Committee on Justice and Human Rights

The Senate Committee on Justice and Human Rights is one of the crucial committees in the Senate because of its broad spectrum of concern. Accordingly, its jurisdiction includes managing or acting on all matters concerning the organization and administration of justice, civil courts, penitentiaries and reformatory schools; probation; impeachment proceedings against constitutional officers and other officers legally removable by impeachment; registration of land titles; immigration and naturalization; the implementation of the provisions of the Constitution on human rights; and all matters pertaining to the efficiency and reforms in the prosecution service.
