NHRC Accreditation by GANHRI

Subject : International Relations

Section: International Organisations

Concept :

  • The credibility and independence of the National Human Rights Commission of India have been questioned by the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI), the international body that accredits NHRIs based on their compliance with the UN-mandated Paris Principles.

Details

  • The National Human Rights Commission of India (NHRC) is a statutory body that was established in 1993 with the mandate of protecting and promoting human rights in the country.
  • The NHRC-India has been accredited with ‘A status’ by GANHRI since 1999, which means that it is fully compliant with the Paris Principles and can participate independently in the UN Human Rights Council and other UN mechanisms.
  • However, in 2016, the NHRC-India’s accreditation was deferred due to some concerns raised by GANHRI’s Sub-Committee on Accreditation (SCA).
  • The credibility and independence of the NHRC have been questioned by the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI).

Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI)

  • It is a global network of national human rights institutions (NHRIs) that aims to promote and protect human rights around the world.
  • They are independent bodies that monitor report and advise on human rights issues in their respective countries.
  • They also cooperate with regional and international human rights mechanisms, such as the United Nations Human Rights Council and the Universal Periodic Review.
  • GANHRI is celebrating 30 years of the Paris Principles and 75 years of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 2023. It invites all stakeholders to join its efforts to advance human rights for all.
