Throughout history, his authority and authority have been interpreted in various ways. It was not until the 1970s that a significant contribution to the theoretical definition of the concept of ombudsman. The International Bar Association, with a resolution adopted in 1974 at the Vancouver Conference, gave a definition and then extended the resolution adopted at the 18th Conference in West Berlin in 1980, which recommended the establishment of an ombudsman service to protect citizens from violations of their rights by public officials and public authorities. which we still have today. With the establishment of the Christmas Constitution in the 1990s, for the first time in Croatian history, an ombudsman called the ombudsman was introduced into the legal and political system, where in 1993 the Ombudsman Act came into force.
