The presumption of innocence in the EU competition law
2022
This Bachelor thesis aims to analyse the application of the presumption of innocence in the EU competition law, more precisely in the anti-cartel proceedings. In addition, this thesis will provide the analysis of the categorisation of the competition law. This, in turn, is a topical debate due to the fact that in competition law the penalties are comparable to criminal charges notwithstanding the administrative procedure. The thesis will try to answer the question “To what extent is the presumption of innocence applied in the EU anti-cartel procedure?”. This paper's primary objective is to identify the procedural rights of cartel members, analyse their implementation, and emphasise any pote…
The status of the right to secession in international law within the context of the conflict between the principles of self-determination and territo…
2020
The principles of self-determination and territorial integrity are some of the most important norms in modern international law, enshrined in the UN Charter and numerous subsequent sources of law. However, in practice, the two come in conflict when a minority group’s desire for complete self-determination in the form of secession confronts the territorial inviolability of the state within which that group resides. This paper seeks to answer how such a situation is managed by the international community through examining the status of a right to secession in international law. It is a concept surrounded by much controversy, however, in the contemporary international arena, where secessionist…
Legal controversies and ethical considerations concerning the property rights in the human body
2021
When considering the rise of the biotech industry over the years, one might wonder if the procurement of the biological materials, that are necessary for the success of the industry, was done through ethical and safe measures, especially considering the stagnant position of many countries towards granting individuals ownership rights over their bodies. As such, this paper inspects and compares the current legal approaches that are used in certain common law and civil law jurisdictions to determine individuals’ rights over their bodies, and considers the bundle of rights concept and the law of equity as possible solutions to the ethical and equitable deficiencies observed in certain jurisdic…
Human rights in the emergency situation: constitutional perspective of Latvia
2022
The concept of an emergency situation can be considered a novelty in the international legal system that gained its overwhelming importance due to the spread of Covid-19 pandemics all over the globe. Was the international community ready to employ clear and well-structured mechanisms of emergency situation concept in the context of human rights protection? Was the Latvian legal response to the Covid-19 emergency in the field of human rights protection successful? The “institution of emergency” in the international area was developed by the ECHR, whose ideas were incorporated into Latvian constitutional system and legal order. In that regard, the research uses legal doctrinal method in order…

El treball social davanta la crisis
2010
The economic crisis is a time when the social sector professional has to live up to expectations by informing, raising awareness, helping with self-organization and mobilisation from our privileged position as intermediaries with the people, honouring our ethical obligation to fight for the social rights of the underprivileged and defending them. One cannot understand a social worker still managing to remain faithful to their ethical principles while not participating in denunciation and campaigning groups and not having motives for getting involved in the denunciation protests and mobilizations taking place all over the land today.

In 1969, based on the concept of the Hausdorff metric, Nadler Jr. introduced the notion of multivalued contractions. He demonstrated that, in a complete metric space, a multivalued contraction possesses a fixed point. Later on, Nadler&rsquo

On Defining the Participatory Museum: The Case of the Museum of the Second World War in Gdansk
2021
This article seeks to contribute to the current debate on the new definition of the “museum” – a debate which led to turmoil at the 2019 ICOM General Assembly in Kyoto. With reference to the case study of the Museum of the Second World War in Gdansk (MSWW), it analyses the new and very successful genre of the narrative museum, a genre which arguably fulfils the core elements of the definition currently being discussed by ICOM. In this regard, it brings into focus the paramount importance of community involvement in creating and managing narrative museums – an aspect that has been virtually absent in the academic and media debates over the nature of the MSWW and its programme. By pointing ou…
