Abstract (Swedish)
Denna uppsats undersöker hur barns rättigheter beaktas vid utmätning av familjebostäder i Sverige och Finland, med särskilt fokus på principen om barnets bästa, vilket definieras i FN:s barnkonvention. Uppsatsen genomför en jämförande analys av de rättsliga ramarna och de skyddsmekanismer som finns för att säkerställa barnets bästa vid bostadsutmätningar i de båda länderna.
Både Sverige och Finland har ratificerat barnkonventionen och integrerat dess principer i sina nationella rättssystem. Det framgår dock att tillämp-ningen av barnets bästa inte alltid är konsekvent i praktiken, och att det finns utmaningar i att balansera barnets rätt till skydd och stabilitet med ekonomiska och rättsliga överväganden. I Sverige betonas barnets... (More)

Både Sverige och Finland har ratificerat barnkonventionen och integrerat dess principer i sina nationella rättssystem. Det framgår dock att tillämp-ningen av barnets bästa inte alltid är konsekvent i praktiken, och att det finns utmaningar i att balansera barnets rätt till skydd och stabilitet med ekonomiska och rättsliga överväganden. I Sverige betonas barnets välbe-finnande genom rättspraxis, särskilt vid utmätning av bostad, medan Fin-land har en mer strukturerad metod för att skydda barns rättigheter genom specifika lagar och riktlinjer.
Den komparativa analysen belyser både likheter och skillnader mellan de två länderna. Både Sverige och Finland erkänner vikten av barnets bästa vid utmätning, men ländernas metoder för att säkerställa detta skiljer sig åt.
Uppsatsen identifierar även områden för förbättring i båda länderna, där en tydligare och mer enhetlig tillämpning av barnets bästa skulle kunna stärka barns skydd vid utmätning. Slutligen presenteras rekommendationer för framtida forskning och policyutveckling, med fokus på att skapa mer om-fattande skyddsmekanismer för barn och säkerställa att deras rättigheter alltid beaktas vid beslut om bostadsutmätning.

Abstract
This essay examines how children's rights are considered in the enforce-ment of family home seizures in Sweden and Finland, with a particular focus on the principle of the best interests of the child, as defined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The study conducts a comparative analysis of the legal frameworks and protective mechanisms in place to ensure the best interests of the child in such cases in both countries.
Both Sweden and Finland have ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child and integrated its principles into their national legal systems. How-ever, it is evident that the application of the best interests of the child is not always consistent in practice, and challenges exist in balancing children's... (More)
This essay examines how children's rights are considered in the enforce-ment of family home seizures in Sweden and Finland, with a particular focus on the principle of the best interests of the child, as defined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The study conducts a comparative analysis of the legal frameworks and protective mechanisms in place to ensure the best interests of the child in such cases in both countries.
Both Sweden and Finland have ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child and integrated its principles into their national legal systems. How-ever, it is evident that the application of the best interests of the child is not always consistent in practice, and challenges exist in balancing children's rights to protection and stability with economic and legal considerations. In Sweden, children's well-being is emphasized through case law, particularly in home seizure cases, while Finland employs a more structured approach to protecting children's rights through specific laws and guidelines.
The comparative analysis highlights both similarities and differences be-tween the two countries. While both Sweden and Finland acknowledge the importance of the best interests of the child in seizure proceedings, their methods of ensuring this differ.
The essay also identifies areas for improvement in both countries, where a clearer and more consistent application of the best interests of the child could enhance children's protection during seizures. Finally, recommenda-tions are presented for future research and policy development, focusing on creating more comprehensive protective mechanisms for children and en-suring that their rights are always considered in decisions involving home seizures.
