General principles of the Ombudsman’s inspection proceedings

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents selected general principles of control proceedings conducted by the Ombudsman. These are not jurisdictional proceedings, and the rules set out in the Code of Administrative Procedure do not apply to them. Due to the significant formalization and simplification of these proceedings, the general principles applicable to them are important. These express certain values that are relevant to all involved, and which the Ombudsman, in conducting the proceedings, should take into account at all times. A person has an inalienable dignity, and the Ombudsman should uphold this, while also upholding the freedoms and rights of the human being and the citizen, and the relation ship of the person to society. The general principles, expressing certain values, are there to “remind” the Ombudsman of these basic duties.
