Like it or not, Karpachova will continue as Human Rights Ombudsperson

06.06.2006    source: www.unian.net
A shame that the Human Rights Ombudsperson did not heed the repeated calls of human rights organizations to not mix this important office with political activities much earlier

05.06.2006  Human Rights Ombudsperson, Nina Karpachova, has submitted to parliament her resignation in writing in connection with her election as State Deputy of Ukraine.

UNIAN was informed of this by the Human Rights Ombudsperson’s Press Service.

However, according to the Press Service, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine stopped work on 25 May and had not by that time considered N. Karpachova’s letter.

The Press Service therefore states that N. Karpachova is obliged to carry out her constitutional powers as Human Rights Ombudsperson since,  in accordance with Article 85 § 17 of the Constitution of Ukraine, the appointment and dismissal from office of the Human Rights Ombudsperson lie within the competence of the Verkhovna Rada.

The Press Service stresses that N. Karpachova is not receiving a salary as State Deputy of Ukraine.

Nina Karpachova was elected to the Verkhovna Rada on the candidate list of the Party of the Regions (No. 2)
