Paragraph 115
 

On the contrary, the intervention of an independent and impartial authority in boundary delimitation is crucial in order to avoid political manipulation, even if it is not inadmissible for the legislator or an electoral management body to take the final decision. The competent body should take account of the opinion of a committee the majority of whose members are independent. National legislation and practice could be reconsidered in this regard.
