Oppgavens mål er kort forklart å redegjøre for rettstilstanden i norsk rett innenfor temaet utjenlige forsøk. Det mest interessante og problematiske, er i hvilken grad utjenlige forsøk straffes, og hvordan straff begrunnes. Videre reises og drøftes rettspolitiske betraktninger for hvordan regelen om utjenlige forsøk kan praktiseres. For en noe bredere drøftelse er komparativ rett tatt med. Andre ...

How can the existing international legal framework and mechanisms available to States mitigate marine plastic pollution?

The Central Arctic Ocean (Central AO) is rapidly changing. Climate change is resulting in declining sea-ice extent and thickness, ecosystem restructuring, and new opportunities for human activities. Marine protected areas (MPAs) for the Arctic high seas will need to be adaptive and flexible to respond to the complex and dynamic system. Dynamic Ocean Management (DOM), a novel approach where management ...

Climate change has grown into the biggest concern of the 21st century. At the heart of the climate change problem is the world’s energy consumption, more precisely the consumption of non-renewable energy. A particular form of energy which is for the past five years increasingly being explored even if not envisaged to taking place in the near future: geothermal energy. To date, only a few pilot ...

In 2018, Russian coast guard vessels fired upon and apprehended three Ukrainian naval vessels and the crew on board near the Kerch Strait off the coast of Crimea. The case was brought before the ITLOS for the prescription of provisional measures and is pending the decision of the Annex VII arbitral tribunal. Since Russia has issued a declaration in accordance with art. 298(1)(b) of the LOSC, excluding ...

Article 234 of UNCLOS is in many ways exceptional, but it is not unique in the sense that it grants to the coastal state “complete” legislative power. Arguably, “complete” coastal state jurisdiction exists in the territorial sea for the purposes enumerated in Article 21(1), allowing coastal states to adopt ship reporting systems, pilotage, and other routing measures unilaterally. The analysis of ...

Our research addresses knowledge integration for the good governance of the environment and the oceans: (a) through a comprehensive legal, political science, and anthropological analysis; and (b) by providing an examination of crucial research foci and research gaps in the fields of environmental and marine governance, along the North–South divide. Our subsequent critical synopsis reveals how existing ...

The research investigates the problems and maps the solutions to the serious threat that plastics pose to the oceans, food safety, and human health, with more than eight million tons of plastic debris dumped in the sea every year. The aim of this study is to explore how to better improve the regulatory process of ocean plastics by integrating scientific results, regulatory strategies and action plans ...

Manglende ivaretakelse av gjenforeningsmålet, især ved fastsettelse av samvær, har vært et gjentakende ankepunkt mot Norge i de senere års barnevernssaker hos EMD. Høyesterett har, på bakgrunn av EMD-dommene, oppstilt et tydelig skille mellom fastsettelse av samvær der målet om gjenforening står ved lag, og der gjenforeningsmålet er oppgitt. I avhandlingen drøftes det hvorfor det oppstilles et ...

As largest source of renewable energy, forest-based bioenergy is an important source of energy for the EU. In the Renewable Energy Directive, the EU instrument that promotes the use of renewable energy, forest-based bioenergy is considered to be a carbon neutral source of renewable energy. This presumption is connected to the condition that the emissions from the harvesting of trees as a result of ...
