Conclusions. In the course of the study, it is concluded that it is advisable to give the right of legislative initiative to those commissioners who are appointed by legislative (representative) bodies at both the federal and regional levels, regardless of whether they perform the functions of "general competence" or belong to specialized ombudsmen.
