National Human Rights Institutions: Rules, Requirements, and
Practice is an authoritative guide to National Human Rights
Institutions (NHRI) in their important role as promoters and
protectors of human rights at the national level. This book serves
as both the first ever 'casebook' on the findings of the SCA, as
well as a comprehensive reference for the requirements for
compliance of NHRIs with the Paris Principles, and is a vital
source of information on the actual practice of NHRIs. Since its
earliest assessments of NHRIs in 1998, the Global Alliance of
NHRIs' (GANHRI) Sub-Committee on Accreditation (SCA) has developed
a substantive body of work that has examined the operation and
practice of over 128 institutions in countries and territories from
every part of the globe. Analysed and catalogued in their entirety
into an accessible format for the first time, and covering all
aspects of NHRIs' structure and functioning, as well as providing a
thorough overview of how the SCA works in practice, this book is an
indispensable resource for scholars and practitioners who wish to
understand and learn how NHRIs operate at the national level, as
well as what problems they face and ultimately, how they can be
strengthened. Benefitting from the unique insight of David Langtry,
a member of the SCA for 11 years, this book is an essential source
for all those interested in the role of NHRIs, and more broadly, of
all state-established institutions intended to function
independently.
