F5 has inbuilt gelocation database so this should work. I see there was 1 typo in iRule

(space between [IP::client_addr] country).

Please correct below and also enable some logging and provide the log output if still not working.

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
	switch -glob [whereis [IP::client_addr] country] {
             "ES" 
		{     
                        log local0. "ES IP match: [IP::client_addr]"
                        HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://www.abc.com/es-es/home/servicepoints.html"
		} 
		"SE"
		{      
                       log local0. "SE IP match: [IP::client_addr]"
		       HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://www.abc.com/se-se/home/servicepoints.html"
		}
		default {
                        log local0. "no match: [IP::client_addr]"
		        HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://www.abc.com/home"
		}
	}
}
