Children that are taken care of for institutional care by the social services are unprivileged as a group.

From the normative standpoint of legal security and the United Nations Children's Convention, this thesis investigates the consequences of interaction between two Swedish supervisory Authorities for the social services: Socialstyrelsen and länsstyrelserna. To fulfill the aim I will investigate the approach taken by the Authorities and the work division between Socialstyrelsen and länsstyrelserna.

The Swedish political organization is subject for the investigation of this thesis, with regard to the realization of universal human rights. There is a discrepancy between the Swedish state's international undertakings in legally binding treaties and theactualization of human rights by local Authorities.

Of interest here, is the effect that these, and other organizational aspects, between the national and the local, have for the realization of human rights in local Authorities. Also, the discrepancy between the national and the local is attempted to be understood.
