Chapter 12 · A secular state and a multi-religious country
En handläggare och en sökande har samma religion. Hur ska handläggaren bedöma ansökan?
A case officer and an applicant share a religion. How should the officer assess the application?
Correct answer: Use the same objective criteria as for others
Public authorities must act objectively and impartially. A shared religion must lead neither to an advantage nor to a stricter assessment.
Key words
opartisk · impartial

Why this option does not fit
Prioritera sökanden för att stärka förtroendet
Trust should come from fair handling, not religious preference.
Bedöma sökanden hårdare för att visa neutralitet
A stricter assessment because of religion is not impartial.
Låta samfundets rekommendation avgöra bedömningen
A religious recommendation cannot replace objective rules for the case.
