Skärpta krav på tolkar ska säkra rättssäkerheten i migrationsärenden

The Riksdag has decided to tighten the rules for public officials and interpreters in migration cases From January 1 2026 only lawyers will be eligible to be appointed as public officials The auditors must meet new clearer competence requirements Authorities such as the Migration Agency and the Police Agency also have the right to collect information Register deviations and assess the suitability of interpreters and assistants for future assignments The purpose is to improve quality strengthen legal certainty and reduce the risk of Unauthorized or illegal actors gain access to sensitive information Sweden Democrats' Nima Gulam Ali Pour describes the reform as a necessary cleansing From a system long shaped by a lack of control It has been stated by CEPÅ that if the public official sympathizes With certain groups or promoting forces some information may then be removed It has been expressed that if the interpreter incorporates certain values into the translation That can lead to multicultural conflicts between the interpreter and the person being translated For example if the interpreter thinks that the person being translated But if one is not appropriately dressed one might show some irritation towards that person Avoid misinterpreting and submitting your own reviews or ratings It must not be possible So now that we are reducing the volumes to Swede Is it also time for us to ensure that the right people are handling migration cases And that those who come here the few who come here have the right security With a new national register and clearer requirements for competence and examinatio We hope the government and the Sweden Democrats that the system will become both safer and more professional If there are discrepancies among interpreters and public officials or if they have specific special skills that would contribute Then one must have this in a certain register and be able to collect it and have a certain basis when appointing a public official Even security policy expert Johan Westerholm warns about the lac On licensed interpreters in languages such as Arabic Persian and Somal Authorities to hire unauthorized persons which can threate Both the rule of law and the country's security It can be the college that decides to license interpreters which has quite high requirements There is only a handful of licensed interpreters who can do this just like there is a language area like Turkish Then we are talking about a handful less than ten in Sweden who have all the licenses It's something one has to have It goes without saying that this is a huge problem We have a fairly large Turkish diaspora and the problem is even bigger with language areas such as Farsi or Arabic or Somali This means that authorities from the police judiciary and courts They are forced to use unlicensed interpreters who spea It's a reasonably good Swedish That's where the problem begins All technical terms are they familiar with them and are there equivalents For example translating from Somali into various types of diagnoses that we are familiar with but that do not exist there It is a rather complicated procedure So that this becomes patient-safe But the big problem arises when it comes to resources as we are referred Until an unregulated supply Then we face a security issue We have many perspectives It's about taking a man from the street who speaks reasonable Swedish but talks Somali What we as customers and society as customers don't really have a handle on is how clan affiliation plays into this Will it be solved as a clan issue and as a client Then it may be in the interpreters' interest who belong to another clan I have an interest in this woman or man receiving the worst possible care translates incorrectly omits facts or it is an official decisio Someone has to go against this person Or if one filters information that one knows is detrimental to the one being interpreted It's simply either translating incorrectly or not translating at all According to Westerholm loyal interpreters can in the worst case pass on informatio until foreign intelligence services where he sees artificial intelligence One possible way to ensure translation quality and detect errors interpretation It could be like that if we take Farsi which is a language spoken in Iran to suddenly have a regime loyal interpreter He sits and thinks about information regarding the Iranian refugee situation and reports back to the Iranian intelligence service Allies of Iran intelligence agencies of allies such as the Russian or even the Egyptian whatever it may be So it's a security issue when we have this unregulated interpreting situation And we are therefore experiencing a shortage of interpreters This reform is necessary when looking at how many interrogations are being conducted I would like to see these as complementary measures and this is a clear message to Karl-Oskar Bolin in particular Minister for Civil Protection and Defense Issues and also Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmar and also Johan Forssell It is time to assign the Migration Agency in this case the task of examining AI-generated translations I have started looking very closely at the language models that build artificial intelligence And there are indeed opportunities to perhaps not replace the interpreter with artificial intelligence There is indeed an opportunity to conduct an initial or basic interview basic data and get it so to speak neutrally translated and also certain event sequences Artificial intelligence is coming as this is about legal processes They can never replace the human interrogator in various degrees I would like to see a completion of this so that one can also get rid of this artificial intelligence But when all this is transcribed into Swedish it can be an aid for the authorities To see if this interpreter is named Mohammed or Ali or Fatima or whatever her name may be Either Ivan or Igor then we can get them in the list here here the interpreter is translating this incorrectly So one could say that one can use artificial intelligence as a quality They can carry out the large bulk in various translation situations Instead of needing interpretation support for two hours maybe one needs a human interpreter in a quarter of an hour Or 20 minutes for the big questions which are already addressed So there is indeed a significant I would say potential for efficiency here A person in a position of authority but especially at the decision-making level is capable of thinking outside the box
