In 1998, the Swedish Parliament passed a law prohibiting the purchase, as well as the attempted purchase, of sexual services. The law entered into force on 1 January, 1999. From an international criminal legal perspective, the law is unique in that it puts criminal sanctions on the buyer, but not the seller. The law soon gained much international attention and has been subject to much debate in Sweden as well as internationally, and the Swedish government has promoted it to other countries as a solution to the “problem of prostitution”.
