| Mandate |
The Sub-Committee deals with human rights law, home affairs and empowerment of public administrators. It is competent to examine complaints or petitions of individuals or groups who wish to express their views relating to human rights.. It is also responsible for supervising the implementation of human rights. The Sub-Committee is not entitled to discuss a bill on human rights issues, which is dealt with directly by Committee II . |
| Membership |
The Sub-Committee has 22 members each nominated by the faction to which they belong, taking account of each member's own preference and other factors. They serve for a five-year term, unless a proposal is made by the member or his or her faction for a transfer to another sub-committee or committee. |
| Working methods |
Items for discussion are selected taking account of public concerns about human rights issues, and a meeting of the Sub-Committee decides whether each item is accepted as an agenda item. Most of its meetings are public, except when the presiding officers are elected.
The Sub-Committee may summon government officials to hearings as provided for by the Rules of Procedure of the House, which requires a proposal by at least 10 members. It may also seek more information on the issues referred to it by conducting informal meetings with the competent governmental and non-governmental human rights institutions. The Sub-Committee reports its discussions to Committee II, which adopts a decision and refers it for approval to the House plenary. The Sub-Committee has no authority to enforce the implementation of a decision but it is able to provide political scrutiny. It does not at present publish reports or other documents. |
| Relations with other parliamentary bodies |
The Sub-Committee is established by Committee II, which is responsible for preparing laws and budget estimates, and carrying out parliamentary scrutiny of judicial and home affairs matters. Accordingly, the Sub-Committee coordinates all its actions with Committee II. However, decisions can only be taken at plenary meeting of Committee II. |
| Relations with external bodies |
