The members of the Azerbaijani parliament's committees recommended to lift restrictions prohibiting ombudsmen to be elected to this post more than once.

Committee on Human Rights and Committee on Law Policy and State-building held a joint meeting today. The draft Constitutional amendments on Law on Azerbaijani Ombudsman were discussed at the meeting.

Committee on Law Policy and State-building Chairman Ali Huseynov said over 63 members of parliament have introduced their signs to the parliament to amend the law.

He said the amendments to the article 4.2 stipulates that one and the same person can not be elected for ombudsman's post for more than twice and amendments to the article 4.3 stipulate that in case a new ombudsman is not elected on day of termination of ombudsman's office, he/she will continue office.

MP Gudrat Hasanguliyev said there is a need to make changes to the Law on Prosecutors as well.
