Swedish Ombudsman

The Swedish Ombudsman, or "Justitieombudsmannen" (JO), is an independent official responsible for overseeing government agencies and officials to ensure they follow the law and uphold citizens' rights. They investigate complaints from the public about government misconduct, abuse of power, or negligence. The Ombudsman does not have the power to punish but can issue recommendations, highlight issues, and promote accountability. Their role helps maintain transparency within government operations and protects individuals from injustice or unfair treatment by authorities.
