Paragraph 40
 

In addition to transparency in boundary delimitation, international standards also call for an impartial boundary authority not abusing its discretionary powers. In principle, when the procedure for delimiting electoral districts has been defined precisely in a law, the process remains the same regardless of who is drawing the district boundaries. Having said that, the absence of clear and transparent provisions for the delineation of the electoral constituencies as described above calls for a thorough assessment of the authority entrusted with this task.
