Indicator 16.a.1: ce of independent national human rights institutions in compliance with the Paris Principles
Definition and concepts
Six models of national human rights institutions exist today in the world regions and namely: Commissions for Human Rights, Ombudsman Institutions, Hybrid Institutions, Advisory Bodies, Multiple centres and institutions. A national human rights institution considered independent is the one that has the accreditation status of level A, in line with the Paris Principles. The UN Paris Principles (adopted in 1993 by the UN General Assembly), establishes the international standards based on which the national human rights institutions (NHRI) may be accredited by the Global Alliance of national human rights institutions (GANHR). The accreditation process is carried out through peer-to-peer assessment by the Sub-Committee for Accreditation (SCA) of the GANHR. There are three possible types of accreditations:
A: in line with Paris Principles
B: Observer Status – not fully in line with Paris Principles or no sufficient information was provided so as to allow an assessment
C: Not in line with Paris Principles.
Data are collected annually by the Sub-Committee for Accreditation (SCA) of GANHR from the National Ombudsman Offices.
Since May 2018, the Republic of Moldova Ombudsman Office acquired the accreditation status of level A.
