ABSTRACT

This article offers a detailed critical appraisal of the Venice Principles on the Protection and Promotion of the Ombudsman, adopted in 2019 by the Venice Commission of the Council of Europe. It praises them for being the most comprehensive set of constitutional and legal principles relating to ombudsman to date, drafted to be applicable to different legal and political systems. However, the article finds that such adaptability also resulted in some trade-offs and came at the expense of conceptual clarity of some of the principles. Despite that, the Venice Principles present a more complete document than the Paris Principles on National Human Rights Institutions, with better internal logic and consistency when it comes to ombudsman’s issues. The article concludes that ombudsman institutions fully in line with the Venice Principles would, ipso facto, reach a normative threshold for the compliance with the Paris Principles.

对《关于保护和促进监察员的威尼斯原则》的批判：等同于《巴黎原则》？

摘要

本文对欧洲委员会威尼斯委员会于2019年通过的《关于保护和促进监察员的威尼斯原则》进行了详细的批判性评估。它赞扬它们是迄今为止与监察员有关的最全面的宪法和法律原则，起草后可适用于不同的法律和政治制度。但是，该文章发现，这种适应性还导致了一些折衷，并且是以某些原则的概念清晰为代价的。尽管如此，《威尼斯原则》仍比《巴黎国家人权机构原则》提供了更完整的文件，在监察员问题上具有更好的内部逻辑和一致性。文章的结论是，完全符合《威尼斯原则》的监察员机构将，事实上，达到遵守《巴黎原则》的规范门槛。
