Chapter 11 · Sweden and the wider world
En person vill klaga på Sverige till Europadomstolen. Vad måste personen normalt först ha gjort?
Someone wants to bring a complaint against Sweden to the European Court of Human Rights (Europadomstolen). What must they normally have done first?
Correct answer: Used the effective legal remedies available in Sweden
The European Court of Human Rights is not the first step in Swedish proceedings. Effective domestic remedies must normally be used first; other requirements, including the application deadline, also apply.
