Saamelaiskäräjät: Ruotsi

Ruotsissa saamelaisten asema alkuperäiskansana ei ole yhtä vahva kuin Suomessa ja Norjassa, ja kesti aina vuoteen 1993, ennen kuin saamelaiskäräjät perustettiin. Saamelaisia ei tunnusteta alkuperäiskansaksi perustuslain tasolla, vaan Ruotsin hallitusmuodon 1 luvun 2 §:ssä säädetään yleisesti etnisten, kielellisten ja uskonnollisten vähemmistöjen oikeudesta säilyttää ja kehittää omaa kulttuuri- ja yhteiskuntelämäänsä. Saamelaisia tai alkuperäiskansoja hallitusmuoto ei mainitse. Ruotsissa oikeusasemaa on pohdittu myös monessa komiteassa, kuten 1989 loppumietintönsä antaneessa Samerättsutredningen-nimisessä komiteassa. Mietinnössään komitea ehdotti muun muassa, että hallitusmuotoon otettaisin maininta saamelaisten oikeusasemasta alkuperäiskansana. Ruotsin hallitus kuitenkin torjui ajatuksen. Ruotsissa saamelaisten ja valtion väliset kiistat ratkottiin muun muassa ns. verotunturioikeudenkäynnissä (Skattefjällsmålet). Verotunturioikeudenkäynnissä oli kyse saamelaisalueen maanomistusoikeudesta. Tätä kiistaa käsiteltiin eri oikeusasteissa viidentoista vuoden ajan. Ruotsin korkeimman oikeuden lopullinen päätös oli saamelaisille pettymys. Tuomion mukaan saamelaisilla ei ole omistusoikeutta maahan tai veteen oikeudenkäynnin kohteena olevalla alueella. Kuitenkin oikeuden päätöksessä katsotaan, että poronhoitajilla on vahva käyttöoikeus alueella, jossa poronhoitoa on perinteisesti harjoitettu. Tämän verotunturioikeudenkäynnin jälkeen ryhdyttiin vihdoin pohtimaan edustuksellisen elimen tarpeellisuutta. Laki saamelaiskäräjistä astui voimaan kansainvälisenä alkuperäiskansojen vuonna 1993. Saamelaiskäräjien perustaminen oli saamelaisoikeusselvityksen (Samerättsutredningen) tärkein ehdotus (SOU 1989:41). Saamelaiskäräjälain mukaan (SFS 1992:1433) käräjät on viranomainen, jonka tulee vaikuttaa saamelaiskulttuurin säilymiseen ja siten tehdä sellaisia aloitteita ja ehdottaa sellaisia toimenpiteitä, jotka edistävät saamelaiskulttuuria. Saamelaiskäräjät on myös valtionviranomainen, jolle on kuitenkin annettu vapaus kehittää saamelaiskäräjinä omat työmuotonsa. Saamelaiskäräjien tehtävänä on valvoa ja edistää saamelaisten elinkeinollisia, taloudellisia, sivistyksellisiä ja kulttuurisia oikeuksia sekä tiedottaa saamelaisten asioista. Konkreettisempi tehtävä on jakaa kulttuurimäärärahoja eri kulttuuritahoille ja järjestöille saamelaisten yhteisiä tarpeita varten, nimittää saamelaiskoulun hallitus sekä johtaa saamen kielen työtä. Saamelaiskäräjillä on 31 jäsentä. Käräjät valitsee keskuudestaan päätoimisen puheenjohtajan sekä hallituksen, johon kuuluu enintään seitsemän jäsentä. Näiden joukosta valitaan hallituksen puheenjohtaja. Hallitus nimittää kuusijäsenisen kielineuvoston. Sihteeristö toimii Kiirunassa.

Saami Parliament: Sweden

The Saami Parliament in Sweden started its activities in 1993.

The situation of the Saami people as an indigenous people is not as strong as in Finland and Norway, and that s why the establishment of its own elected Saami body was the most important goal of the Saami issues in Sweden.

The constitution of Sweden does not recognise the Saami in Sweden as an indigenous people, although Ch.1 §2 of the Constitution Act of Sweden contains general provisions for the right of ethnic, linguistic and religious minorities to safeguard and develop their own cultural and social life.The Constitution Act makes no mention of the Saami or of indigenous peoples. The legal status of the Saami in Sweden has been dealt with since the end of 1970s in numerous advisory committees, one of which was set up 1982. The Commission completed a report called the Saami Rights Report. This report was published in three parts during the period 1986 to 1990.The first part of the report, on the Saami s position in relation to international law, was published in the spring of 1986. The second part, concerned with the Saami laws and the Saami parliament, was published in June 1989. The last part, on the Saami language was published in 1990.

The committee proposed that a mention of the legal status of the Saami as an indigenous people be included in the Constitution Act. This was, however, rejected by the Swedish government. The so-called Tax Fell Case (Skattefjällsmålet) dealt with a dispute between the Saami people and the Swedish state over land ownership rights.

After it was passed by the Swedish Parliament in 1992.

The establishment of a Saami Parliament was the most important proposal of the Saami Rights Report (Samerätttsudredningen; SOU 1989:41).

Its tasks include the distribution of cultural grants to various cultural bodies and associations in accordance with the common needs of the Saami people, the nomination of the Board of Governors of the Saami School, and the direction of measures to promote the Saami language.

The Saami Parliament has 31 members, from among whom it appoints a full-time President and a Board/Government consisting of a maximum of seven members. The members of the Board elect a chairman from among their number. The Secretariat is located in Kiruna.

The Saami Parliament in Sweden represents a central element in the development of indigenous dimension in Swedish democracy. The beginning of the Parliament has been a little difficult politically, and its future will to a great extent depend on whether the Swedish authorities are willing to give the same degree of development as has been witnessed in Norway and Finland.
