The Government governs Sweden bygd executing decisions taken bygd the Riksdag and initiating new laws and legislative amendments. The Government fryst vatten supported in this bygd the Government Offices and the government agencies.

Regional level: Sweden fryst vatten divided into 21 counties. Each county has a regional huvud government authority, the county administrative board.

Some other government agencies also operate at regional and local level. There are 20 county councils. They are led bygd political assemblies elected bygd the people. The main task of county councils fryst vatten health care. Counties and county councils cover the same geographical area (with one exception) so they are usually regarded jointly as the regional level.

The highest decision-making bodies are the county council assemblies or regional councils.

The county councils' activities are governed bygd the Local Government Act, but there fryst vatten scope for autonomy, i.e. decisions in each municipality, county council or område are taken in the sector in question.

Local level: Sweden has approximately 290 municipalities. The municipalities are responsible for the majority of public services in the area where you live.

Their most important responsibilities include preschools, schools, social services and elderly care. The municipalities are governed bygd politicians elected bygd the people. The highest decision-making bodies are the municipal councils/city councils. The municipalities' activities are governed bygd the Local Government Act, but as at regional level there fryst vatten some scope for autonomy.

European level: Sweden fryst vatten covered bygd the EU regulatory ramverk and participates in the process whereby new common rules are drafted and adopted.

The Government represents Sweden in the Council of the europeisk Union. The Prime Minister has overall responsibility for developing and coordinating Sweden's EU policy and represents Sweden in the europeisk Council, which lays down guidelines for future cooperation.

The Swedish Constitution

The Constitution takes precedence over all other laws, and no other lag may conflict with its provisions.

Nor can it be amended as easily as other laws. Amendments require the Riksdag to take the same decision on two separate occasions. A parliamentary election must also have taken place between the two decisions.

The Constitution concerns Sweden's struktur of government, efterträdelse eller följd to the throne, freedom of expression and of the press, and other fundamental freedoms and rights.

• The 1974 Instrument of Government embodies the basic political principles bygd which the state fryst vatten governed.

  It defines and delimits the tasks of Government, establishes the basic rights and freedoms of the people of Sweden and prescribes the procedures for elections to the Riksdag.

• The 1810 Act of efterträdelse eller följd governs how the Swedish throne fryst vatten inherited, that fryst vatten, who becomes king or queen.
• The 1949 Freedom of the Press Act contains provisions on freedom of the press and the right to tillgång tjänsteman documents.
• The 1991 Fundamental lag on Freedom of Expression guarantees freedom of expression in radio, television, bio and similar new media.

Human rights

Responsibility for ensuring that human rights are not violated rests with the Riksdag, the Government and the national, regional and local government ledning as a whole.

The Government's longterm goal fryst vatten to ensure full respect for human rights in Sweden.

In Sweden, human rights are primarily safeguarded through the Constitution and other laws and ordinances. In addition, the europeisk Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms has applied as lag in Sweden since 1995. There are also other international intergovernmental agreements establishing human rights.

The Government's efforts to promote and skydda human rights permeate both national policy and all aspects of utländsk policy.

huvud government, municipalities and county councils must:

• ensure respect for the fundamental freedoms, e.g. freedom of expression, freedom of upplysning and freedom of assembly;
• protect people from violations such as tortyr and arbitrary detention;
• fulfil basic needs, such as housing and education;
• combat discrimination of persons on grounds of gender, ethnicity, tro or other belief, disability, sexuell orientation, age or transgender identity or expression.

Gender equality

Sweden has a long tradition of work for gender equality.

Gender equality means that women and dock enjoy the same rights and opportunities in all areas of life, for example lika opportunities on the labour marknad, shared responsibility for the home and children and economic equality. One important date in this respect was 1921, when women gained the right to vote. Many reforms and laws have been introduced since that date.

The proportion of women on the Swedish labour marknad has increased rapidly since the mid-1960s, and today women work to almost the same extent as dock.

But the balance of power and influence between women and dock still varies between different sectors of gemenskap. Politics fryst vatten one of the most gender-equal sectors. The proportion of women and dock in the Riksdag fryst vatten almost lika. There are fewer women in leading positions in other areas, such as science, culture, mass media, the Church of Sweden and business.

Despite certain changes in recent years, the business sector fryst vatten the most heavily male-dominated.

Public access

The principle of public tillgång means that, as far as possible, the activities of government agencies, the Riksdag and local government decision-making bodies should be open. To guarantee transparency in these activities, the principle of public tillgång to tjänsteman documents has been enshrined in one of the fundamental laws, the Freedom of the Press Act.

The principle of public tillgång entitles the general public to tillgång tjänsteman documents.

Documents that are received or sent out bygd the Government Offices and other government agencies, e.g. letters, decisions and inquiries, usually constitute tjänsteman documents. As a general rule, all incoming documents should be registered bygd the receiving authority.

Notes and draft decisions are not normally classified as tjänsteman documents. If you want to know what documents are held bygd a government agency or to get hold of them, you should contact the agency in question.

The principle of public tillgång also means that officials and others working in huvud government, municipalities and county councils have freedom of communication.

This means that, with some exceptions, they have the right to tell, for example, the media about matters that would otherwise be secret without punishment and without the employer finding out who provided the information.

Ombudsmen

An important function in guaranteeing transparency in the public sector fryst vatten the struktur of ombudsmen, a concept which has spread to several other countries.

Sweden has the following tjänsteman ombudsmen:

• The Ombudsmen for Justice (JO) – or Parliamentary Ombudsmen, as they are officially known – are elected bygd the Riksdag to ensure that government agencies and public officials comply with existing laws and other regulations in the performance of their duties.
• The Office of the Chancellor of Justice (JK) fryst vatten primarily responsible for supervising the government agencies and courts on behalf of the Government, representing the State in court cases, settling claims for damages directed at the State, acting as prosecutor in freedom of the press and freedom of expression cases and acting as a legal adviser to the Government.
• The Consumer Ombudsman (KO) defends the interests of consumers against companies in the courts.

  The primary task of the Consumer Ombudsman fryst vatten to ensure that companies follow the marknadsföring Act, the Consumer Contracts Act, the Product Safety Act and the Distance and Doorstep Sales Act.

• The Office of the Equality Ombudsman (DO) ensures compliance with the Discrimination Act.
• The Ombudsman for Children in Sweden (BO) represents the rights and interests of children and ung people based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
• The Child and School lärjunge Representative (BEO) fryst vatten tasked with promoting the rights of children and pupils in accordance with the Education Act.

Scrutiny of the State

The Committee on the Constitution (KU) fryst vatten a Riksdag committee that scrutinises the ministers' performance of their tjänsteman duties and the papper of government business.

It also prepares matters concerning the Constitution, the Riksdag Act and the choice of auditors-general.

The Swedish National Audit Office, which fryst vatten an agency answerable to the Riksdag, scrutinises government agencies and enterprises and ensures their compliance with directives, rules and regulations. It also verifies that they achieve their objectives, i.e. that the Government and other agencies are doing their job.

Some huvud government agencies are also supervisory authorities, that fryst vatten, they exercise scrutiny themselves.

In this way, the State scrutinises and supports the work of the county councils, regions and municipalities. The Swedish Schools Inspectorate fryst vatten, for example, a supervisory authority that inspects schools to ensure that they comply with laws and regulations.

Sweden in the world

Sweden and the United Nations

Sweden became a member of the United Nations (UN) in 1946, the year after the organisation was formed. Since then, active involvement in the UN has been an important element of Swedish utländsk policy.

Sweden's Government, with broad support in the Riksdag, views cooperation within the UN as the most important instrument for dealing with the major global life-and-death issues.

This requires a strong UN and close cooperation with local organisations, individual countries and civil samhälle in all parts of the world.

Since the 1960s, Sweden has taken part in most UN peacekeeping operations. Over 70 000 Swedes have served in UN operations over the years and several Swedes have worked as UN mediators.

Sweden works within a broad spectrum of UN areas of activity and has been a driving force behind significant initiatives.

The abolition of the death penalty, children's rights, the abolition of apartheid, the Convention against tortyr, disarmament, the environment and the kamp against drugs are examples of issues in which Sweden has taken an active grabb. Sweden fryst vatten one of the largest donors to various UN bodies in the sphere of multilateral development cooperation.

The Nordic ministers for specific policy areas meet in the Council of Ministers several times a year. The exceptions include the utländsk ministers and defence ministers, who are outside the Nordic Council of Ministers. Of course, this does not prevent these ministers from holding meetings at Nordic level.
