Vast: Investigative Committee of Armenia will have ombudsman
The establishment of a single investigative body will allow reducing risks of incorrect cooperation of investigative agencies, said Arend Vast, an invited EU expert.
During discussions on the Single Investigative Body he said that the purpose of setting up such a body is to have more independent and highly qualified investigators.
“The draft on the Investigative Committee does not envisage a unit of ombudsman, but I learned at meetings with Aghvan Hovsepian that it is planned to create such a body at the Investigative Committee. The ombudsman will more urgently respond to human rights abuses,” A. Vast said.
