Article 13 explained in plain English
This article sets up a tool of accountability and follow-up, the annual report:
- Who submits it: the committee.
- To whom: the Emir of the Region first, and then it is submitted to the Minister of Interior.
- Contents: the committee's achievements and its financial reports.
- Frequency: annually.
This report is tied to several articles of the Regulation:
- Article 1, which attaches the committee to the Emir of the Region, so the report passes through him.
- Article 6, which makes preparing periodic reports and financial needs a duty of the committee secretary.
- Article 12, which regulates the financial allocation and spending from it, which is reflected in the financial reports.
The article does not set a particular time in the year for submitting the report, or its detailed form. The evident purpose of the text is that the committee's work and funds remain before the Emir and the Minister. This is complemented by the role of the permanent committee at the Ministry of Interior under Article 14 in considering the committees' periodic reports. Anyone with a question about a particular case may consult a lawyer specializing in criminal cases.
