E/CN.4/1991/56 page 47 Swaziland In its general reply to the questionnaire, the Government of Swaziland has indicated that there were no administrative bodies that play a role in the protection of freedom of religion and belief. "The Swedish Penal Code contains regulations which serve to sanction the protection against persecution or discrimination on the grounds of religion or belief. In short, the stipulations imply the following: according to Chapter 16, Section 4 of the Penal Code, a person can be sentenced for disturbing or trying to interfere with a public religious service or other public devotional exercises. This stipulation does not only cover the services of the Church of Sweden, but also comparable public meetings of other religious denominations. If a person publicly or otherwise in a statement or another communication threatens or expresses contempt for an ethnic group or other such group of persons with allusion to race, skin colour, national or ethnic origin or religious creed, he or she shall be sentenced for agitation against ethnic groups (Penal Code, Chapter 16, Section 8 ) . If a businessman in the conduct of his or her business discriminates against someone on the ground of his or her race, skin colour, national or ethnic origin or religious creed by refusing to deal with him or her under the same conditions as the businessman applies to others in the conduct of his or her business, he or she shall be sentenced for unlawful discrimination. The same applies to organizers of public assembly or entertainment (Penal Code, Chapter 16, Section 9 ) . Violations of these provisions are sanctioned through criminal procedures. In terms of public activity there are additional institutions of control. Public power shall according to the Constitution be exercised with respect for the equal worth of all human beings and for the freedom and dignity of the individual. An official in public service that violates someone by disregarding his or her rights and freedoms can subjected to disciplinary actions by the public employer. The Parliamentary Ombudsman (JO) and the Chancellor of Justice (JK) may call attention to violations by public servants of rights and freedoms protected by the Constitution. In some cases even criminal prosecution may be initiated. An Ombudsman Against Ethnic Discrimination (DO) was established through the Act to Counteract Ethnic Discrimination (1986). The Ombudsman's duties are concerned with matters of both individual and general nature. (For more information see the above mentioned memorandum)."
