The Swedish Parliamentary Ombudsman 1970-1990 : A Persistent Particularity Over the past twenty years, the Ombudsman’s role has been very much debated in Sweden. Without questioning the underlying long-accepted organizational and operating principles of this institution, two areas are being reconsidered : the type of control exercised by the Ombudsman and its operating conditions. More specifically, what sort of activities should be privileged : investigating complaints or carrying out inspections ? The Parliament has debated about two points regarding the conditions for exercising control. First, the collegial structure of the institution and, secondly, the question of referral to criminal courts for administration.
