The Human Rights Ombudsman is an independent state body. According to the law, the elementary mandate of the Ombudsman is the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms in relation to public authorities. Any person who believes that their human rights or fundamental freedoms have been violated by an act or an action of state authorities, local self-government bodies and bearers of public authority, may submit a complaint with the Ombudsman to start the proceedings. Amongst others, in the final report, the Ombudsman shall provide an assessment of the facts and circumstances of a case and determine whether human rights or fundamental freedoms were violated in the case under consideration and in what manner, or whether any other irregularities occurred. The Ombudsman shall also indicate how to rectify the established irregularities.
