This document provides definitions and guidance related to key terms and concepts in the EU Return Directive. It defines terms like third-country national, illegal stay, return, return decision, and removal order. It clarifies what situations constitute illegal stay. It also provides explanations around the definition of return, specifying that returning someone to another EU Member State does not constitute return under the Directive. The document provides important context and interpretations to facilitate a harmonized understanding and application of the Return Directive.
This bill requires the Secretary of State to submit a report to Congress on designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization. It cites numerous findings that support this designation, including: that several countries have already designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group; the Muslim Brotherhood's founding philosophy incorporated violent jihad and terrorist operations; and that some of its leaders and affiliates have been involved in terrorist attacks or designated as terrorists by the U.S.
This document is a thread by Imam Mohamad Tawhidi listing evidence of links between the Muslim Brotherhood and terrorist acts or affiliations. Over 20 examples are provided spanning from the 1940s to recent years, including assassinations of political leaders in Egypt, bombings that killed hundreds in Syria and Egypt, and militant attacks on police and military forces. Several Muslim-majority countries are noted to have designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. Connections between the Muslim Brotherhood and other extremist groups like Al-Qaeda and Hamas are also described.
The Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019 aims to update terrorism offences to reflect the evolving threat and nature of radicalization, disrupt terrorism by enabling earlier police intervention, and ensure sentences properly reflect the seriousness of offences. Key measures include expanding terrorism offences to include online activity, increasing maximum penalties for preparatory offences, strengthening management of terrorist offenders after release, and conferring new stop and search powers at borders to counter hostile state activity. The Act is intended to ensure police and security services have the necessary powers to tackle terrorism and threats to national security.
The document discusses factors that may contribute to radicalization, including:
1) Grievances such as poor family relationships, bullying, and views on foreign policy combined with exposure to radical ideology.
2) Brainwashing and involvement in gangs and low-level crime.
3) Issues with cultural and religious identity for some young people, especially where parents lack English skills.
However, empirical evidence shows most British Muslims feel integrated and do not experience alienation from mainstream society. There is disagreement over whether a "vacuum in leadership" in Muslim communities has been a factor.

Sweden aligns itself with the EU statement and is committed to advancing gender equality as a fundamental human right. Sweden acknowledges that while it has made progress toward equality through policies like parental leave and access to healthcare, gaps still remain for women in areas like wages and unpaid work. Sweden also expresses concern about the global decline of democracy and attacks against human rights defenders and civil society groups. It highlights its feminist foreign policy and support for issues like reproductive rights. Sweden concludes by saying these are troubling times that require defending existing gender equality gains against forces trying to roll them back.

Angående Riksrevisionens revisionsrapport -
Information om Domarnämndens verksamhet i
Domstolsverkets årsredovisning
Ert Dnr 32-2009-0611
Riksrevisionen har i rubricerad rapport den 30 mars 2010 redovisat iakttagelser
gällande Domarnämndens verksamhet och därtill lämnat ett par
rekommendationer. Domstolsverket lämnar i detta yttrande information med
anledning av iakttagelserna i rapporten.
Allmänt om Domstolsverkets relation till Domarnämnden
I 1 § förordning (2007:1073) med instruktion för Domstolsverket anges
Domstolsverkets uppgifter och verksamhetsområde. Domarnämnden ingår inte i
den uppräkning av domstolar och nämnder som utgör Domstolsverkets
verksamhetsområde. En följd av detta är bl.a. att Domstolsverkets föreskriftsrätt
inte gäller Domarnämndens verksamhet.
Domstolsverket fungerar som värdmyndighet för Domarnämnden och utför
enligt 5 § förordning (2007:1073) med instruktion för Domstolsverket respektive
4 och 5 §§ förordning (2008:427) med instruktion för Domarnämnden endast
administrativa och handläggande uppgifter åt Domarnämnden. I förarbetena till
inrättandet av den nuvarande Domarnämnden (prop. 2007/08:113 s. 32) anges
bl.a. följande. För att Domarnämndens verksamhet ska fungera krävs att frågor
som rör personaladministration, löner, verksamhetsstöd, IT m.m. kan hanteras.
Enligt regeringens uppfattning bör Domstolsverket ha ansvaret för dessa
uppgifter och Domarnämndens kansli bör således vara organisatoriskt kopplad
till Domstolsverket. Det bör åligga den nya nämnden att tillsammans med
Domstolsverket överväga på vilket sätt beredningsarbetet närmare bör
organiseras.
18 § myndighetsförordningen (2007:515) reglerar bl.a. att Domstolsverket har
ansvar inför regeringen för de uppgifter som verket sköter åt Domarnämnden.
Som Riksrevisionen också har påpekat i sin rapport är Domarnämnden en
självständig myndighet med en egen instruktion. Ledamöterna i Domarnämnden
utses av regeringen och nämnden är vid fullgörandet av sina uppgifter enligt 1 §
förordning (2008:427) med instruktion för Domarnämnden självständig. Denna
självständighet gäller även i relation till Domstolsverket. En annan sak är att
Domstolsverkets generaldirektör deltar som ledamot i besluten om anställning
av domstolschefer och närvarar med yttranderätt vid nämndens övriga
anställningsärenden (se a. prop. s. 31).

Förhållandet att flera av Domarnämndens ledamöter har engagemang i
nätverket Hilda
Riksrevisionen rekommenderar att det bör prövas om de omständigheter som
framkommit i granskningen är förenliga med nämndens uppdrag och inte är
förtroendeskadliga.
Att pröva om Domarnämndens ledamöters engagemang i nätverket Hilda ska
anses förtroendeskadligt är en uppgift av tillsynskaraktär som ligger utanför de
uppgifter som Domstolsverket ges i ovan nämnda instruktioner. Uppstår i ett
ärende fråga om jäv enligt 11 § förvaltningslagen (1986:223) ska en sådan
invändning hanteras av Domarnämnden.
Domstolsverkets rutiner för sitt administrativa stöd till nämndens
ärendehandläggning
Riksrevisionen rekommenderar också att Domstolsverkets rutiner för sitt
administrativa stöd till Domarnämnden bör ses över och påtalar att det är viktigt
att det av nämndens protokoll framgår kriterier för och resultatet av
meritutvärderingen.
De stöduppgifter som Domstolsverket utför åt Domarnämnden innebär inte att
verket också har regeringens bemyndigande att styra Domarnämndens
verksamhet när det gäller uttryckssätt i protokoll och beslut. Domarnämnden är
som ovan nämnts självständig vid fullgörandet av sina uppgifter. Det är av
central vikt att Domstolsverket enbart är värdmyndighet och alltså inte har rätt
att påverka Domarnämndens verksamhet.
Domstolsverket kommer inte vidta några ytterligare åtgärder med anledning av
revisionsrapporten.
Detta yttrande har beslutats av undertecknad generaldirektör. I den slutliga
handläggningen har också chefsjuristen Jörgen Nilsson deltagit. Föredragande
har varit kammarrättsassessorn Anders Grehn.
