Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Accountability for serious human rights violations and atrocity crimes has established itself at the top of the international community’s legal agenda, not least to serve justice to the victims of the crimes. Efforts to refer the atrocities in Syria to the permanent International Criminal Court have been in vain, highlighting the need for third states exercising extra-territorial jurisdiction. Sweden has answered the call to investigate the crimes, and the strong position afforded to victims of crime in the Swedish criminal justice system suggests that it is well-suited to provide them the justice they are entitled to. This article draws on the experiences gained in the seven trials to date in which victims have participated, to assess the extent to which international legal obligations towards the victims are implemented and were accessible to the victims. Through analysis of legal documents and interviews, the author demonstrates that, while the Swedish system has been fulfilling a wide range of international legal obligations towards victims of crime, the remoteness in time and place, the large number of victims involved and other specifics of the investigations and trials, challenge several central aspects of the Swedish system, such as the right to information, support and reparation.

Justice for victims of atrocity crimes : prosecution and reparations under international law
- 2017
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis takes its starting point from the need for a comprehensive approach towards justice following atrocities, and where not only the states in which the crimes were committed have a role to play. The thesis discusses atrocity crime (genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes) prosecution and reparations procedures concerning individuals as two appropriate courses of action, through which non-territorial states may contribute to atrocity prevention and justice for the victims of atrocities. The analysis addresses whether, under international law, non-territorial states are allowed to, required to, or prohibited from facilitating prosecution and reparations procedures and includes an assessment of the extent to which international law relating to reparations fails to correspond to that applicable to prosecution. The implications of the lack of correspondence are analysed in light of the historical connection and separation of the two courses of action, the procedural and substantive legal overlaps between prosecution and reparations, and the underlying aims and functions of prosecution and reparations. The study covers a wide spectrum of international legal sources, most of them to be found in human rights law, humanitarian law and international criminal law.The study shows that while non-territorial states are included in both conventional and customary law as regards prosecution of atrocity crimes, the same cannot be said in relation to reparations procedures. This serious deficit and inconsistency in international law, is explained by the framing of reparations, but not prosecution, as a matter concerning victims and human rights, thereby leaving the enforcement of the rules to the discretion of each state. Reparation is also considered a private matter and as such falls outside the scope of the far-reaching obligations regarding prosecution. The study suggests taking further the responsibilities of non-territorial states in relation to atrocity crimes. Most urgently, measures should be considered that bring the legal space for reparations procedures into line with that for prosecution in, for instance, future discussions by human rights treaty-monitoring bodies and in the drafting of new international victims' rights, atrocity crimes or civil procedure instruments.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Felix Holm is co-founder of the Maker Station makerspace in Cape Town, South Africa, a coordinator of the Cape Town maker movement, and contributor to a pan-Afrikan makerspace founders’ network. Suné Stassen is founding director and custodian of Open Design Afrika (ODA), a festival and activation platform that advocates, demonstrates and educates how design and creativity should be used for social, environmental and economic transformation. Over many years these two organisations have made significant contributions to reposition the roles of design, making, creativity and innovation within the greater ecosystem and helped build a healthier and more prosperous South Africa. Some of these efforts also contributed to Cape Town’s proposal, submitted before the city was eventually crowned as World Design Capital in 2014. Maker Station and Open Design Afrika believe that fostering people’s ability to become more active and responsive global citizens is key to increasing impact, improving more lives and initiating work towards achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals as a collective effort to design our new preferred futures. Their efforts bring to light contributions to DIY making and hacking and alternative histories less addressed in academic research. Felix (FH) and Suné (SS) spoke to Cindy Kohtala (CK) and Yana Boeva (YB) about their passions and the recent histories of South African DIY making over video-conference, mere days before South Africa went into lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, for this issue.

Successful human rights implementation? Victims of crime and the Swedish example
- 2022

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Consideration of victims and how best to acknowledge their rights and position in the criminal prosecution process has become an intrinsic part of the drafting and negotiation of new international criminal law instruments. In studies of states’ implementation of international victims’ rights, Sweden often places at the top of the class. This article challenges the concept of successful implementation of human rights norms by critically analysing the conformity of Swedish law with international legal obligations towards victims of crime. It further contributes to existing literature describing the factors that may facilitate or obstruct such implementation, and demonstrates that Sweden’s position as a model of successful implementation is more the result of the historical position given to victims of crime in the country than of its commitment to live up to its international obligations. The article also raises doubt as to the Swedish government’s commitment to assuring that Swedish national law upholds its present conformity with international law norms, protecting victims into the future.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter presents a questionnaire study that asks Swedish upper secondary school students about their informal out-of-school ICT-based literacies and how these feed into their formal school-based writing of English argumentative texts. Two questionnaires in combination with national test grades for an English argumentative text assignment are used to tease apart which out-of-school, ICT-based, and other literacies relate to the grades achieved. This showed that reading in Swedish had a significant impact on the grades achieved when writing in English, but writing in Swedish had a negative impact, with English reading or writing in ICT-based platforms having no impact. However, as the boys achieved as well as girls on the English writing task in the national test, unlike in other subjects, we argue that our ordinal regression analysis failed to capture the impact of informal e-learning of English. Free text questionnaire answers confirmed our view of the important role ICT-based literacies in social media and e-sport have on the informal learning of English and the students’ confidence in writing in English as second language. In sum, e-sports and other out-of-school ICT-based literacies lift boys’ performance in English as second language writing. Finally, this chapter presents some directions for future research.

- Teaching training can lag changes in school and society. With the onset of ubiquitous writing and mobile devices, the literacies experiences of today’s school and teacher students are different to those of most teacher trainers. In this chapter, a sequence of case studies is presented linking the school student, the teacher education student, and the teacher educator to provide a multifaceted picture of literacies development. Two questionnaires answered by 71 and 39 upper secondary school students, respectively, provided a picture of literacies use in upper secondary school (Case Study 1). The written tasks and the post-writing interviews with three upper secondary school students highlighted the tensions between out-of-school ubiquitous literacies and the in-school academic writing demands (Case Study 2). The teacher education student participatory research case study with four students challenged perceptions of how teacher education students learn academic literacies, and of student resilience (Case Study 3). Together, the case studies showed a disconnection in school between school student contemporary ubiquitous literacies and school literacies expectations. Although finding ways to ameliorate this disconnection through innovative teacher education is important, finding ways to simultaneously strengthen student teachers’ learning autonomy, strengthen the sustainability of their teaching to keep abreast of ubiquitous literacies changes is central to make school inclusive and sustainable.

- Computer keystroke logging (KSL) software is tailored to study a writer's route from their first keystroke to their final written product. Today, this software is widely available for both PC and Mac computers. Since 1998, when Sullivan et al. first suggested that Trace-it, an early Mac-based piece of KSL software, could be used in the second language (L2) writing classroom, computers have become common in schools, and mobile literacies have become ubiquitous. However, KSL's move into the second language composition classroom has generally not followed these developments. This chapter presents a vision of how KSL can be used in the L2 writing classroom to support a meta-cognitive understanding of each student's writing. In this way, the learning of L2 writing can be individualized.
