	Boston.com / News / World / Europe / Sweden politician's killer sentenced
		Sweden's Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the man convicted of murdering Foreign Minister Anna Lindh will serve his sentence in prison rather than in psychiatric care, reversing a contentious decision by a lower court.
		An appeals court had ruled earlier this year that Mijailovic should be confined to a mental hospital for the Sept. 10, 2003, stabbing of Lindh -- one of Sweden's most popular politicians -- as she shopped unguarded.
		The Supreme Court -- after hearing conflicting opinion from six medical experts -- said it was clear Mijailovic had a history of mental illness, but that it was not serious enough to bar him from prison.

		Although the lower courts in Sweden ordered the child’s return to the United States, the Regeringsratten found that Sweden had become the child’s place of habitual residence, stating that a determination of habitual residence is a finding of fact that cannot be legally agreed upon in advance.
		Swedish courts appear reluctant even to consider permitting access in the United States, in spite of the fact that judicial arrangements could be made in the United States to help ensure the return of a child to Sweden.
		The appellate Court is the Court of Appeal whose judgment can be appealed to the Supreme Court, provided that the latter gives leave to appeal, which is done only in cases of precedential value.

	Capri Marine Ltd. V. Chief State Prosecutor - Science - RedOrbit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		In considering the question of Sweden's jurisdiction-as a matter of international law-to impose the pollution fees, the Supreme Court noted that, under Article 217(4) of the LOS Convention, it is the flag state that initially has the responsibility for investigating violations by its vessels and, if appropriate, for instituting proceedings.
		The Court also noted, however, that under Article 220, it is possible for a coastal state-albeit with due regard to the basic right to free navigation-to act against a foreign vessel for a violation in the EEZ causing or threatening significant environmental damage.
		According to the Court, the law's requirement of charging the owner or operator of the ship- instead of charging the person who is actually responsible for the discharge-supports the conclusion that actual contact with, and inspection or detention of, the vessel in the EEZ is not necessary for imposing a water pollution fee.

		The superior court has ordered the return of a minor child, Robert Csanad Csoka-Robson, to his natural father (real party in interest) pursuant to a judgment which has been considered and left standing by the Supreme Court of Sweden.
		We also find that she has an adequate legal forum in the Swedish courts and that is where any further proceedings in this matter should be presently resolved, since it is clear that the child was wrongfully removed from Sweden, which is that country "in which [he] was habitually resident immediately before the removal.
		It could be argued that since the Court of Appeal had specifically asked that this issue be addressed and then (without deciding this point) used the specific provisions of CCP 917.7 to eliminate the stay, that the requirements of CCP 917.7 apply even when the matter is an action under The Convention.
