The Presidential Office held a meeting on the draft law on the military Ombudsman

The working group, chaired by the Presidential Commissioner for the protection of the rights of servicemen and their families Olga Reshetilova (Kobylinskaya), continued to prepare the bill on the military Ombudsman. Its general frame was previously developed by the Central Department of Protection of the Rights of Servicemen of the Ministry of Defense. The meeting was attended by representatives of the Presidential Office, the Ministry of Defense, the General Staff of the Armed Forces and NGOs.

  "There is a common position of the public, the Ministry of Defense and the President that the office of the military Ombudsman should be a separate institution with the relevant powers that will allow to effectively protect the rights of servicemen and rights and freedoms in the security and defense sector as a whole," Olga Reshetilov said. The working group discussed the status and powers of the future military Ombudsman and his office, subordination and interaction with other state bodies.
