Abstract
National authorities are sometimes expected to implement acts of the Security Council. This may cause questions concerning applicability of human rights regulation. On a regional level such questions have already been brought to the European Court of Human Rights and the European Court of Justice. On a national level, the Swedish fundamental laws are in principle applicable to all acts of Swedish authorities. Authorities should therefore set aside acts of the Security Council that are incompatible with rights protected by the fundamental laws. This is the case even when authorities act outside of Swedish territory. However, the fundamental laws were not created primarily with international situations in mind. Therefore, it may be necessary to adapt the interpretation of the laws in such situations.
