أمثلة على التعاون مع شركاء:

Over the years, the Swedish Red Cross (SRC) has brought the issue of data protection to the attention of the leadership of the Swedish Migration Agency (SMA) through its regular humanitarian diplomacy, reminding the authority that the SRC has no obligation neither to initiate a tracing request upon request by a third party, nor to provide any information to a third party, in order to be able to fulfil its mandate of meeting the needs and rights of all, without discrimination. The SRC also stressed that the organization only processes personal data for strictly humanitarian purposes. This standing was further strengthened with the adoption of this resolution and the constructive dialogue continued and resulted in a MoU between the SRC and the SMA, with an ambition of exploring the possibility to get direct access to contact details to asylum seekers in their database and reaching a common understanding of SRC’s RFL mandate and activities. Activities such as establishing common procedures for SRC requesting personal data and for the SMA providing such data. To increase the understanding of the SMA regarding the humanitarian mandate of the Movement, information material, including a short film, was developed. In addition, regular meetings to follow-up the MoU have been set up.

In 2023 a dialogue with the Swedish Tax Agency, managing civil registration of private individuals, was initiated with the purpose of exploring the possibility to get direct access to the population register.

Based on the “spirit” of the resolution, the dialogue with the Swedish Police Authority regarding the search and identification of missing migrants at sea has been strengthened

Exchanges with other national societies and ICRC on this topic have taken place.
