Lugansk People’s Republic parliamentarians have adopted a law on ombudsperson in the Republic, the press service of the LPR People’s Council (parliament) reported.
Chairman of the parliament committee on legislation Alexander Kriyerenko said that the new law had been drawn in order to implement the provisions of the federal law on regional human rights commissioners and ensure additional guarantees in state protection of man and citizen’s rights and freedoms in the LPR territory.
The person appointed to the position of human rights commissioner has to be at least 30 years of age, live permanently in the Russian Federation and have impeccable reputation, higher education, knowledge in the field of rights and freedoms and legal experience.
The ombudsperson is appointed by the LPR parliament for a term of five yeas. The appointment or early termination of powers has to be coordinated with Russia’s human rights commissioner.*i
