The Sami for that reason demands a further apology because redress has not been achieved and reconciliation between the Sami and the state not fulfilled. A comparative study of the two examples will be analyzed and the differences addressed. This to come up to why the Swedish apology went wrong compared to the Australian and to distinguish whether the Sami has been just as wrongfully
treated as the Australian. This became a bit of a struggle because how can you measure human rights violations when there isn´t any laws or rules regarding if a government should apologize or not? (Less)
