In 2020, Justice ANDERS EKA Svante O. Johansson served during the JUSTICE AND PRESIDENT OF THE spring on the Supreme Administrative SUPREME COURT Court, and Justice Erik Nymansson served during the corresponding period of time on our Court. This possibility for an exchange is valuable in many ways and also exemplifies the close coopera- tion between the Supreme Court and the Supreme Administrative Court which is a regular feature in several areas. In one article of this Activity Report, Justice Johnny Herre addresses the spe- cial procedural tools which are usually referred to by their popular names, re- ferral leave and fast-track leave. In brief, referral leave entails a possibility for the district courts and courts of appeal to get an issue which is of precedential value examined by the Supreme Court while the case is still pending before the lower court. Fast-track leave provides the Supreme Court with a possibility to grant leave to appeal for an issue which is of precedential value notwithstanding that the court of appeal has decided not to grant leave to appeal regarding the ruling of the district court. As described in the article, the background of these provisions is principally the fact that the number of civil cases which reach the Supreme Court has declined over the years. Provisions of this type improve the Court’s possibilities to provide guiding rulings also in the area of civil law.

  • The Racist Legacy in Modern Swedish Saami Policy1
    THE RACIST LEGACY IN MODERN SWEDISH SAAMI POLICY1 Roger Kvist Department of Saami Studies Umeå University S-901 87 Umeå Sweden Abstract/Resume The Swedish national state (1548-1846) did not treat the Saami any differently than the population at large. The Swedish nation state (1846- 1971) in practice created a system of institutionalized racism towards the nomadic Saami. Saami organizations managed to force the Swedish welfare state to adopt a policy of ethnic tolerance beginning in 1971. The earlier racist policy, however, left a strong anti-Saami rights legacy among the non-Saami population of the North. The increasing willingness of both the left and the right of Swedish political life to take advantage of this racist legacy, makes it unlikely that Saami self-determination will be realized within the foreseeable future. L'état suédois national (1548-1846) n'a pas traité les Saami d'une manière différente de la population générale. L'Etat de la nation suédoise (1846- 1971) a créé en pratique un système de racisme institutionnalisé vers les Saami nomades. Les organisations saamies ont réussi à obliger l'Etat- providence suédois à adopter une politique de tolérance ethnique à partir de 1971. Pourtant, la politique précédente de racisme a fait un legs fort des droits anti-saamis parmi la population non-saamie du nord. En con- séquence de l'empressement croissant de la gauche et de la droite de la vie politique suédoise de profiter de ce legs raciste, il est peu probable que l'autodétermination soit atteinte dans un avenir prévisible. 204 Roger Kvist Introduction In 1981 the Supreme Court of Sweden stated that the Saami right to reindeer herding, and adjacent rights to hunting and fishing, was a form of private property.

An armed neutrality was preserved in both world wars. Sweden's long-successful economic formula of a capitalist system intermixed with substantial welfare elements was challenged in the 1990s by high unemployment and in 2000-02 and 2009 by the global economic downturns, but fiscal discipline over the past several years has allowed the country to weather economic vagaries. Sweden joined the EU in 1995, but the public rejected the introduction of the euro in a 2003 referendum.

General Aspects of the Procedure 1.1. Phases of the Criminal Procedure The criminal process in Sweden is divided into two distinct phases: the investigative phase or preliminary investigation (förundersökning)1 and the trial (rättegång), with the indictment (åtals väckande) serving as the dividing line between these two phases. In the literature, one also comes across the term ‘preliminary enquiry’ (förutredning),2 which refers to the stage before the opening of a preliminary investigation. But the preliminary enquiry stage is not regulated by law and such intrusive measures as discussed in sections 2.4 and 2.52 below may, in principle, not be applied for the purpose of preliminary enquiry. According to c 23 s 1 para 1 of the Code of Judicial Procedure (rättegångsbalk, RB),3 a preliminary investigation shall be opened as soon as there is reason to believe that a crime sus- ceptible to public prosecution4 has been committed, either through a report or by other means. The legality principle is thus the main rule with regard to the opening of a preliminary investigation. However, the statute also provides that a preliminary investigation is not required if: • it is evident that an investigation would be futile; • the cost of an investigation would be disproportionate

Robert Dahl's classic article identified one such relation. 1 According to Dahl, "[e]xcept for short-lived transitional periods when the old alliance is disintegrating and the new one is struggling to take control of political institutions, the Supreme Court is inevitably a part of the dominant national alliance." 2 What, though, if there is no "dominant" national political alliance? Can anything systematic be said about the courts' role during transitional periods? Recent scholarship suggests that Dahl describes only one part, albeit perhaps a large one, of a more complex picture.

  • Girjas Reindeer Herding Community V. Sweden
    Arctic Review on Law and Politics Peer-reviewed article Vol. 12, 2021, pp. 56–79 Girjas Reindeer Herding Community v. Sweden: Analysing the Merits of the Girjas Case Christina Allard Luleå University of Technology, Sweden Malin Brännström Silvermuseet/The Institute for Arctic Landscape Research (INSARC) and Umeå University, Department of Law, Sweden Abstract For the first time in the Swedish Supreme Court, a small Sami reindeer herding community has won an important victory affirming the community’s small game hunting and fishing rights. Because of protracted use and the concept of immemorial prescription, the Court recognised the community’s exclusive hunting and fishing rights, including the right to lease these rights to oth- ers. Such leases have long been prohibited by legislation and the State has retained its powers to administer such leases. This case signifies a considerable development in the area of Sami law. In its decision, the Supreme Court made some adjustments to the age-old doctrine of immemorial prescription, and provided insights into how historic evidence should be evaluated when the claim- ant is an Indigenous people. A common motivator for these adjustments is an enhanced awareness of international standards protecting Indigenous peoples and minorities. Even ILO Convention No. 169 – the only legally binding convention concerning Indigenous rights, but which Sweden has not yet ratified – is relevant when it comes to evaluating Sami customary uses. The Court addressed the problem of gaps in the historical material and used evidence from other parts of Swedish Lapland and adjacent time-periods, making reasonable assumptions to fill in these gaps.

  • Summary of the Targeted Stakeholder Consultation for the 2021 Rule of Law Report. the Second Annual Rule of Law Report Continues
    Summary of the targeted stakeholder consultation for the 2021 Rule of Law Report. The second annual Rule of Law Report continues the annual monitoring cycle initiated in 2020 with the first annual Rule of Law Report. Like the report’s first edition, the 2021 Rule of Law Report presents both positive and negative developments related to the rule of law in the Member States. In its 27 country chapters, the report sets out detailed Member State-specific assessments on the four pillars covered: the justice system, the anti-corruption framework, media pluralism and media freedom, and other institutional checks and balances. With the annual Rule of Law Report, the Commission seeks to promote the rule of law and to prevent problems from emerging or deepening as identifying challenges early on will help Member States find solutions that protect the rule of law. The report is based on a close dialogue with national authorities and other stakeholders. This dialogue is not only necessary to achieve an objective and impartial assessment, it also increases the mutual understanding for the issues raised in the report and ensures the transparency of the entire process. Thus, in the preparation of the Report, the Commission has relied on a diversity of relevant sources, including input received from the Member States, virtual country visits, and stakeholder contributions. The Commission has invited stakeholders such as international organisations, national institutions and civil society organisations to provide written contributions on the state of the rule of law in the different Member States and across the European Union. For this, the Commission asked stakeholders through a targeted consultation to contribute information on the following topics: a) horizontal developments relating to rule of law, meaning trends common to several or all Member States; and b) developments in individual Member States relating to justice systems, anti-corruption framework, media pluralism, and other institutional issues related to checks and balances (i.e.
