This paper investigates whether there is a right not to suffer from poverty. The investigation is being conducted from the theoretical standpoint/view that only civil and political Rights constitute justiciable Rights and Rights proper from a moral stance, whereas economic and social Rights constitute mere political agendas or less.In the search of an answer to this question the content of economic and social Rights, and thereafter civil and political Rights will be outlined, followed by an inquiry of what should really be considered as Rights. Finally, the arguments against economic and social Rights as real Rights is presented and scrutinized.This paper will conclude that the stated difference between the above-mentioned sets of Rights is illusory and that the right not to suffer from poverty ought to have the same status as civil and political Rights..

The Human Rights claim that all humans have special Rights that are not allowed to be broken or violated. Although these Rights are broken and violated by states every day. One major fact that makes this possible is the principle of sovereignty that includes all states, and which says that every state has the power and right to make decisions and create laws within the own country without the interference of other actors. In other words, the problem is that the states have to much power in relation to actors usch as the United Nations and to the rules of the Human Rights. This essay describe a possible way to strengthen the power of the Human Rights so that all humans can be guaranteed the fulfillment of the Rights..

AbstractMany of the refugees around the world today are children. Some of these children are travelling alone without anyone looking after them. These children flee from their countries to save their lives and as they are children they need special care and protection. This thesis has investigated the protection given to unaccompanied children during the asylum process in the two key instruments in the area: the Convention of the Rights of the Child and the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. The Refugee Convention does not contain any procedural Rights and does not specifically acknowledge children, even though they are included in the scope of the Convention.

Even though many states have ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and sworn to protect human Rights, viloations occur every day both in developed and developing countries. United Nations gave Sweden critique for not implementing the Convention conrerning article 11, which raises the question how respected the Convention is amongst other states? Does democracy contribute to a higher level of implementation?.

The purpose of this thesis is to shade light on some of the problems associated with Rights issues with regard to Swedish law. This thesis is limited to discuss problems regarding directed Rights issues, Rights issue discounts, underwriting agreements and asset to share compensation. The common factor for these matters is that the current legal situation is somewhat uncertain which allows for differences interpretation and judgment..

Numerous studies have showed that Swedish municipalities are responsible for several of the activities that concern children and their Rights, e.g. school and health care. Furthermore, the Convention of the Rights of the Child is an international agreement that Sweden has signed and ratified which also implies the obligations that Swedish municipalities have. The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare, from a social justice perspective, how children?s Rights are being emphasized and how children?s opinions are being taken into consideration at the municipality level in Sweden.

The EU- citizenship was established in the Maastricht Treaty in 1993. This citizenship involves Rights to free movement, election Rights to the European Parliament, diplomatic protection and the right to petition to the Ombudsman. In my analysis I discuss the implications of the EU- citizenship for the individual. The development and legal status of the union citizenship is examined in order to give a general understanding of the implications. In addition, I conduct a case study concerning the EU- citizenship's impact on workers Rights.

The Swedish political organization is subject for the investigation of this thesis, with regard to the realization of universal human Rights. There is a discrepancy between the Swedish state's international undertakings in legally binding treaties and theactualization of human Rights by local authorities. The local authorities are ruled by a complex function of both national and local government. Of interest here, is the effect that these, and other organizational aspects, between the national and the local, have for the realization of human Rights in local authorities. Also, the discrepancy between the national and the local is attempted to be understood.

The eighth of august the Olympic games in Beijing started. The chinese regime promised to improve the human Rights situation in the country if awarded the Olympic games 2008. The decision to place the games in Beijing arouse severe critique and many questioned how the International Olympic Committe could place the games in a country that so obviously violate basic human Rights.The main purpose of this essay has been to analyse what consequences the Olympic Games has given the human Rights situation in China. In order to accomplish this I have studied some specific human Rights, which I consider to be directly linked to the games. I found that the situation for these human Rights has infact worsened since 2001 when China was awarded the games.

The fundamental freedoms and human Rights is something the countries, and its citizens, of theEuropean Union more or less take for granted. However, in recent years these Rights have become atopic of discussion in the way that a debate about the Islamic headscarves has developed. Thisdebate has resulted in that a number of countries, including France, have taken legislative measuresto ban clothing that fully covers ones face. Out of these bans a discussion has arisen concerning thefundamental freedoms and human Rights. These burqa bans, as it is labeled in the pubic debate, havebeen accused to wrongfully limit the individuals freedoms and human Rights.This study therefore has the aim to analyze these burqa bans in relation to the European Union,United Nations and the Council of Europe?s general declarations concerning the fundamentalfreedoms and basic human Rights.The main result of this study shows that these bans in fact is not a proportionally restrict in thefundamental freedoms and human Rights.

The aim of this thesis is to examine the Rights of internally displaced persons as well as finding out whose responsibility it is to maintain these Rights. The questions being answered are: what policies, laws and conventions are addressing internally displaced persons in Somalia (mainly from within Somalia, UN and AU)? And; which principal similarities and differences in these documents are to find regarding what type of protection internally displaced persons can get? Whose responsibility is it to intervene if these Rights and rules are not maintained? To answer these questions I have used a liberal-universal theoretical framework. The analysis is a describing case study of comparative nature between the Provisional Somalia Constitution, UN Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and the Kampala Convention. The result shows that there are many different Rights of internally displaced persons in Somalia.

The differences between the sexes when it comes to land and property ownership are enormous. This paper deals with issues concerning women's land and property Rights. The aim of the study is to investigate what general factors are effecting women's access to and control of land. In addition, this paper aims to explore the effects of liberal formalism in relation to gender equality and the distribution of land. Formalism and formalization of women's land Rights alone won't lead to equality in land distribution or women's emancipation.

The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights is probably the world's most known andinternationally most respected document. The purpose of this study is to examine if the UDHRreflects universal values and norms and to assess its moral and juridical relevance today, 60 yearsafter the adoption. The literature used in this literature-based critical study is mainly written bythe academic elite of the discourse on Human Rights. By comparing these sources I have reachedthe conclusion that the UDHR is still today an important document because of its continuinginfluence on international lawmaking and because of the encouragement and aspirations tomankind in the never-ending struggle for the Rights it represents..
