    The Opinion concludes that recent changes to the Constitutional Law on the Human Rights Defender in conjunction with the legislation on public and civil service appear to have created numerous challenges for the institution of the Human Rights Defender, in particular in relation to the internal management, including staffing issues. It is important that a solution is found to these challenges, in order to safeguard the autonomy of the Human Rights Defender and not compromise the ability of this important human rights institution to perform its role independently and effectively.
