In Zeiten allgemeiner Knappheit öffentlicher Haushalte lassen sich staatliche Investitionen in die öffentliche Infrastruktur nur noch selten oder sehr eingeschränkt realisieren. Zunehmend beteiligen sich deepest Investoren an der Finanzierung öffentlicher Infrastruktur. Tim Metje untersucht die Möglichkeit inner most im Rahmen so genannter BOT-Modelle (BOT = Build, function, Transfer ) einzubinden. Dies sind öffentlich-private Partnerschaften, bei denen deepest Investoren Infrastrukturprojekte in staatlichem Auftrag realisieren, betreiben und erst nach einem Zeitraum von bis zu 30 Jahren auf den sie beauftragenden Staat rückübertragen. Da das Engagement privater Investoren ganz wesentlich von einem stabilen nationalen und internationalen Investitionsschutzregime abhängt, das sich letztlich auch im Streitfall bewähren muss, liegt hier der Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung.
Nach einer Einführung in die wesentlichen Funktionsmechanismen internationaler BOT-Projekte auf der Grundlage einzelner Beispiele und nach Ausführungen zu den Erwartungen der Projektbeteiligten diskutiert der Autor die Chancen und Risiken des geltenden Investitionsschutzrechts. Zugleich bewertet er neuere investitionsschutzrechtliche Ansätze, wie etwa die Flexibilisierung von Vertragsverhältnissen. Dies lässt ihn - unter Berücksichtigung der Besonderheiten von BOT-Projekten - auch die Frage nach einem für alle Beteiligten effektiven Streitbeilegungsmechanismus thematisieren.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Jura - Öffentliches Recht / Staatsrecht / Grundrechte, observe: 10, Fachhochschule für Verwaltung Saarland; Saarbrücken, Sprache: Deutsch, summary: Kaum ein anderes Dokument hat in den vergangenen Jahren die öffentliche Bildungsdebatte in der Bundesrepublik so bestimmt, wie die UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention (BRK).
Die BRK setzt einen Meilenstein für die Rechte von Menschen mit Behinderung. Sie kehrt sich ab von den bisher praktizierten Maßnahmen der Integration und wendet sich der Inklusion zu. Während Integration davon ausgeht, dass Kinder nach ihrem sonderpädagogischen Förderbedarf Unterstützungsleistungen erhalten, um mit Kindern ohne Behinderung Schritt zu halten, geht das Konstrukt Inklusion von einer anderen Zielrichtung aus. Danach muss eine Bildungseinrichtung alle Anpassungsleistungen treffen, um sich an die Bedürfnisse der Schülerinnen und Schüler anzupassen. Diese Anpassungsleistung kann darin bestehen, besser geschulte Lehrkräfte einzustellen, aber auch die individuelle Leistungsfähigkeit des Kindes zu berücksichtigen und beispielsweise Nachteilsausgleiche bei der Durchführung von Klassenarbeiten zu gewähren. Damit greift der Inklusionsbegriff wesentlicher weiter, erfasst er Schülerinnen und Schüler mit sonderpädagogischen Föderbedarfen, Migrationshintergrund oder auch beispielsweise Kinder mit Hochbegabung. Er lenkt den Blick auf die persönlichen Lernbedürfnisse des einzelnen Kindes und die durch die Gesellschaft geschaffenen Barrieren.
Seit Inkrafttreten der Konvention im März 2009 in der Bundesrepublik arbeiten die Länder mit unterschiedlicher Intensität an der Umsetzung der BRK. Noch bevor die Ressourcenfrage allerdings zu stellen ist, geht es darum, herauszufinden, welche konkreten rechtlichen Verpflichtungen aus der BRK erwachsen. Die vorliegende Arbeit geht unter dem Titel „Regel- oder Förderschule: Die Auswirkungen des artwork. 24 der UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention auf das Schul- und Elternrecht“ genau dieser Frage nach.
Im Vordergrund der Untersuchung steht dabei die Frage, ob sich aus dem in paintings. 24 BRK formulierten Recht auf Bildung subjektive Rechte ableiten lassen. Dabei wird im Verlauf der Arbeit herauszustellen sein, dass die BRK mehr ist, als eine politische Zielvereinbarung zwischen Staaten. Können sich Menschen mit Behinderung konkret auf sie beziehen und erhalten sie einen juristisch ableitbaren Schutz aus ihr? Wie wirkt sich die BRK auf bereits bestehende Normen aus? Wie stellt sich das Recht auf Bildung im internationalen Kontext dar?
