I just had a look at the actual text of the current revision of that
policy, at
<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons&oldid=132420854>
It only mentions the Arbitration committee once in the body of the text.
Quoting:

(followed by a quotation from the ruling where this occurred)

This has absolutely nothing to do with whether the ArbCom is
"responsible for enforcing Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons".

Could you be more specific?
