Rapporteur

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rapporteur (derived from French) is used in international and European legal and political contexts to refer to a person appointed by a deliberative body to investigate an issue or a situation, and report back to that body.

For example, Dick Marty was appointed rapporteur by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe to investigate the allegations of extraordinary rendition by the CIA.
