Dnevnik Comments on Human Rights Debate in Parliament

Ljubljana, 29 November - The human rights ombudsman has the mission of a counter-authority that restricts the arbitrariness of authority in its relation to individuals. This was Ombudsman Matjaz Hanzek's summary of his work as he presented the annual ombudsman's report to parliament on Thursday. Meanhwile, the parliament - without three-quaters of its MPs - demonstrated just how seriously the legislative branch considers the ombudsman's annual report on human rights and legal security of Slovenian citizens, Dnevnik writes on Friday.
