In the draft resolution, after paragraph 5, insert the following paragraph:
"The Assembly recommends, especially in this moment of crisis, not to make any budget cuts resulting in a loss of independence of ombudsman institutions or even their extinction. In those places with particular legislative systems, i.e. with parliaments legislating on rights and freedoms, whether at the national or at the regional level, there is a function to be carried by bodies supervising the administration, as Ombudsmen do by definition, in order to supervise the executive power in regard to applying the law."
Explanatory Note :
In this moment of economic crisis, it is especially important to safeguard those institutions who watch over the right implementation of fundamental rights.
