In 2005 Landa was appointed Director of Human Rights of the Basque Government, by the Regional Minister of Justice Joseba Azkarraga. He was appointed as an independent professional (without political affiliation). He held the position during the VIII Legislature of the Basque Government (2005–2009).

In 2016, the Basque Parliament approved the so-called "Police Abuse Law" (Law 12/2016, of July 28, on recognition and reparation of victims of human rights violations in the context of politically motivated violence in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country between 1978 and 1999), which recognized all victims of police abuse committed in Euskadi between 1978 and 1999.[17] Among others, there are victims like those in the Killing of Lasa and Zabala.[18] [19]

To this end, the Police Abuse Law created the "Assessment Commission" of the Basque Government (Assessment Commission for the recognition and reparation of victims of police abuse).[20] [21] The commission was established in 2018.[22] Landa was appointed as one of the members of the Assessment Commission by the Basque Government (along with others, such as the forensic experts Francisco Etxeberria and Benito Morentin or the human rights director Jonan Fernández). Within the Assessment Commission he was appointed spokesperson.[23] [24] [25] [26] [27]
