The purpose of this thesis is to find out how the Swedish authorities comply with international law by studying the protection of asylum-seeking children that are apprehended by Swedish authorities according to the legislation of LVU because of abuse or neglect and thereafter are deported together with their parents. The aim of this thesis is to find out if Swedish legislation and praxis is consistent with international law through the Convention on the Rights of the Child and EKMR. Would it be possible to increase the protection of these children through incorporating the Convention on the Rights of the Child in Swedish law, through a wider interpretation of the principle of non-refoulement or through more morality in the law? The thesis has been conducted as a literature study where the right-dogmatic method has been used to compare Swedish and international law. The theories by Dworkin about morality and law have been compared to Peczeniks right-dogmatic theories. The review shows that Swedish authorities are infringing article 2, 3, 12 and 19 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, when it comes to the protection of asylum-seeking children. The best way to increase the protection is to incorporate the Convention on the Rights of the Child in Swedish law. By interpreting the principle of Non-refoulement in a wider manner the protection will also increase. However, the use of more morality in the judgements will not ensure the asylum-seeking children a reliable protection. Keywords: Asylum-seeking children, LVU, Convention on the Rights of the Child, EKMR, Non-refoulement, Dworkin, Peczenik.

Utmätning är av betydelse för att vi ska kunna ha ett fungerande kreditsamhälle. Genom att tvångsvis förmå någon att utföra en prestation kan ses som ett skydd för parter i ett avtal eller kreditinstitut.   År 2013 tvångsutmättes en fastighet för en skatteskuld på 6 721 kronor. Fallet prövades i Europadomstolen där Sverige förlorade målet. Domstolen riktade kritik mot Sverige och mot systemet som sådant. Utmätningen hade utförts i enlighet med svensk rätt, men stred mot Europakonventionen för de mänskliga rättigheterna. Trots kritiken har den svenska lagstiftningen inte förändrats särskilt mycket.   Vid utmätning är det viktigt att det råder balans mellan borgenärens rätt att få sina fordringar betalda och gäldenärens rättigheter att inte betala inkorrekta skulder. Detta verkar i praktiken vara en mycket svår avvägning för Kronofogden som exekutiv myndighet. Vidare finns det andra brister med utmätningsförfarandet. Värdeförstöringen som sker vid utmätning är ett exempel.   Att svensk lagstiftning kan strida mot Europakonventionen är något som i så fall påverkar rättssäkerheten. Här uppstår emellertid frågan vad rättssäkerhet egentligen innebär. Trots att många rättsvetenskapsmän eller kvinnor och praktiskt verksamma jurister har beskriver ofta rättssäkerhet utifrån samma rättssäkerhetsfaktorer, men någon enhetlig definition av rättssäkerhet verkar således inte existera. / Execution is important in order for us to have a functioning credit market. By obligating someone to complete a performance can be seen as a protection for parties to an agreement or credit institution.  In 2013, a property was executed for a tax debt of 6 721 SEK. The case was tried in the European Court of Justice where Sweden lost the case. The court addressed criticism against Sweden and the system as such. The detention had been in accordance with Swedish law but violated the European Convention and Human Rights. Despite the criticism, Swedish legislation has not changed.  Regarding the execution procedure it is important that there is a balance between the creditor's right to receive his debts and the debtor's rights. In reality, this seems to be a very difficult balance for Kronofogden as an executive authority. Furthermore, there are other problems regarding the execution procedure. For example, the value destruction that occurs in execution procedure.   The fact that Swedish legislation violates the European Convention is something that can affect rule of law. Here, however, the question arises what rule of law really means. Although many lawyers have often described rule of law based on the same legal certainty, but a uniform definition of rule of law does not seem to exist.
