BackThe Annual Report 2014 of the Seimas Ombudsmen’s Office provides an overview of the activities of Augustinas Normantas, the Seimas Ombudsman and the Head of the Seimas Ombudsmen’s Office, and Raimondas Šukys, the Seimas Ombudsman.
In the report’s introductory words, Ombudsman Normantas and Ombudsman Sukys expressed their expectation that this report “will serve as an excellent mean to ensure wider dissemination of the information on human rights.”
In 2014, we received about 2,000 complaints, almost half of which were recognised as well-grounded, and provided over 1,800 recommendations. The year 2014 was also special for the Seimas Ombudsmen’s Office, because it started the implementation of a completely new function assigned to it by law: the national prevention of torture, assigned to it following the ratification of the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture (OPCAT).
