsbehovet. Av praxis framgår att suggestiva This thesis examines the possibility of registering trademarks and it in particular analyzes which trademarks can be registered with only original distinctive character and which trademarks require acquired distinctive character in order to be registered. In addition, the thesis examines how the possibility of acquiring distinctive character relates to the requirement of availability. It is eviden

On Initiative taken by the anthroposophical association Föreningen Sofia in Sweden, a Steiner school opened in Sirende in year 2008. Today the school is in a very bad condition with over crowded classrooms and poor sanitary conditions. The need for a new school building is ur
Denna litteraturstudie syftar till att sammanfatta den prekambriska berggrunden och dess geologiska utveckling i norra Skåne. Studien bygger på tidigare publicerat material, primärt tre av SGU:s berggrundskartor: Af 127, 155 och 181. Dessa visar berggrunden i området nordost, sydväst och nordväst om Kristianstad. För att kunna sätta in denna berggrund i ett större sammanhang har även andra publikaThis literature study aims to summarize the Precambrian bedrock and its geological development in northern Scania. The study is based on previously published material, primarily three of SGU’s bedrock maps: Af 127, 155 and 181. These show the bedrock in the area northeast, southwest and northwest of Kristianstad. In order to place this bedrock in a broader context, other publications dealing with
In the thriving field of exoplanet research new discoveries are made all the time, and while most of the observed systems can be explained with classical planet formation models - some are much harder to explain. When stars form they are often surrounded by the remaining material of the nebulae they formed from. Some of this remaining material forms into a protoplanetary disk around the protostars
På grund av att miljöskatter kan användas som ett ekonomiskt styrmedel samtidigt som de även tillskrivs ett fiskalt syfte har användningen av dessa i gröna skatteväxlingar blivit populärt hos den svenska lagstiftaren. Att ersätta förlorade intäkter från inkomstskatt med intäkter från miljöskatter kan dock ibland visa sig vara problematiskt, eftersom miljöskatternas styrande effekt medför att de inEnvironmental taxes are often designed to both shift away demand from goods that have a negative impact on the environment, and to generate tax revenue to the public treasury. This makes them appropriate to use in green tax shifts, where the legislator is able to reduce other taxes, e.g. taxes on income, while still being able to maintain overall tax revenue. A green tax shift can however sometime
Crisis in the financial sector have come to be a natural part of the economic cycles, as well as the compulsory regulatory measures that follow. These processes have been documented since the beginning of financial revolutions where the states and financial institutions are intertwined in an eternal dance ever since. Both external chocks and internal innovations can spark booms or busts. But how m
Abstract: New ventures’ survival chances are becoming increasingly lower threatening economic growth and the innovation capability of each country. Research on business survival has focussed on many internal and structural drivers, however, there is a large gap regarding external influences, especially the influence of labour market institutions. This thesis fills the gap by extract-ing and analys
Working distributed is increasingly important today with technology being more and more portable while connectivity is still lacking in some areas. Cellphones and laptops are increasingly in use outside the office with connectivity to internal office services being unreliable, either due to lacking speed or inability to have a connection. Different solutions exist. One is a client-server setup wh
Förvärvsavtal är en omfattande process som ofta inkluderar många jurister. Avtalet är tänkt att reglera parternas samtliga åtagande och fördela risken de emellan. Trots detta återfinns i många företagsförvärv den mycket vaga avtalsbestämmelsen kallad MAC eller MAE. Förkortningarna står för material adverse change eller material adverse effect, vilket översatt till ett svenskt avtal ofta skrivs som
Traffic accidents cause over 1.2 million deaths, and tens of millions of people are injured or disabled every year. Advanced driver assistant systems and other safety features have the possibility to reduce traffic accidents but do not account for human errors. Studies show that over 90% of all traffic accidents are caused by human errors. One way to reduce human errors is to introduce automation,
