National Human Rights Institutions
An introduction to the nature, functions and roles of national human rights institutions (NHRIs)
The course ‘National Human Rights Institutions’ for the HREA is an introduction to the nature, functions and roles of national human rights institutions (NHRIs). NHRIs have become very important in the task of protecting and promoting human rights at the national and regional level.
NHRIs operate in many forms this can be based on their mandate, their organisational composition, or the political and legal traditions the NHRI has. The NHRIs can inform governments on matters of human rights policy, they can be working on all human rights or more specific issues. This course explores and critically reflects on national human rights institutions.
The course is part of the distance learning project from the Human Rights Education Associates. For more information click here
The application deadline is 1 December 2009.
