Follow-up and evaluation

The plan requires that the child's best interest comes first and that the justice system is organized so that it does not reproduce structural racism, and that the professional groups allowed to exercise violence can be scrutinized independently. An evaluation of the law's consequences for individuals, of the risk of discriminatory application and of the effects on children directly addresses these commitments. The committee's reasons that an evaluation is not needed are not affected by the plan.

• child's best interest firstdecisive»Vänsterpartiets politik ska utformas så att barnens bästa kommer i första rummet.« (party programme ↗)“The Left Party's policy must be designed so that the child's best interest comes first.”
• justice system must not reproduce racism»reproducerar den strukturella rasismen i deras konkreta verksamhet.« (party programme ↗)“reproduces structural racism in their concrete activities.”
• independent oversight of police»oberoende system för att granska de yrkesgrupper, till exempel polisen« (party programme ↗)“independent system to scrutinize the professional groups, for example police,”
• risk of discriminatory application»Många unga, särskilt med utländsk bakgrund, som bor i fattiga områden, utsätts även för rasism och övervåld från polisen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Many young people, especially with foreign background, living in poor areas, are also subjected to racism and excessive force from police”

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 plan says nothing about evaluation of this particular law, but it binds itself to the best interest of children and the Convention on the Rights of the Child governing decisions and to authorities being objective and impartial. The counter-proposal's requirement for continuous evaluation, with particular attention to children and the risk of discriminatory application, follows from these principles. The plan's goal of stopping recruitment of young people additionally makes it important to monitor how the measure affects children.

• the convention governs decisionsdecisive»Alla barn ska ha rätt till en trygg uppväxt i enlighet med FN:s barnkonvention.« (party programme ↗)“All children shall have the right to a safe upbringing in accordance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.”
• non-discriminatory application»beakta allas likhet inför lagen och iaktta saklighet och opartiskhet.« (party programme ↗)“consider everyone's equality before the law and observe objectivity and impartiality.”
• stopped recruitment of young people»Ingen ung ska bli kriminell. Nyrekryteringen måste stoppas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“No young person shall become criminal. Recruitment of new offenders must be stopped.”

The party programme requires that political decisions be preceded by a child impact analysis and that all discrimination be countered, and opposes laws with disproportionate inroads into privacy. A law that restricts freedom of movement and can have discriminatory effects and impact children's daily life is therefore directly covered by the plan's requirement for follow-up of consequences for individuals. That the law be evaluated after one year and thereafter continuously is supported in substance.

• child impact analysis of decisionsdecisive»beslut bör föregås av en barnkonsekvensanalys.« (party programme ↗)“decisions should be preceded by a child impact analysis.”
• counter discrimination»All diskriminering ska motverkas.« (party programme ↗)“All discrimination shall be countered.”
• against disproportionate inroads»alla lagar som innebär oproportionerliga ingrepp i« (party programme ↗)“all laws that entail disproportionate inroads into”

The party programme requires that all legislation be tested against its impact on personal integrity, which argues for follow-up of a new mandatory law and its consequences for individuals. The election manifesto also wants to do more against discrimination, and the party programme raises every child's right to be seen and respected. An evaluation with focus on discriminatory application and the child's best interests thus follows from the plan. However, the plan's requirement of this says nothing about the committee's assessment that a special assignment is not needed now.

• integrity assessment of legislationweak support»All lagstiftning bör prövas mot dess påverkan på människors personliga integritet.« (party programme ↗)“All legislation should be tested against its impact on people's personal integrity.”
• combat discriminationdecisive»Mer måste göras mot diskriminering.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“More must be done against discrimination.”
• the child's right and best interests»Särskilt viktigt är att värna varje barns rätt att bli respekterad och att bli sedd för den man är.« (party programme ↗)“Especially important is to protect every child's right to be respected and to be seen for who they are.”
• the rule of law is defended»Rättsstaten och individens rättigheter gentemot staten måste försvaras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The rule of law and the individual's rights against the state must be defended.”

The party programme requires that laws already introduced with strong impact on personal integrity be regularly evaluated and that all new legislative proposals be analysed from an integrity perspective. The counter-proposal's demand for evaluation of the residential ban law one year after entry into force and thereafter ongoing, with regard to the risk of discriminatory application, is precisely such follow-up. The plan therefore supports the demand, regardless of the fact that the party in substance wants to be able to use residential bans.

• regular evaluation of integrity lawsdecisive»påverkan på den personliga integriteten ska regelbundet utvärderas.« (party programme ↗)“impact on personal integrity be regularly evaluated.”

The plan makes evaluation and quality control an important political task and requires that the best interests of the child come first in decisions concerning children. The counter-proposal requires that the law be evaluated continuously with regard to consequences for individuals, risk of discriminatory application and children's everyday life. This follows from the plan's requirements for clear legislation and protection of fundamental rights.

• evaluation is a political taskdecisive»Utvärdering, kostnadsuppföljning och kvalitetskontroll är därför viktiga politiska« (party programme ↗)“Evaluation, cost monitoring and quality control are therefore important political”

The plan is based on a reform method with constant readiness to evaluate and reconsider what has been implemented, and requires that public authority is governed by law and that personal integrity is protected. An evaluation of the law after it comes into force does not conflict with the plan's substantive support for residence bans but follows from these commitments. Since the plan does not comment on the follow-up of this law specifically, the conclusion is derived.

• evaluate implemented reformsdecisive»beredskap för att utvärdera, ompröva, förändra och förbättra« (party programme ↗)“readiness to evaluate, reconsider, change and improve”
• equal treatment and predictability»All offentlig maktutövning ska vara lagstyrd och vägledas av« (party programme ↗)“All public authority shall be governed by law and guided by”
• protected personal integrity»Den personliga integriteten ska värnas, såväl från intrång« (party programme ↗)“Personal integrity shall be protected, as well as against infringement”
• support for residence bans»Införa vistelseförbud för personer som dömts för våld i nära relation, så att den som utsatt sin tidigare partner för våld och övergrepp kan förbjudas att vara i ett visst bostadsområde även efter att ha släppts ur fängelset« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce residence bans for persons convicted of domestic violence, so that someone who has subjected their former partner to violence and abuse can be prohibited from being in a certain residential area even after release from prison”

The plan requires clear results for every public initiative and strengthened accountability, which speaks for a new and far-reaching law to be followed up and evaluated. The plan also establishes that the child's best interests must always be considered and that citizens should be equal before the law, which addresses the counter-proposal's concerns about children and discriminatory application. An evaluation does not restrict the tool in substance.

• performance requirements for reformsdecisive»Begära tydliga resultat för varje offentlig satsning« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Demand clear results for every public initiative”
• strengthened accountability»Sverigedemokraterna vill stärka möjligheter för ansvarsutkrävande när hanteringen av de offentliga resurserna brister.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats want to strengthen opportunities for accountability when the handling of public resources falls short.”

• equality before the law»Sverigedemokraterna slår vakt om alla människors jämlikhet i den svenska kulturen och lagen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats stand guard over all people's equality in Swedish culture and law.”
