Peter Frølich and Frode Jacobsen have introduced a proposal to amend the Constitution's § 96 to constitutionally protect the independence of the public prosecution authority. The proposers argue that constitutional protection will ensure the prosecution can remain independent in the future, and that experience from other countries demonstrates that prosecutorial independence can be threatened if it relies only on formal legal safeguards.
