Prohibiting Sex Purchasing and Ending Trafficking : The Swedish Prostitution Law
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Michigan Journal of International Law. - 1052-2867. ; 33:1, s. 133-157
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Swedish prostitution law from 1999, now followed by Norway and Iceland, criminalized the purchaser and decriminalized the prostituted person. This is analyzed as a cogent state response under international trafficking law, particularly to the obligations set forth in the United Nation’s Trafficking Protocol from 2000. The Protocol states that a person is regarded a trafficking victim when, e.g., someone abuses her “position of vulnerability” in order to exploit her. International jurisprudence and social evidence strongly suggest that prostitution, as practiced in the world, usually satisfies this definition. Further, the Protocol urges states to reduce the demand for prostitution and to protect and assist victims, for instance by adopting laws deterring purchasers of sex, and by supporting those exploited in prostitution. Policy makers, such as the U.S. Department of State, are criticized for taking an inadequate position in face of the growing evidence from the Swedish law's impact.The article shows that Sweden has significantly reduced the occurrence of trafficking in Sweden compared to neighboring countries. It also scrutinizes some misinformation of the law's impact, showing for instance that claims alleging a more dangerous situation for those still in prostitution after 1999 were unfounded. In addition, the article addresses remaining obstacles to the law's effective implementation, arguing that in order to realize the law's full potential to support escape from trafficking, the civil rights of prostituted persons under current law should be strengthened to enable them to claim damages directly from the purchasers for the harm to which they have contributed, and for the violation of the prostituted persons' equality and dignity - a position now recognized by the government to some extent by clarifying amendments made in 2011.

Sweden: From proactive policies to anti-discrimination law

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A shift from politics to law, inefficient enforcement tools, and dislodgment from action to information as well as criticism of gender equality from various angles have all had an impact on the law’s ability to contribute to the achievement of gender equality in Sweden. It is not primarily through anti-discrimination legislation and litigation that gender equality has been achieved in Sweden, and such an approach will probably not be the main strategy in the future. Still, we have to continue to improve the protection provided to victims of individual discrimination and harassment. The Swedish case shows how the individual’s right to access to justice can be undermined in a context where state bodies – such as the Ombudsman – are given wide discretionary powers to promote equality as a collective public interest.

Introduction: Nordic equality and anti-discrimination laws in the throes of change

Ingår i: Nordic Equality and Anti-Discrimination Laws in the Throes of Change Legal developments in Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Iceland. - London : Routledge. - 9781032001258 - 9781003172840

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book provides insights into the drive to achieve substantive gender equality in four Nordic countries: Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. It draws a diverse and complex picture of the long, uneven, and unfinished process towards that goal. These countries’ systematic use of a combination of political and legal instruments has been described as the Nordic gender equality model. The overall aim of such an approach is to achieve substantive equality through a variety of measures that go beyond formal equality. Laws and policies on gender equality vary with the political, social and legal context in each of the Nordic countries, but the Nordic gender equality model may be understood as consisting of three key components. The first is an overarching gender equality policy. The second is welfare legislation that has an explicit or implicit impact on gender relations. The third component is what we refer to as ‘gender equality and anti-discrimination law regimes’: laws that prohibit gender discrimination and promote gender equality through proactive measures, in combination with low-threshold enforcement systems.

The Best Interest of Children and the Basis of Family Policy: The Issue of Reproductive Caring Units
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Cutas, D & Chan, S (eds.). Families: Beyond the Nuclear Ideal. - London and New York : Bloomsbury Academic. - 9781780930107
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The notion of the best interest of children figures prominently in family and reproductive policy discussions and there is a considerable body of empirical research attempting to connect the interests of children to how families and society interact. Most of this research regards the effects of societal responses to perceived problems in families, thus underlying policy on interventions such as adoption, foster care and temporary assumption of custodianship, but also support structures that help families cope with various challenges. However, reference to the best interest of children can also be applied to a more basic issue in family policy, namely that of what is to be considered a family in the first place. This issue does not raise any questions regarding the proper conditions for when society should intervene in or change the family context of a child. Rather, it is about what social configurations should be recognized as a potentially fitting context for children to enter into and (if all goes well) eventually develop into adulthood within /.../ such that society’s default institutional arrangements allow it to have (by sexual and artificial reproduction, adoption, and combinations of these), care for and/or guard children. [This] will frame any further discussion of /.../ policies having further implications for, for example, the practices of adoption and reproductive technology, as well as regulation of custody in the event of separation or parental disagreement.

Regulation of ships at anchor: Safety and environmental implications
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Marine Policy. - : Elsevier BV. - 0308-597X .- 1872-9460. ; 140
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Ships waiting at anchor are associated with considerable environmental pressures and impacts. Growing and congested anchoring areas are receiving increasing scholarly attention to understand the environmental effects caused by large sea-going ships anchoring in coastal waters. While there is a lack of studies addressing the entire spectrum of environmental pressures and impacts from ships at anchor, ranging from scouring of the seafloor, operational emissions and discharges and waste from maintenance carried out while at anchor, it is well established that anchoring is associated with such pressures. This article takes a problem-oriented approach since there are potential cumulative environmental impacts of ships waiting at anchor. From both a public and private law perspective, we examine the legal structures and challenges associated with the regulation of ships waiting at anchor. We also analyze the public and private law factors that may limit the ability to prevent harmful anchoring practices. Our examination shows that while coastal states have significant jurisdictional powers to regulate anchoring in coastal waters, the current international regulatory framework addresses anchoring incidentally and lacks mechanisms for considering the cumulative impacts of anchoring. Furthermore, the incentives for ships to spend a considerable amount of time at anchor appear to differ substantially across different types of charterparties. Improved regulation requires better scientific knowledge, substantial mapping of legal structures, and a stakeholder survey providing a basis for the exploration of potential contractual practices that may reduce market incentives for anchoring.

International law on ship recycling and its interface with EU law
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Marine Pollution Bulletin. - : Elsevier BV. - 0025-326X. ; 109:1, s. 301-309
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The regulation on ship recycling at international and European Union (EU) level has transitioned from the realm of transboundary movement of wastes to a specialized regime, i.e., the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships (2009) (Hong Kong Convention). Although this convention is not in force yet, the principal features of it have been incorporated in EU Regulation 1257/2013 on ship recycling. This paper examines the rationale behind developing a ship recycling regime, its disassociation from wastes, and the departure from the main principles of transboundary movement of wastes, such as the proximity principle, reduction of transboundary movement of wastes, and the prior informed consent procedure. While acknowledging some of the positive features of the emerging ship recycling, it is submitted that the Hong Kong Convention and EU Regulation 1257/2013 on ship recycling represent a step back in the regulation of ship recycling.

Mentally disordered criminal offenders : Legal and criminological perspectives

Ingår i: International Journal of Law and Psychiatry. - : Elsevier BV. - 0160-2527 .- 1873-6386. ; 32:6, s. 377-382

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Legal research in Sweden has traditionally focused on a systematization of the legal rules and their practical application, while the task of studying the effects of the application of the laws has been handed over to other branches of the social sciences. In contrast, new legal theories focusing on proactive and therapeutic dimensions in law have gained increasing attention in the international arena. These approaches may be better suited for evaluating legislation governing compulsory psychiatric care. Theoretical discussions and studies of causal mechanisms underlying criminal behaviour, as well as the implementation and value of instruments for predicting behaviour, are relevant to contemporary criminological research. Criminal behaviour varies across different groups of perpetrators, and the causes can be sought in the interplay between the individual and social factors. Multi-disciplinary efforts, integrating research from forensic psychiatry, psychology, sociology, and criminology, would be beneficial in leading to a better understanding of the causes underlying criminal behaviour.

Fri rörlighet för välfärd : Rättsutvecklingen gällande den fria rörligheten för sjukvårdstjänster
- 2007
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Enligt EG-rätten skall det råda fri rörlighet för tjänster. Sjuk- och hälsovård är sådana tjänster som omfattas av den fria rörligheten. Om allmän sjukvård i Sverige tidigare har uppfattats mer som en skyldighet för landstingen, har EG-rätten medfört att möjligheten att under vissa förutsättningar få vård i andra EU-länder utgör en rättighet för dem som är bosatta i Sverige.Rättsläget i EG-rätten är idag ganska klart. I fråga om sjukvård eller tand-vård som tillhandahålls utanför sjukhus kan en person som är bosatt i Sverige välja om den vill att vården skall utföras i Sverige eller i ett annat EU- eller EES-land. Förutsättningen är att det rör sig om vård som ges av den allmänna sjukvården i Sverige. Svenska myndigheter får ersätta utländska vårdgivare och patienten betalar endast sådana kostnader som den skulle ha betalat i Sve-rige.För vård på sjukhus har EG-domstolen godkänt att patienter får resa utom-lands för vård endast efter tillstånd från den egna staten eller försäkringskassa. Sådana tillstånd måste dock beviljas om patienten inte kan få vården eller minst lika effektiv vård i tid i den egna medlemsstaten. Sverige har ännu inte infört ett förhandstillståndssystem, men det finns planer på detta. När ett så-dant system införs, ökar myndigheternas möjligheter att avslå begäran om att få vård utomlands. Därmed begränsas svenska patienters möjligheter att söka sig till andra EU-länder. Samtidigt begränsas ovissheten om ersättning kom-mer att medges eller inte. De ekonomiska transaktionerna kring vården utom-lands behöver inte längre skötas av de enskilda patienter som får tillstånd.I den mån vårdens kringkostnader, som kostnad för resa, logi, att patienten behöver stöd av en medföljande etc. ersätts vid vårdresor inom Sverige, gäller i princip att sådana kostnader också skall ersättas när patienten reser utom-lands. Det skall råda likabehandling mellan patienter som får vård inom Sveri-ge och svenska patienter som får vård i andra EU-länder.EG-rätten innebär ett förändringstryck på svensk sjukvård. Vård skall i EU-länderna ges efter behov och inte efter betalningsförmåga. För att alla skall kunna få vård efter behov krävs någon form av kollektiv finansiering. I och med att EG-rätten gör det möjligt för enskilda patienter att ta med sig skatte-pengar utomlands utan att själva behöva betala annat än svenska patientavgif-ter, uppstår ett finansiellt utflöde. Om väldigt många patienter gör bruk av den fria rörligheten, skulle det kunna leda till dåliga finanser för sjukvården. Erfa-renheterna visar att det trots allt är ganska få patienter som verkligen söker vård utomlands. Den svenska sjukvården kan också möta ett eventuellt pati-entutflöde genom att erbjuda effektiv vård i tid i Sverige och förbättra vårdens tillgänglighet.Sammantaget kan inte rättsutvecklingen inom EU sägas utgöra ett hot mot den europeiska sociala modellen.

EU Citizenship: Twenty Years On : Special Issue German Law Journal
- 2014
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Maastricht Treaty (the “Treaty”) first introduced the status of EU citizenship. The twentieth anniversary of the signing of the Treaty, marked in 2013, was declared the European Year of the Citizen. Union citizenship has been understood as the world’s first post-national citizenship, although it is still complementary to national citizenships. EU citizens enjoy rights that have been expanded, modified, and reinterpreted in light of the EU integration process. The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has been a driving force in this process. This twentieth anniversary has provided the occasio for this special issue. Indeed, much has happened over the last two decades. The Maastricht Treaty entered into force on the heels of German reunification, and afterwards, a series of EU treaties followed: The Amsterdam Treaty, the Nice Charter of Fundamental Rights, the aborted constitutionalization process and the Rome Treaty in 2004, and the Treaty of Lisbon. The Euro took over former national currencies in 2002; the enlargement process led to today’s twenty-eight Member States. But the ratio of this special issue is based on other events as linked to the 2008 financial crisis, bailouts, the fiscal compact, and similar measures. In a nutshell, the timeliness of this volume is linked to the current financial disarray. Since prognosis presupposes diagnosis, no further words are necessary as to the importance of this task. It is (almost) self-evident that before taking action and preparing for the future, one needs to address the very first question: Nosce te ipsum...

Innovating Ocean Governance Law

- The ocean provides essential ecosystem services such as food production, off- shore renewable energy, carbon sequestration, and recreation. However, scientif- ic evidence warns us about the severe impacts the ocean is facing due to pollution, unsustainable fishing practices, and climate change effects. These effects include ocean acidification, biodiversity loss, and sea level rise. From international, EU, and national perspectives, there is an outspoken aim to boost the ‘blue’ economy while securing healthy marine ecosystems. However, the legal system handling these integrated demands is diverse and fragmented regarding sectoral aims, geographical areas, and governance levels. In their current form, they are not designed or fit to provide an ecosystem-based approach to managing human–ocean relations or to implementing the objective of a healthy and sustainable ocean. To integrate legal competence relevant to ocean governance in both practice and theory, scholars of different legal areas within the Department of Law col- laborate internally and, more importantly, with scholars within other disciplines and actors outside academia. Our ambition is for this interdisciplinary endeavor to prompt changes in socio-environmental governance structures and legal ed- ucation. From a socio-environmental perspective, we examine opportunities to integrate our knowledge of different legal areas and improve our transdisciplinary capacity. We analyze and discuss challenges, drivers, and pathways to provide knowledge supporting a transformation to a more sustainable blue economy. From a legal education perspective, interdisciplinarity requires a problem-based approach and the introduction of threshold concepts that shape how we apprehend a particular phenomenon. Ocean governance is an example of a concept providing a valuable opportunity for broader legal reasoning and for finding meaning- ful connections between national, regional, and international law.

Från stigbundenhet till lagbundenhet? Kritiska vägval vid upphörande av tvångsvård enligt LVU
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Tidsskrift for rettsvitenskap. - 0040-7143. ; 136:5, s. 586-619
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Inom ett pågående forskningsprojekt tillämpas teorin om stigbundenhet (eng. path dependency) på LVU-processen i syfte att problematisera varför upphörande av tvångsvård av barn möter vissa svårigheter. Teorin om stigbundenhet innebär, som förklaringsmodell för mänskligt och institutionellt beteende, att beslutsfattande tenderar att följa en redan inslagen väg, det vill säga tidiga vägval får betydelse. Allteftersom samma stig återkommande beträds av olika aktörer blir den allt mer inarbetad. Sannolikheten ökar för att samma väg beträds av nästa aktör, vilket så småningom resulterar i självförstärkande cykler. Artikeln beskriver tre sammanhang där stigbundenhetstesen metodologiskt operationaliseras till en (process)rättslig, en institutionell respektive en normativ kontext. Våra empiriska resultat (kvantitativa och kvalitativa) illustrerar i dessa sammanhang stigbundenhetsproblematiken och uppkomsten av vissa vägvalssituationer, så kallade critical junctions. I artikeln redogörs självreflektivt för metodens hermeneutiska återkoppling till de teoretiska ingångsvärdena. Studien påvisar teoribildningens relevans för studiet av relevant rättsområde, dess reella rättstillämpning och även bakomliggande lagstiftningsprocess. I Sverige innebär den senaste tidens snabba lagstiftningsåtgärder att stigbundenheter riskerar att befästas som lagbundenheter.

LVU – på villovägar? Om stigbundenhet vid upphörande av tvångsvård
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Nordisk socialrättslig tidskrift. - 2000-6500. ; :27-28
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The present article series deals with one of the most difficult dilemmas pertaining to child protective custody: balancing long-term stability for children in care against family reunification as ultimate goal. In the first part of this article series, the balance was traced through the formal requirements applicable to, on the one hand, the initiation of child custody and on the other hand, its termination. The first article concluded that – at least with respect to foster home assignments – the longer children stay in protective care, the more difficult it becomes for families to reunite. Path dependency – a theoretical model from the social sciences – was suggested towards, if not explaining, then at least understanding some elements of the legal proceedings conducive towards lock-in effects. These conducive mechanisms are here, in the second article of this series, placed in three legal contexts: First, the procedural framework representing the base rules. It is argued that administrative courts’ ex officio mandate, the loose ambit of “therapeutic” proceedings in combination with the allocation of the burden of proof slant the playing field against individual litigants (albeit in order to “help” them). The playing field itself – referred to as a second institutional context, is then approached from the vantage point of legal theory, taking account of Swedish and international empirical data on different litigants’ litigation odds. In a third, normative context, prevailing notions of familial normality and deviation are explored in order to trace additional factors making it difficult to break the cycle of protective measures.

- Förvaltningsrätten i Malmö underkände i fredags den så kallade gymnasieamnestin, som ger 9 000 personer utan asylskäl rätt att stanna i landet. Lagrådet har tidigare slagit fast att samma lag utarbetats på ett undermåligt sätt. Det innebär att den svenska juridiken på ett förmodligen aldrig tidigare skådat sätt har tagit strid med politiken om en lag. Det är en sensation, med potentiellt stora konstitutionella implikationer.

The public uses of coercion and force : from constitutionalism to war
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Law Log WZB Centre for Global Constitutionalism. - Oxford : Oxford University Press.
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Kantian project of achieving perpetual peace among states seems (at best) an unfulfilled hope. Modern states’ authority claims and their exercise of power and sovereignty span a spectrum: from the most stringently and explicitly codified—the constitutional level—to the most fluid and turbulent acts of war. The Public Uses of Coercion and Force investigates both these individual extremes and also their relationship. Using Arthur Ripstein’s recent work Kant and the Law of War as a focal point, this book explores this connection through the lens of the (just) war theory and its relationship to the law. The Public Uses of Coercion and Force asks many key questions: what, if any, are the normatively salient differences between states’ internal coercion and the external use of force? Is it possible to isolate the constitutional level from other aspects of the state’s coercive reach? How could that be done while also guaranteeing a robust conception of human rights and adherence to the rule of law? With individual replies by Ripstein to chapters, this book will be of interest to students and academics of constitutional law, justice, philosophy of law, criminal law theory, and political science.

Ändrad könstillhörighet och rättsligt föräldraskap

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Hur hanterar föräldrabalken att män föder barn och att kvinnor kan ha spermier? År 2013 avskaffades krav på sterilisering i samband med ändring av juridisk könstillhörighet och år 2019 infördes ett nytt avsnitt i föräldrabalken om transpersoners och intersexpersoners föräldraskap. Ytterligare bestämmelser införs i januari 2022. Denna artikel syftar till att beskriva och kritiskt analysera den rättsliga regleringen för föräldraskap vid ändrad könstillhörighet. Artikeln beskriver hur regleringen växt fram och förklarar hur den tillämpas i olika situationer. Reglerna har blivit anmärkningsvärt komplicerade, framför allt för att lagstiftaren har behållit de traditionella reglerna för faderskap och moderskap oförändrade och i stället lagt till ett separat avsnitt med tilläggsbestämmelser. Detta medför ett flertal praktiska och stigmatiserande problem. En utredning har tillsatts för att överväga hur föräldrabalken kan göras mer könsneutral för att undvika sådana problem. Avslutningsvis diskuteras därför möjliga utformningar av en sådan lagstiftning.

Value Added Tax as a Legal Transplant
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Intertax. - : Wolters Kluwer. - 0165-2826 .- 1875-8347. ; 49:2, s. 186-197
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, Value Added Tax (VAT) is examined as a legal transplant. The legal transplants theory relies on the assumption that legal transplants are the primary driver behind legal change. In order to establish whether this is the case for VAT, the distribution of VAT across the world is examined. This spread, however, should be evaluated against the different legal VAT families that may be identified around the world in order to determine if the identity of the transplanted system remains. That said, VAT families vary over time, and there is no specified definition of different VAT families. The establishment of the relevance of studying VAT as a legal transplant may feasibly lead to a discussion on whether a legal transplant approach is appropriate for comparative research in VAT since such an approach entails a risk for too much emphasis on similarities. The fact that statutes appear to be similar does not necessarily mean that the law is the same due to various factors such as legal culture. However, with an awareness of the inadequacies of the legal transplants approach as a method for comparative studies, the approach may provide valuable insight into explaining the similarities and differences in VAT.

A Posthuman Data Subject? The Right to Be Forgotten and Beyond
- 2017
-
Ingår i: German Law Journal. - 2071-8322. ; 18:5, s. 1145-1162
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The general assumption in the West is that there still is an inherent difference between persons and things. This divide informs how “the human” and human subjectivity are constructed as distinct from all others. Recently, the distinction has been challenged in posthumanist theory, where it has been argued that the divide between human and nonhuman agents—or rather, bodies—is always an effect of a differential set of powers. For this reason, the boundaries between human and nonhuman are always in flux. As posthumanist theorists have argued, this change in boundaries may be specifically visualized in relation to digital technology. Today, such technologies obfuscate the boundaries between persons and things, and the extensive utilization of smartphones, social media, and online search engines are just three common examples. In parallel to the continuous expansion of digital technologies, critical understandings of how “data” and human personhood are produced are increasingly raised in legal theory. Recent developments establishing increased privacy online through EU law, including the new General Data Protection Regulation and the famous Right to Be Forgotten case could possibly be understood to have struck a balance between interests of the human–in the form of privacy—and the digital—in the form of information diffusion. In this Article, a posthumanist theoretical perspective is utilized to show how the new data protection legislation, with a focus on the Right to Be Forgotten, produces such protection yet continuously withdraws data as a separate body from human bodies. For this reason, it is argued that the construction of new human rights, such as those considering data protection, would benefit from understanding how the separation is, in itself, an effect of advanced capitalism.

At the same time, the technology is associated with significant uncertainties and risks. Focusing on the geological storage of captured CO2, this article takes stock of ongoing processes for accommodating CCS in international law. It finds that the current approach to CCS is patchy and, partly, short on substance. It then attempts to establish to what extent a harmonized international approach to regulating CCS is called for and how it may be achieved.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Nord Stream project, which comprises two natural gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea, eminently illustrates several of the ambiguities that pertain to the ability of coastal States to regulate the laying and operation of transit pipelines in their exclusive economic zone and, conversely, the extent of the right of other States to carry out such activities. A highly significant issue is how seabed surveys undertaken in preparation for the laying of pipelines should be characterized, and thus regulated, under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. What is to be considered a ‘reasonable measure’ by a coastal State is another crucial issue which, together with the extent of the requirement for consent by the coastal State for any specific pipeline route, are decisive for defining the balance between potentially competing interests relating to submarine transit pipelines.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In 2019, Nordisk Tidsskrift for Selskabsret has been published for 25 years. To celebrate the anniversary, a conference was held in Copenhagen on October 4, where some 70 participants – academics, regulators and practitioners from all of the Nordic countries – met under festive circumstances to discuss the Nordic cooperation on the implementation of the EU Company law. During the conference, professor Paul Krüger Andersen’s hard work of establishing the journal was also commemorated. This report documents the conference overarching discussions.
