This article represents a research premise on an indispensable component for access to the position of Ombudsman provided by national legislation, such as “notorious activity in the defense and promotion of human rights”. We reiterate that the term subject to research was less reflected in scientific doctrine, national practice and legislative norms. The special legislation does not provide a definition and clarity on the representation of notoriety in human rights. This essential precondition remains subject to various interpretations, a fact that can vitiate the process of selecting or electing candidates according to the constitutional function of the People’s Advocate and guaranteeing the independence of the People’s Advocate, after his appointment. The article represents a synthesis of the author’s research topic and will be developed later in the doctoral thesis.
