Legislative texts

The powers, competences and procedures of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Future Generations are laid down in sections 27/A-H of Act LIX of 1993 on the Parliamentary Commissioner of Human Rights (the Ombudsman Act). The procedures of the Commissioner fall outside the scope of the Administrative Procedures Code or any other administrative codes, except to the extent the Commissioner takes part in procedures administered by other authorities (e.g. the Commissioner sues a polluter in court).

Given the framework nature of the relevant sections of the Ombudsman Act the Commissioner has further specified the rules of investigations by his Resolution No. 1/2009. (V. 4.), issued in May 2009 (the Rules of Investigation).
