Competence supply and child perspective

The plan highlights stronger rights for children as one of the progressive movement's greatest achievements and demands that public agencies treat all people with equal respect and that assessments take place in dignified circumstances. The counter-proposal's demand that the detention facility's competence supply meets needs and that the child perspective is considered follows from these commitments. The election manifesto furthermore points out the harshness of migration policy toward an already vulnerable group.

• children's rights are strengtheneddecisive»Utvecklingen mot starkare rättigheter för barn är en av de progressiva« (party programme ↗)“The development toward stronger rights for children is one of the progressive”
• dignified circumstances»sin rätt till en individuell och rättssäker prövning under värdiga« (party programme ↗)“his or her right to an individual and legally secure assessment in dignified”
• agencies' responsibility to treat people respectfully»Myndigheter har ett särskilt ansvar att möta alla människor« (party programme ↗)“Public agencies have a special responsibility to treat all people”
• against inhumane migration policy»Vänsterpartiet anser att den inhumana flyktingpolitik som råder, med tillfälliga och villkorade uppehållstillstånd, är en form av psykologiskt våld mot en redan utsatt grupp.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Left Party considers the inhumane refugee policy prevailing, with temporary and conditional residence permits, to be a form of psychological violence against an already vulnerable group.”

The plan places on the state a responsibility to secure competence supply in the activities society runs, and requires that the rule-of-law principles and civil liberties and rights are upheld especially when individuals are in a weaker position than authorities. That follow-up of custody operations ensures sufficient staffing and that the needs of children and other vulnerable people are considered is in line with this. The counter-proposal's demands do not contradict any commitment in the plan.

• state responsibility for competence supplydecisive»Staten har ett ansvar för att säkra kompetensförsörjningen, inte minst i välfärden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The state has a responsibility to secure competence supply, not least in welfare.”
• civil liberties and rights»Skydd för medborgerliga fri- och rättigheter.« (party programme ↗)“Protection of civil liberties and rights.”
• rule-of-law principles»Slå vakt om rättsstatens principer.« (party programme ↗)“Uphold the principles of the rule of law.”

The plan requires that the child perspective must permeate the migration laws and that reception and examination are handled by staff with appropriate expertise, especially for vulnerable groups. The Convention on the Rights of the Child is law and the best interests of the child must be decisive in decisions concerning children. The counter-proposal's requirement that the follow-up of detention activities ensures competence supply and considers children and other vulnerable persons is therefore in line with the plan. The requirement is supported.

• child perspective in migrationdecisive»Barnperspektivet ska genomsyra migrationslagarna« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The child perspective must permeate the migration laws”

The plan establishes that society's actors must take the perspective of the individual and that children's rights carry the most weight, and that every child's right to be respected must be protected. A detention facility with shortcomings in treatment and physical environment, especially where children are involved, therefore requires the follow-up on competence provision and child perspective that the counter-proposal demands. The plan also stands for a humane migration policy and legally secure government administration.

• child perspective in government administrationdecisive»Samhällets aktörer ska inta individens perspektiv. Av största betydelse är då barnens rättigheter och perspektiv.« (party programme ↗)“Society's actors must take the perspective of the individual. Of paramount importance are then children's rights and perspective.”

• humane migration policy»Centerpartiet strävar efter öppna gränser, fri rörlighet samt en generös och human flykting- och invandringspolitik.« (party programme ↗)“The Centre Party strives for open borders, freedom of movement, and a generous and humane refugee and immigration policy.”
• legally secure government administration»Ledtiderna för handläggning och myndighetsutövning i domstolar och myndigheter måste kortas och tillgången till ombud förbättras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Processing times for government administration in courts and agencies must be shortened and access to representatives must be improved.”

The plan establishes that the Convention on the Rights of the Child is Swedish law and that unaccompanied children shall be especially protected, and that no one shall be subjected to harmful or degrading treatment during expulsion and deportation. Inadequate competence supply in expulsion enforcement increases precisely the risk of such treatment. The plan also wants to strengthen oversight of the exercise of authority by government agencies over individuals.

• dignified treatment during enforcementdecisive»Ingen ska utsättas för skadlig eller förnedrande behandling under avvisning eller utvisning.« (party programme ↗)“No one shall be subjected to harmful or degrading treatment during expulsion or deportation.”
• children especially protected»Särskild hänsyn ska tas till barns egna asylskäl, och ensamkommande barn ska särskilt värnas.« (party programme ↗)“Special consideration shall be given to children's own asylum grounds, and unaccompanied children shall be specially protected.”
• Convention on the Rights of the Child as law»Genom att FN:s barnkonvention införlivats i svensk lag tydliggörs barns och ungas rättigheter.« (party programme ↗)“By incorporating the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into Swedish law, the rights of children and young people are clarified.”
• strengthened oversight of government agencies»Tillsynen över myndigheternas maktutövning mot enskilda behöver utvecklas genom starka tillsynsmyndigheter för bland annat polis, kriminalvård och socialtjänst.« (party programme ↗)“Oversight of the exercise of authority by government agencies over individuals must be developed through strong supervisory authorities for, among others, police, prison services and social services.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The party programme requires that the child perspective is always present in migration matters and that the child's best interest comes first. The counter-proposal's requirement that follow-up of detention operations ensures competence supply and child perspective follows from this. The plan moreover requires adequate resources for lawful and effective handling, which directly addresses the training debt and incident risks.

• the child's best interest comes first»FN:s barnkonvention stadgar att barnets bästa ska komma i främsta rummet.« (party programme ↗)“The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child states that the child's best interest shall come first.”
• adequate resources for lawfulness»Resurser för mottagande av flyktingar och för utredning av deras situation ska vara tillräckliga för att åstadkomma korta handläggningstider, rättssäkerhet och effektiv hantering.« (party programme ↗)“Resources for receiving refugees and for investigating their situation shall be adequate to achieve short processing times, lawfulness and effective handling.”
• lawfulness in asylum process»För den som söker asyl i Sverige måste hela processen vara utformad så att rättssäkerhet garanteras den enskilde.« (party programme ↗)“For the person seeking asylum in Sweden, the entire process must be designed so that lawfulness is guaranteed to the individual.”

The plan does not address detention activity staffing, but it requires that the state fulfils its basic mission and that those rejected quickly leave the country — which presumes detention activity with sufficient competence. Ensuring competence supply and drawing attention to children's situation does not go against any commitment in the plan. The requirement therefore aligns with the plan's demand for functioning exercise of state authority.

• effective enforcementdecisive»Av största vikt är att den som fått ett nej på asylansökan så fort som möjligt lämnar landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Of greatest importance is that those who received a no on their asylum application leave the country as quickly as possible.”

The plan builds its entire migration policy on functional detention and return work and wants to expand access to prison and detention places, which requires that personnel supply is sufficient. The counter-proposal's requirement that follow-up ensures competence supply and that the child's perspective is considered does not conflict with the plan but supports its implementation. The plan also states that the child's best interest should always be considered.

• expanded detention capacitydecisive»Utöka tillgången på anstaltsplatser i och utanför Sverige« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Expand access to prison places in and outside Sweden”
• functioning return work»Bekämpa skuggsamhället och illegal migration med fler kontroller och fler utvisningar« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Combat the shadow economy and illegal immigration with more inspections and more deportations”
• the child's best interest»Att barnets bästa alltid ska beaktas« (2022 manifesto ↗)“That the child's best interest should always be considered”
