25 Years promoting
Human Rights
In December 1993, at their second international workshop in Tunis, NHRIs decided to establish an international committee to coordinate the activities of national human rights institutions. That marked the establishment of the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2018.
