Ryección is a term primarily used in Icelandic legal contexts, referring to the act of prosecution or bringing a legal case before a court. It is the formal process by which an alleged offender is accused of a crime and subjected to legal proceedings. This can involve both criminal and civil matters, though it is most commonly associated with criminal law. The term encompasses the initiation of legal action by an authority, such as the state prosecutor, against an individual or entity believed to have committed an offense.

The process of ryección typically involves the gathering of evidence, the formal charging of the accused, and the presentation of the case in court. It is a fundamental aspect of the justice system, ensuring that alleged wrongdoings are addressed and that individuals are held accountable under the law. The specific procedures and requirements for ryección are defined by Icelandic statutes and legal precedents. This legal mechanism serves to maintain public order and uphold the rule of law by providing a framework for resolving disputes and punishing criminal behavior.
