the issue of unequal representation of public and state authorities within the commissions is a problem common for all the oc. the majority of the oc has 1-2 more “official” members than the members of general public. some of the oc, however, have even less representatives of the community, e.g. pervomaysky district oc, which has only 3 members of public among the total number of members, which is larger than stipulated by the regulations. this situation can be explained by lack of interest towards oc operation among the ngos of some districts. actually, even the organizations represented in the oc, are not the ones that deal with the penitentiary system or work for the reforming of criminal justice. mainly they unite former public servants, wwii veterans, afghan veterans, street committees members, people affected by the aftermath of the chernobyl npp disaster, clergy. their membership in the oc shows that specialized organizations are scarce. not a single oc in kharkiv oblast’ (with the exception of balakliya rayon), is headed by a member of public, or has a public representative as deputy head or secretary. the reason for this is that under the regulations both the head and the secretary are elected by the oc founding body. easy to guess that a state official a priori is not interested in oc active operation (as any members’ excessive activity means more of a “headache” for him) becomes the head of the commission. as a result, the whole oc operation can become dependent on the state officials’ will and won’t be able to realize its human rights protection initiatives, involving the community members into the process. these latter thus become just “petitioners” seeking the oc head's permission every time certain initiative comes into being. naturally the oc head is an elected official with a lot of other duties apart from the observance of the prisoners’ rights or even meetings with other commission members.
