The government made additions to one of its previous decisions and regulated the use of extra-budgetary means by the RA Human Rights Defender.

According to a government press release, that addition will ensure the Human Rights Defender's financial independence. Ombudsman Karen Andreasyan had appealed to the government for that independence in early May.

"The courts have control over their budges and don't receive the government's consent for expenditures," said the Ombudsman.
