The members of the Executive Committee and the permanent staff of HCLU carry the daily affairs of HCLU. They discharge the publicly announced services, and they formulate HCLU position on key issues of legal policy.
A Board of Advisors assists the work of the Executive Committee. The Board consists of renowned jurists, lawyers and physicians with whom we have evolved daily working relations. It is the duty of the Board of Supervisors – whose members are elected by the General Assembly – to supervise the activities and financial operation of the Executive Committee.
