Osloavtalen och den folkrättsliga definitionen av stat

This essay investigates the Oslo Accords with the purpose of examining if the International Law Criteria for State can be found in these. The Criteria are a defined territory, a permanent population, a government and a capacity to enter into relations with other states. This will be done with support of three theoretical perspectives, which offers different views of the Criteria for State and updated research regarding the Accords, and its process. The primary materials are the two, still valid, Oslo Accords from 1993 and 1995. The method used is content analysis, as the purpose of this essay is to examine the information found in the Oslo Accords articles. The analysis shows that the three first criteria are found in the Oslo Accords. However, the fourth criteria regarding a capacity to enter into relations with other states is not, since this is prohibited in the Oslo Accords II. Furthermore, it is shown that the Criteria for State regarding a government is the most dominating one. The lack of recognition and prohibition to a capacity to enter into relations with other states presents an obstacle, since it makes Palestine’s road to become an internationally recognized state more difficult

Ekumeniska Följeslagarprogrammet i Israel och Palestina

This essay investigates the Swedish Ecumenical Programme in Israel-Palestine (SEAPPI) with the purpose of examining how an NGO, such as SEAPPI, can remain neutral or impartial in an asymmetrical conflict. This will be done with the support of Slim’s (1997) perspective on neutrality and impartiality. The primary material are the two books based on the accompaniers’ reports on the situation and their experiences in Israel-Palestine. The method of this essay is content analysis, as the purpose is to examine the contents of these reports. What the investigation shows is that SEAPPI, although having neutral ingredients taken from Slims perspective, is more of an impartial actor in the sense that they do not take sides towards the parties in the conflict, but do against violations on international law and human rights. Despite of this, it is, more often than not, the Palestinian voices that are heard in the reports, and not in the same extent the Israeli civil society. This presents an obvious problem. Keywords: EAPPI, SEAPPI, Non Governmental Organisations (NGO), impartiality, neutrality, Israel-Palestine conflict, Accompanier, content analysis. Denna uppsats undersöker det Svenska Ekumeniska Följeslagarprogrammet i Israel-Palestina (SEAPPI) med syftet att undersöka hur en NGO, som SEAPPI, håller sig neutral eller opartisk i en asymmetrisk konflikt. Detta med hjälp av Slim (1997) perspektiv på neutralitet och opartiskhet. Mitt primärmaterial är två böcker som är baserad på följeslagarnas rapporter om situationen och deras erfarenheter i Israel-Palestina. Min metod är innehållsanalys då jag vill undersöka innehållet i dessa rapporter. Vad min undersökning visar är att SEAPPI, trots att de har neutrala ingredienser som tagits ifrån Slims perspektiv, är de oftare en opartisk aktör som inte tar ställning gentemot parterna i konflikten men tar ställning mot kränkningar/brott mot folkrätten och mänskliga rättigheter. Dock är det oftast de palestinska rösterna som kommer fram i rapporterna, och inte alls i samma utsträckning den israeliska civilsamhället. Detta är ett uppenbart problem då programmet ska vara opartiska i konflikten

Metamorphic paragenesis and P-T conditions in garnet amphibolite from the Median Segment of the Idefjorden Terrane, Lilla Edet

The Sveconorwegian orogeny (c. 1 Ga) lead to the recrystallization of large parts of southwestern Sweden, with widespread metamorphism as well as local migmatization. The Idefjorden Terrane, which has been studied less extensively than the nearby Eastern Segment, is divided by the Göta Älv Shear Zone and the Dalsland Boundary Thrust into two main units; the Western and Median Segments. A garnet amphibolite located in the Median Segment, approximately 10 km east of the Göta Älv Shear Zone, was studied in order to get a better understanding of the P-T conditions of the area as well as the implications this has for the geological history of the Idefjorden Terrane. The metamorphic paragenesis and textures of the rock helped determine that the garnet amphibolite was close to equilibrium conditions during peak metamorphism and that the metamorphic minerals observed grew in the presence of partial melt. P-T calculations using the software Thermobarometry (GTB) showed that the core of the garnet grew under temperatures between 630 and 680°C and pressures between 9 and 10 kbar, while the temperature and pressure reached 680 to 750°C and 8.5 to 10 kbar during the growth of the garnet rim. The temperature intervals are consistent with observations suggesting that the rock underwent partial melting, and these P-T conditions correspond to upper amphibolite facies and a depth of between 31.5 and 37 km. Recent U-Pb data by Ingered (2019) of migmatites located close to the sample location gives a minimum age of migmatization of 1019±27 Ma in the Median Segment, which correlates well with the theory of the Idefjorden Terrane being buried to a depth of at least 35 km during the Agder phase (1.08-0.98 Ga; Bingen et al. 2008b; Ingered 2019). Evidence of local retrograde metamorphism, likely in the prehnite-pumpellyite facies, was also observed in the garnet amphibolite in the form of partial replacement of biotite by prehnite

Vapenlagstiftningen

Denna uppsats presenterar de svenska riksdagspartiernas syn på vapenlagstiftningen under åren 1996-2011 genom deras inlämnade motioner. Vi har studeratpartiernas samtliga inlämnade motioner till riksdagen under denna tidsperiod, information i ämnet på partiernas hemsidor samt försökt upprätta mailkontakt med var och ett av riksdagspartierna. Resultatet av detta har vi sedan studerat gentemot Gallagher et als teori om partifamiljerna och var de brukar stå. De slutsatser vi har kunnat dra är att de flesta partierna har synpunkter på aktuell lagstiftning från 1996 och har motionerat på förändringar i vapenlagstiftningen.Utifrån Gallagher et al teori om partifamilj tolkas resultatet i överenstämmelse med att teori är fast, samhället och samhällsfrågor är ständigt i förändring
