Human rights lawyer Eric Paulsen urged the government to set up an independent body to scrutinise the amendments to citizenship laws before they are debated in the Parliament in the next sitting.
According to the Lawyers for Liberty co-founder, the committee should include the Attorney-General’s Chambers as the main coordinating body, as well as representatives from the United Nations (UN), other ministries, academicians, activists and relevant stakeholders.
Paulsen added that a sufficient timeframe should be set for MPs to review the bill in detail, as well as to conduct thorough discussions and consultations.
