;Biedermann, Alex; Taroni, Franco - PublicationAccès libreA critical appraisal of the jurisprudential role of connecting factors in private international law with an emphasis on commercial contractsCette thèse explore les aspects jurisprudentiels des facteurs de rattachement dans les litiges transfrontaliers, en mettant particulièrement l'accent sur les litiges internationaux en matière de contrats commerciaux. La thèse se compose de trois parties (partie I, partie II, partie III). Identifier toutes les principales lacunes liées à l'application des facteurs de rattachement aux litiges transfrontaliers et leurs conséquences en droit anglais, en droit suisse et en droit de l'UE remettant en question l'arbitrage des tribunaux nationaux dans les litiges transfrontaliers, leurs verdicts et les objectifs ultimes du droit international privé, a été le cœur de cette thèse tout au long de la quête de répondre à l'une des principales questions de ma thèse, à savoir dans quelle mesure l'emploi de facteurs de rattachement se révèle efficace dans l'arbitrage des tribunaux nationaux dans les litiges transfrontaliers. La thèse examine le développement historique du droit international privé (partie I) et l'évolution des facteurs de rattachement dans la jurisprudence du droit international privé (partie II). Les connaissances acquises dans la partie I et la partie II ont joué un rôle significatif dans l'élaboration des recommandations proposées (conclusion) en ce qui concerne les contrats commerciaux dans cette thèse. La partie III porte sur l'implication de l'application des facteurs de rattachement dans les litiges internationaux en matière de contrats commerciaux dans trois juridictions, à savoir l'UE, la Suisse et l'Angleterre et le Pays de Galles. La méthodologie de recherche utilisée dans cette thèse adopte une approche comparative, à travers laquelle les règles de droit international privé dans les trois systèmes juridiques susmentionnés, en particulier les dispositions concernant les facteurs de rattachement, ont été examinées à l'aide de méthodes de recherche qualitative. Les sources qui ont été particulièrement examinées sont les textes législatifs, les décisions de justice, les écrits de divers juristes renommés et les développements récents en droit international privé dans le droit suisse, le droit anglais et le droit de l'UE. Les raisons du choix des trois systèmes juridiques susmentionnés sont que j'ai étudié le droit dans des universités anglaises et suisses, et les systèmes juridiques sélectionnés englobent une juridiction de droit civil, qui est la Suisse, une juridiction de common law, qui est l'Angleterre et le Pays de Galles, ainsi que la compréhension du droit international privé au niveau supranational, qui est l'UE. Ces choix m'ont aidé à comprendre et à renforcer mes connaissances sur les éléments du droit international privé, en particulier les facteurs de rattachement, dans une perspective d'étude comparative. L'étude se conclut en proposant, sur la base des résultats de la recherche, un système d'arbitrage de la Cour supranationale fondé sur la résolution en ligne des litiges (RDL) pour les litiges transfrontaliers, que je crois fermement être capable de résoudre un certain nombre de problèmes, en particulier ceux liés aux facteurs de rattachement dans les litiges civils transfrontaliers. This thesis explores the jurisprudential aspects of connecting factors in cross-border disputes with a special focus on international commercial contract disputes. The thesis consists of three parts (part I, part II, part III). Finding out all the major loopholes concerning the application of connecting factors to cross-border disputes and their consequences under English law, Swiss law and EU law that question state court adjudication of cross-border disputes, their verdict and the ultimate aims and objectives of private international law, has been the crux of this thesis throughout in the pursuit of answering one of the major questions of my thesis as to if and/or what extent the employment of connecting factors is being turned out to be effective in the state court adjudication of cross-border disputes. The thesis investigates historical development of private international law (part I) and the evolution of connecting factors in the jurisprudence of private international law (part II). Knowledge acquired in part I and part II played a significant role to the development of the proposed recommendations (conclusion) as regards commercial contracts in this thesis. Part III entails the implication of the application of connecting factors in international commercial contract disputes in three jurisdictions namely EU, Switzerland and England and Wales. The research methodology utilised in this thesis adopts a comparative approach, through which private international law rules in the aforementioned three legal systems, especially provisions concerning connecting factors, have been examined using qualitative research methods. The sources that have been particularly looked at are statutory instruments, court cases, writing of various renowned legal scholars, and recent developments in PIL within Swiss law, English law and EU law. The reasons of choosing the above mentioned three legal systems are that I have read law at English and Swiss universities, and the selected legal systems encompass civil law jurisdiction which is Switzerland, common law jurisdiction which is England and Wales as well as the understanding of private international law at the supranational level which is EU. These choices have helped me grasp and strengthen my knowledge of private international law elements, particularly connecting factors, from a comparative study perspective. The study concludes by proposing, based on the findings of the research, a supranational court adjudication system founded on online dispute resolution (ODR) for cross-border disputes, which I firmly believe shall be capable of resolving a number of issues particularly those related to connecting factors in cross-border civil disputes.
- PublicationAccès libreA methodological journey towards integrating a gender perspective into the measurement of violence against women and intimate partner violenceOver the past 40 years, violence against women has been the subject of a multi-disciplinary dialogue regarding its nature, origins, and “true numbers,” as illustrated by the increasing number of publications on the issue. This debate has focused on how violence against women compares to other forms of interpersonal violence and how individual victimization experiences are to be understood in the broader system of hierarchical gender relations and inequalities. Most importantly, scholars struggled to integrate sociocultural factors into measurement tools that individualize or decontextualize violent behaviors. This debate has been tightly intertwined with—and fostered by—the collection of an increasing amount of empirical data, although several gaps remain. In this contribution, we review some of the specifics of gender-based violence: how it is defined, operationalized, and ultimately measured through various types of prevalence studies. We briefly describe the development of dedicated violence against women surveys, and how international efforts contributed to the dissemination of best practices and survey guidelines. With this in mind, we reflect on the current state of research on violence against women and intimate partner violence in Switzerland and highlight promising avenues for further developing rigorous gender-based violence prevalence studies building on the state-of-the-art international expertise.

- PublicationAccès libreAssessing incarcerated women’s physical and mental health status and needs in a Swiss prison: a cross-sectional study(2022-2-22)
;Augsburger, Aurélie ;Neri, Céline ;Bodenmann, Patrick ;Gravier, Bruno; Clair, CaroleBackground. Women make up 5% of the European prison population on average. Almost invisible in prison and health research, and suffering the stigma associated with female offending, incarcerated women are often forgotten, and their specific healthcare needs remain much ignored. Combining face-to-face survey interviews and medical chart data, we aim to assess the health status, healthcare needs, and access to preventive medicine of women incarcerated in Switzerland. Results. Sixty incarcerated adult women participated in a cross-sectional study to assess their life and incarceration histories, physical and mental health problems, medication, and use of medical services. Eligibility criteria were (a) an incarceration of at least four weeks and (b) the ability to provide written informed consent. Exclusion criteria were psychiatric instability and insufficient language competence. Women’s average age was 34.3 years old (SD = 9.8); 45.0% of them were born in Switzerland, 33.3% in Europe and 15.0% on the African continent. Overall, 61.7% of women self-reported physical or mental health problems and 13.3% indicated they were once diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection. Further, 78.3% of women were active cigarette smokers; more than one in three women reported alcohol use problems and almost one in two women had used at least one illicit drug in the year before incarceration. Depression and perceived stress scores were above clinical cut-off points for more than half of interviewed women. When asked how they rated their health, 68.3% of women felt it had worsened since incarceration. All but four women had accessed prison medical services; however, our study does not indicate whether women’s use of healthcare was indeed adequate to their needs. Conclusions. This study demonstrated incarcerated women’s poor health and health-risk behaviours. Structural changes and gender-responsive health promotion interventions have the potential to improve the health of incarcerated women and help them return to the community in better health. - PublicationMétadonnées seulementBelgium, Canada and Switzerland: Are There Differences in the Contributions of Selected Variables on Self-Reported Property-Related and Violent Delinquency?(2010)
; ;Vettenburg, Nicole ;Savoie, Josée ;Lucia, Sonia ;Gavray, ClaireZeman, KlarkaThree countries with different sociodemographic characteristics and different school and criminal justice systems are compared using data from Belgium, Switzerland, and Canada with respect to juvenile delinquency as measured by the International Self-Reported Delinquency questionnaire (ISRD-2). Following a brief presentation of descriptive statistics of the different samples, multivariate analyses including basic variables such as gender, age, family composition, immigrant status, school attachment, victimisation, and family and peer relationships make up the core of this study. The contributions of these selected variables are then compared between the participating countries. Between these three countries we find similarities and differences in explaining self-reported property-related and violent delinquency. In the final part of the article, the implications of these findings are discussed. - PublicationMétadonnées seulement
