Regelnämnda

Regelnämnda is a Swedish term that translates to "rule council" or "disciplinary board." It refers to a body or committee established within an organization, association, or institution to oversee and enforce its rules, regulations, and ethical standards. The primary function of a regelnämnda is to investigate alleged breaches of these rules and to determine appropriate sanctions or resolutions.

These bodies are commonly found in professional organizations, sports federations, academic institutions, and sometimes within governmental or corporate structures. Their composition can vary, but members are typically individuals with expertise in the relevant field or in legal and ethical matters. The process often involves receiving complaints, conducting investigations, gathering evidence, and providing an opportunity for the accused party to present their case.

Decisions made by a regelnämnda can range from warnings and reprimands to suspension, expulsion, or financial penalties, depending on the severity of the infraction and the established rules of the organization. The aim is to maintain order, uphold the integrity of the organization, and ensure fair treatment for all members or participants. The specific procedures and powers of a regelnämnda are usually outlined in the organization's statutes or bylaws.
