CYPRUS | Commissioner for Administration and the Protection of Human Rights submits annual report to the President of the Republic of Cyprus

On 21 December 2023, the Commissioner for Administration and the Protection of Human Rights, Mrs. Maria Stylianou-Lottides, submitted to the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Mr. Nicos Christodoulides, the Annual Report of her Office for the year 2022, as well as the individual Annual Reports detailing the work and action of the Office under the mandates of the Commissioner as the Equality Body and the National Preventive Mechanism (NPM).

During the presentation of the Reports, the Commissioner pointed out that “on the cover of the Annual Report for 2022 we have our evaluation by the United Nations with status A, something that was also helped by the change in the process for appointing the Ombudsman.”

The Commissioner also noted, among others, that the content of the Annual Reports reveals an increase in citizens’ complaints about issues surrounding their benefits, adding that civil service issues were slightly lower compared to disability issues.

Both the Annual Report and the other Reports can be found here.
