Portugal
"In accordance with article 23 of the Constitution, citizens can complain
to the Provedor de Justiça (Ombudsman) about actions or failures to act on the
part of the authorities. He has no power to take a decision, but he will
consider the complaints and make appropriate recommendations to the competent
bodies in order to prevent and remedy injustices (No. 1 ) .
The activity of the Provedor de Justiça is independent of the
discretionary and contentious remedies provided for by the Constitution and
the law (No. 2 ) .
The Provedor de Justiça is an independent personality who is appointed by
the Assembly of the Republic (No. 3 ) . "
Rwanda
"There is no national human rights commission in Rwanda nor any
mediator. We consider, however, that in CESTRAR (the Central Trade Union of
Rwandese Workers) our country has an organization which can play a very
effective role as a conciliatory body if the victim is a worker who has
problems with his employer.
The same applies to the Appeals Chamber for staff of the central
administration."
