ILO 169 – Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention - is an international treaty that deals exclusively with the rights of indigenous peoples. Sweden is a country that normally commits to human rights and international treaties. However, it is still one of the countries that has not ratified ILO 169. By conducting a critical discourse analysis with a postcolonial approach, this study problematizes
Northern peatlands have accumulated carbon for thousands of years and currently hold around one third of all soil carbon on earth. Large uncertainties are associated with predictions of how northern peatlands will react to climate change. This is because the cold, wet and anaerobic conditions lead to two opposing forces from a radiative forcing perspective – CO2 sequestration from photosynthesis b
Since the introduction of the co-decision procedure in the European Union (EU), the Council of the EU and the European Parliament have become more interdependent in order to reach an agreement on a legislative file. The interdependence has led to a significant increase in the number of trilogues, which is problematic as these informal meetings are secluded and have no references to the treaties. D
This thesis has examined the relationship between third-party countermeasures under the law of state responsibility and UN Security Council enforcement measures under Chapter VII of the UN Charter. Third-party countermeasures are a concept that refers to the use of countermeasures by a state other than the injured state in response to breaches of obligations erga omnes or erga omnes partes, provid
Governance of environmental resources plays a key role in enhancing or hindering progress towards peace in post-conflict societies. Two years after the signing of the Peace Agreement between the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the government of Colombia, new dynamics on natural resource and land-use are leading to environmental harm in some regions. Highlands and páramo (high-ele
I övergången mellan de triassiska och jurassiska perioderna, för ca 200 miljoner år sedan, inträffade ett massutdöende som bedöms ha koppling till vulkanism i den Centralatlantiska magmatiska provinsen (CAMP). En signifikant ökning av växthusgaser som koldioxid (CO2) eller metan (CH4) och andra flyktiga ämnen, med efterföljande global uppvärmning som följd, föreslås vara den viktigaste drivkrafterAround the Triassic-Jurassic-Boundary time interval, a severe mass extinction event occurred, which has been associated to volcanism of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP). Significant amounts of greenhouse gases as carbon dioxide (CO2) or methane (CH4) and other volatiles are suggested to have been released into the atmosphere, leading to global warming with subsequent impact on the bio
Merger control in Sweden and the EU has done a prominent job in adapting to the special competitive aspects of digital platforms. Merger investigations by the Swedish Competition Authority and the European Commission include an assessment of the significant impediment to effective competition (SIEC test). The test is described in article 4(1) of the Swedish Competition Act and articles 2(2) and 2(
The access to safe and clean drinking water is a major concern throughout the world. The recent discovery of coal and gas in Mozambique has increased the economic growth lately and large international companies have been attracted to Tete province in central Mozambique. Coal mining is widely recognized as one of the most hazardous forms of natural resource extraction for human health and the envir
De Saxiska byarna i Transsylvanien karaktäriseras av sina befästa kyrkor och av en bystruktur som förblivit oförändrad sedan medeltiden. Idag finns sju av dessa hundratals byar listade på UNE-SCOs världsarvslista, men det finns ett stort värde i att arbeta för att bevara ännu fler. De utgör en viktig del av regionens kulturlandskap och identitet. Jag har själv en mycket stark personlig koppling ti
Holma and Kroksbäck are two socially vulnerable, enclosed neighbourhoods in Malmö, a city in the south of Sweden. There is a development plan to integrate and strengthen these areas. The aim of this thesis was to analyse matters of spatial segregation in an urban development project. How these matters were addressed and what factors might have an impact on them are questions this paper try to answ
Art. 36 TFEU is an exception clause which provides that quantitative restrictions or measures having equivalent effect to quantitative restrictions falling under Art. 34 and 35 TFEU may be justified under certain circumstances. If a national measure can be considered liable to hindering the trade between Member States, the national measure can be justified by one of the derogations listed in Art.
Present uncertainties in key ventilation parameters, characterising the fire performance of facades, has necessitated clarification in the foundational understanding of the Fire Science Body of Knowledge. A test program conducted in collaboration between Lunds Universitet and the Kingspan Group, studied the influence of cavity widths and lateral ventilation conditions on the fire behaviour within
Thessaloniki is a city with a very rich and multicultural history. Among the different groups of people living in the city for centuries, the largest one was the group of the Sephardi Jews. Unfortunately, in modern Thessaloniki the rich Jewish past is not that evident. Aim of this thesis is to search for imprints and memories of the Jewish past in today's city and tries to unfold the reasons w
Bolivia has experienced a drastic decline in inequality and poverty since 2000. It coincided with the administrative period of Evo Morales between 2006 and 2019. Hence, it is debated whether poverty reduction was mainly driven by economic growth alongside the commodity boom in the 2000s or by policy implementations during Morales’s presidency. This study addresses the research question: “How and w
Fientliga cyberoperationer ökar och staters kritiska nationella infrastrukturer står inför hotet att bli måltavlor eftersom de i större utsträckning är beroende av datanätverk. Cybersfären benämns ständigt som den ’vilda västern’ vilket antyder att det tillämpade internationella rättsliga ramverket är otillräckligt. Den internationella rätten som föreskriver jus ad bellum och dess tillämplighet påHostile cyber operations are on the rise and states’ critical national infrastructures are facing the threat of being targeted as they become more dependent on computer networks. Cyberspace is persistently referred to as the ‘wild West’ implicating that the applied international legal framework is insufficient. The international law stipulating jus ad bellum and its applicability to cyber operatio
In recent years, cross-border regions have been challenged by multiple levels governance creating barriers rather than solutions to support cross-border spaces. This study aims at inquiring how the role of cross-border regions is changing in relation to their governance capacity. Governance capacity relates to actions, practices and visions of such regions. Through investigating a case study in th
Denna reflekterande del av min konstnärliga kandidatexamen började med en nyfikenhet av mina rörelser vid pianot. Jag ville reflektera över hur jag själv uppfattar mina egna rörelser, och varför jag rör mig hur jag gör, och även vilket syfte dessa rörelser har utöver de tekniska krav som musiken ställer på min kropp. Jag valde tre olika videos av framträdande, en live-konsert, en live-streamad konThis reflective part of my Bachelor’s degree started with an increased curiosity into how I move my body whilst at the piano. I wanted to reflect on how I perceive my own movements, on why I move like I do, and what purpose these movements may have beyond the way I need to move to handle any technical difficulties. I chose three different videos of performances, one live concert, one live streamed
Strict deportation policies have emerged as an increasingly popular way for more developed countries to tackle the issue of irregular migration. Estimations tell us that more that 3 million Afghan refugees will be deported in 2017 and it is argued that such massive returns to Afghanistan, despite the ongoing and escalated conflict, will risk contributing to severe human right violations as well as
In the central Himalayas, water dynamics are expected to change due to multiple factors like climate change, hydro power development and shifting land use practices. This thesis looks at possible changes in water dynamics in Marsyandi river basin, Nepal, as well as causes to those changes and how they are perceived locally. Grounded in critical physical geography, the study uses mixed methods an
