#UPR52: #Belgium highlighted progress in strengthening its national human rights framework through the establishment of the Federal Institute for the Protection and Promotion of Human Rights and the Flemish Institute for Human Rights, in line with the #ParisPrinciples. #NHRIs
Governments that haven't yet signed or ratified #OPAC should do so without delay. Those that have not yet endorsed the #ParisPrinciples, #VancouverPrinciples, #SafeSchoolsDeclaration, or #EWIPADeclaration should do so & take steps for effective implementation. (2/2)

Sessions cover context analysis, the operationalization of the SSHRC legal mandate, monitoring & reporting, and engagement with AU Human Rights mechanisms.
Goal: a practical roadmap for SSHRC to protect rights, prevent violence, and contribute to peaceful, inclusive elections. #AfricaWeWant
How can the public trust the EHRC's advice on equality when evidence shows they're not impartial? They've even adopted terminology from lobby groups. Is the whole purpose of the EHRC now redundant? @EHRC @Ganhri1 @bphillipsonMP #Equality#RegulatoryCapture #ParisPrinciples
Why is the @India_NHRC wanting to be exclusive? Would it not be good to do programs in States also in collaboration with the SHRC of the relevant state ? Any civil society presence in such a training or exclusively NHRC? #ParisPrinciples speaks about cooperation.? @Ganhri1 @APFHumanRights @UNHumanRights @forum_asia @ainni_India

#ParisPrinciples #NHRIs #HumanRights
A national human rights body built on political loyalty, not principles, is a betrayal of justice. @sjs_Somalia rightly demands compliance with the Paris Principles & ACHPR norms.
🇸🇴 Somalia deserves an independent & credible NHRC.
#HumanRights #Somalia #ParisPrinciples #NHRC
🚨 @sjs_Somalia reminds the Somali government—particularly the Ministry of Women and Human Rights and President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud—that the NHRC must be formed in line with international norms, notably the Paris Principles, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1993, and reinforced by the Kigali Declaration (2003) of the African Union.
The Paris Principles emphasize:
Transparent and participatory selection processes involving civil society, academia, and human rights organizations.
Merit-based selection of the commission members grounded in integrity and commitment to human rights.
Public calls for applications, background checks, and open vetting.
Independent, pluralistic selection committees free from political influence.
Parliamentary oversight and legal grounding to ensure independence and legitimacy.
Similarly, the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) Resolution 31 requires that NHRIs: (a) Be established by constitutional or legislative mandate; (b) Be independent of government control; (c) Have a broad, actionable mandate, including powers to investigate, report, and recommend action; (d) Be financially autonomous.
What we witnessed on Saturday in Mogadishu stands in direct violation of all these standards. SJS calls on the Federal Government of Somalia to immediately halt the ongoing process and restart the formation of the NHRC in full compliance with Article 41 of the Provisional Constitution and international standards.

SUHAKAM looks forward to continue to strengthen its collaboration with fellow NHRIs and its international partners worldwide and to explore future bilateral engagements with other stakeholders.
#GANHRI2025 #NHRIs #ParisPrinciples
From 10-12 March 2025, SUHAKAM, led by Chairman Dato' Seri Mohd Hishamudin Yunus, participated in the GANHRI 2025 Annual Meeting in Geneva. Discussions focused on disability rights, NHRI accreditation and promoting gender equality.
#GANHRI2025 #NHRIs #ParisPrinciples
We remain concerned over NHRCI’s failure to meet #ParisPrinciples & implement GANHRI’s recommendations. Despite its “A” status deferment in 2023 & 2024 by SCA, NHRCI has not addressed concerns over its independence & performance.
Honoured to meet w/ High Commissioner Volker Türk at #GANHRI2025.
In today’s challenging context, we reaffirm the strength of our partnership, as we work hand in hand for #HumanRights protection everywhere, strong #NHRIs & accountability for violations.
