Specialkäskyillä

Specialkäskyillä is a Finnish term that translates directly to "with special orders" or "by special instruction." It is most commonly used in legal and administrative contexts within Finland. The phrase signifies that a particular action, decision, or procedure is being undertaken not according to standard regulations or general practice, but due to a specific directive issued by an authority or individual with the power to do so.

This can manifest in various situations. For example, a government agency might issue a specialkäskyllä to a subordinate department to handle a case in a particular way, deviating from the usual protocol due to unique circumstances. Similarly, in military or police operations, a commander might issue a specialkäskyllä for a specific mission, outlining unique objectives or rules of engagement. The term implies a degree of exceptionality, suggesting that the standard procedures are either insufficient or unsuitable for the matter at hand.

The implementation of a specialkäskyllä often requires clear documentation and justification, as it represents a departure from established norms. It ensures accountability by identifying who issued the special instruction and for what reason. While the term itself is straightforward, its implications can range from minor procedural adjustments to significant policy shifts, always emphasizing the direct and explicit nature of the order.
