The Swedish Aliens act sets out the categories of people who are entitled to proctection in Sweden. Clarity, credibility and humanity are the watchwords of the legislation. A person who feels a well-founded fear of persecution on grounds of race, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or religious or political conviction is given asylum under the Geneva Convention. Others in need of protection are those who risk capital punishment, torture or other inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, those who are fleeing from internal or external armed conflict or environmental disaster, and those who are subject to persecution because of their gender or homosexuality. In mass migration situations the Government can authorise temporary two-year residence permits.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - Swedish%20Aliens%20Act
