GRECO, the international organization against corruption, starting
from the report on our country, advises the government of Armenia to
reduce the number of public officials who have immunity. Particularly,
the members of parliament, members of central and divisional electoral
committees are mentioned. Besides, GRECO’s recommendation emphasizes
the importance of reducing the role of the president of Armenia and
the public prosecutor, who make individual decisions, in depriving
judges and the staff of the Office of Public Prosecutor of immunity.
Now under the legislation of Armenia different people receive immunity
in different periods. Only during the local elections several dozens
of thousands of people are granted immunity.
