Nor can women justly complain of any partiality in the adminis-(33) tration of justice. They have the sympathy of judges and particularly of juries to an extent which would warrant loud complaint on the part of their adversaries of the sterner sex. Their appeals to legislatures against injustice are never unheeded, and there is no doubt that when any considerable part of the women of any State really wish for the (40) right to vote it will be granted without the intervention of Congress.

Overall, Sweden has an excellent record for most civil liberties, and the prime minister, Goran Persson, boasts of his aim to make Sweden an ethical superpower. Sadly, however, Sweden s exemplary performance in most areas of civil rights does not extend to all aspects of the Convention on Human Rights.
