Today the RA National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Protection
of Human Rights and Public Affairs approved a government proposal to
increase the 2013 budget expenditure allocated to the Office of the
Human Rights Defender by 11.8 million AMD.
The Office had presented a budget proposal of 188.4 million.
The Human Rights Defender argued that the increase was necessary to
guarantee the independent operation of the agency and to facilitate
Armenia’s implementation of its obligations under the U.N. Convention
against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment
or Punishment.
