Recommendation 8

Paragraph: 39
The ECHR requires that there be sufficient public scrutiny of investigations.
Conclusion
The ECHR requires that there be sufficient public scrutiny of investigations. The proposed model does not provide for the public to engage in the review process. The public is limited to reading the published reports. The Commissioner for Investigations should be required to give consideration to whether any public hearings could be held during the course of case reviews (see Annex, Amendment 4).
