Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Lag (2012:663) om ersättning på grund av övergrepp eller försummelser i samhällsvården av barn och unga i vissa fall tillkom för att ge ekonomisk ersättning till den som i samband med vården utsatts för övergrepp eller försummelser av allvarlig art när personen varit omhändertagen för samhällsvård, under tidsperioden den 1 januari 1920 till och med den 31 december 1980. En särskild nämnd, Ersättningsnämnden, inrättades för att under åren 2013–2016 pröva om en sökande var berättigad till schablonbeloppet om 250 000 kr. Den svenska processen har väckt uppmärksamhet bl.a. p.g.a. den stora andelen avslag och de komplexa kriterierna för ersättning. I artikeln presenteras resultaten från ett tvärvetenskapligt historiskt-rättsvetenskapligt forskningsprojekt: Gränserför upprättelse: välfärdsstatens historiska ansvar i upprättelseprocesser riktade till offer för vanvård i fosterhem och barnhem. I fokus är glappet mellan den politiska avsikten, att skapa ett rättssäkert system för en generös ersättning, och utfallet av den rättsliga processen, som innebar att majoriteten av de sökande nekades ersättning. Förklaringen, menar författarna, står åtminstone delvisatt finna i en sammanblandning av olika processformer och rättsprinciper. Detta kan relateras till en ojämn ansvarsfördelning mellan lagfarna ledamötermed expertis från allmän domstol respektive allmän förvaltningsdomstol.Framställningen tar avstamp i socialrättsligt reglerade förhållanden och spänner sedan över skadeståndsrätt, förvaltningsrätt, processrätt, barnrätt och mänskligarättigheter.

Historical justice through redress schemes? : The practice of interpreting the law and physical child abuse in Sweden

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Swedish redress scheme intended for victims of historical child abuse in out-of-home care compensated only 46% of claimants who sought economic compensation for past harms. This article explores the reasons behind this comparatively low validation rate by investigating a) how the eligibility criteria of the Redress Act were evaluated by the Redress Board; and b) the justifications and underlying values used when applications were rejected with reference to the fact that reported abuse was not deemed to be sufficiently severe according to past standards. Victim capital, which determines how vulnerable or credible a victim is perceived to be by others, as well as competence and narration, are essential aspects for this type of legal proceeding. The article demonstrates that the claimants had to traverse a complicated web of criteria to be awarded compensation. The outcomes for claimants were affected by how the past was conceptualized in this legal setting, what competences the victims themselves possessed, what competence and resources the administrative system offered, and the extent to which the decision-making process fragmented victims’ narratives.

Farliga patienter? Barns rättigheter och rättsliga ställning i den svenska patientlagen
- 2021

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- According to the Swedish Patient Act (2014:821) the patient’s autonomy and integrity is to be respected. But how is this to be understood in relation to child patients? With the Patient Act, provisions directed to child patients have come into force. That is, a provision stating the best interest of the child (PA Ch. 1, Sec. 8) and a provision stating that when the patient is a child, information should be given to the custodians as well (PA Ch. 3, Sec. 3). Also, a provision stating that the child’s view on the care and treatment in question should be clarified and taken into consideration in relation to age and maturity (PA Ch. 4, Sec. 3). This provision is complementary to a provision stating that care and treatment cannot be enforced without the consent of the patient (PA Ch. 4, Sec. 2). In the article three concepts are discussed: sufficently mature, the best interest of the child and the custodians’ decision-making power. These concepts are used in the preparatory work of the Patient Act, framing children’s rights and giving these rights meaning in relation to child patients. It is argued that these concepts give child patients both a vague and a weak legal position in the Patient Act, having negative consequences for the protection of the integrity of the child. In order to strenghten children’s rights and legal position as patients, it is suggested that the consent provision in the Patient Act also should encompass children.

Var går gränsen för statens ansvar? : Upprättelseprocessen för dem som vanvårdats i samhällsvård ur ett historiskt perspektiv på normalitet, aga och barns rättigheter : [What is the limit of state responsibility?

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, we study the legislative processes that formed the basis for how the state’s role and responsibility to protect and represent children was formulated during the 20th century based on legislative initiatives against corporal punishment. This is the backdrop for an analysis of the scheme to compensate adults that have claimed that they as children had been abused in the care of the state. As a basis for our analyzes, we have used laws and statutes, ordinances, and preparatory works in family and criminal law as well as school and social law. In the process that led up to the compensation scheme a choice was made; child abuse in the past would not be defined according to the norms set by past legislation and government ordinances to protect children from abuse, but in relation to what was believed to be common child-rearing practices. The focus shifted to current understandings of what was normal in the past as well as to how similar abuse would be treated in legal practice in current tort cases disregarding the explicit stands taken by past governments to protect children in care. The opportunity for reconciliation decreased with this development.

Banning God’s law in the name of the Holy body : The Nordic position on ritual male circumcision
- 2011

Ingår i: The Family in Law. - Hod HaSharon : Sha'arei Mishpat College. ; 5, s. 35-53
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article investigates the legal initiatives regarding ritual male circumcision in the Nordic states. National laws are discussed in relation to human rights according to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and in the European Convention on the Fundamental Rights and Freedom, i.e. right to freedom of religion, the rights and best interests of the child, gender equality, and protection of national minorities in Europe. It is suggested that the principle of the best interests of the child is interpreted in the light of what is looked upon as a "normal" childhood. Normality in the Nordic states vis-à-vis religion and childhood is construed in the light of a long tradition of religious Protestant homogeneity that is presently being challenged due to immigration, in the wake of which a number of legal principles, religious rites, and religiously inspired traditions, including ritual male circumcision, are being re-negotiated at different levels in the civil society and by different actors, all claiming agency for the child.
