independent commissions

Independent commissions are organizations established to make decisions or oversee specific areas—such as elections, human rights, or public ethics—without direct control from government officials. They operate independently to ensure impartiality, fairness, and transparency. By doing so, they help safeguard democratic processes, enforce laws, or protect individual rights, all while maintaining neutrality to prevent bias or undue influence from political or other interested parties. Their independence is crucial for public trust and effective governance, allowing them to objectively carry out their responsibilities based on law and evidence.
