An indigenous Swedish, Danish and Norwegian term, Ombudsman is etymologically rooted in the word umboêsmaêr, essentially meaning ´representative’. The major advantage of an ombudsman is that he or she examines complaints from outside the offending state institution, thus avoiding the conflicts of interest inherent in self-policing. |
