تُشكّل في وزارة الداخلية لجنة دائمة من كل من: وزارة الداخلية، ورئاسة أمن الدولة؛ تتولى مهمات الإشراف على أعمال لجان إصلاح ذات البين المشكلة في إمارات المناطق، والنظر في التقارير الدورية لتلك اللجان، واقتراح ما تراه لتطوير أعمالها.

Article 14 explained in plain English
After the Regulation has set up the committees in each region, this article creates a central supervisory body over them:
- Name and seat: a permanent committee formed at the Ministry of Interior.
- Composition: from the Ministry of Interior and the Presidency of State Security.
Tasks:
- Supervising the work of the reconciliation committees formed in the regional emirates.
- Considering the periodic reports of those committees.
- Proposing what it sees fit to develop their work.
There are therefore two levels: a committee in each region, attached to the Emir of the Region under Article 1, which carries out the seeking of reconciliation, and a permanent committee at the Ministry of Interior that supervises these committees and follows up their reports. The permanent committee's role is supervisory and developmental, and the text does not say that it seeks reconciliation itself.
The article does not specify the number of members of the permanent committee, how it works, or how often it considers the reports. Anyone with a case who wants to know the appropriate body to follow it up may consult a lawyer specializing in criminal cases.
