- Abstract (Swedish)
- Personlig integritet är en grundläggande del av den mänskliga värdigheten,
något skyddsvärt. Det framgår av såväl regeringsformen som av den
europeiska konventionen till skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna (EKMR).
Trots det finns det ingen entydig uppfattning av vad som ska anses omfattas
av skyddet för den personliga integriteten. Staten har tämligen långtgående
skyldighet att skydda enskildas rätt till personlig integritet. Även aktivt
handlande kan bli aktuellt för att uppfylla dessa. Europadomstolen har i sin
dömande verksamhet utpekat en rad intressen och situationer som
skyddsvärda. Den svenska lagstiftningen har kontinuerligt anpassats efter det
rådande rättsläget.

skyddsvärda. Den svenska lagstiftningen har kontinuerligt anpassats efter det
rådande rättsläget.
Den informationstekniska utveckling som präglat samhället särskilt de
senaste decennierna har förändrat förutsättningarna för integritet. Ny teknik
har också skapat nya utmaningar för lagstiftaren. I denna uppsats undersöks
vilken strategi den svenska lagstiftaren valt i förhållande till
integritetsskyddet och vilka effekter det får. Här utforskas den historiska och
teoretiska bakgrunden till begreppet utifrån lagförarbeten och doktrin.
Personlig integritet och dess begreppsbildning diskuteras också från ett
rättsfilosofiskt perspektiv.
Att definiera exakt vad som ska omfattas av begreppet är förmodligen inte
möjligt. Lagskyddet bör dock, som lagar i allmänhet, uppvisa viss systematik
och koherens. I uppsatsens undersökning framträder bilden av en lagstiftare
som saknar strategi.
En lagstiftare som förhåller sig passiv eller alltför avhållsam till
integritetsskydd i den digitala kontexten skapar i praktiken en
ansvarsförskjutning. Individen blir då utlämnad till sin personliga tekniska
kompetens och privata aktörer. Rätten till personlig integritet blir ojämlik,
godtycklig och riskerar att framstå som illusorisk. (Less) - Abstract
- The right to integrity of the person constitutes a fundamental part of human
dignity, an inviolable right that must be respected and protected. This is
enshrined in both the Swedish Instrument of Government (sw.
regeringsformen) and the European Convention on Human Rights. In spite of
this, there is no unanimity around what protection of the right to integrity of
the person encompasses in practice. The state’s duty to protect an individual’s
right to integrity of the person is rather extensive, possibly including active
measures. Through its judicial activity, the European Court of Justice has
developed case law with respect to interests and situations that warrant such
protection. Swedish legislation has been... (More) - The right to integrity of the person constitutes a fundamental part of human

prevailing legal position.
The technological development of recent decades and its impact on civil
society have changed the conditions for the rights to respect for private life,
and new technology has given rise to legislative challenges. This dissertation
addresses the Swedish legislative strategy with respect to protection of
personal integrity and its resulting effects. The concept’s historical and
theoretical background is explored based on legislative history and legal
doctrine. The conceptualisation of personal integrity is also addressed from a
philosophy of law perspective.
Defining the exact perimeters of personal integrity is in all likelihood an
impossible task. However, there should be a minimum degree of coherence
as regards the legal protection offered with respect to personal integrity. The
findings of this dissertation suggest a lack of strategy in the Swedish
legislation.
Passivity on the part of the legislator results in an effective shift of
responsibility, leaving the individual dependent on her personal technological
literacy as well as on private actors. Consequently, the right to integrity of the person becomes unequal and arbitrary, ultimately running the risk of
becoming illusory. (Less)
