Accreditation session set for June
Ten NHRIs will be reviewed at the upcoming session of GANHRI’s Sub-Committee on Accreditation, to be held from 14-24 June 2021.
At the 2020 GANHRI Annual Conference, NHRIs pledged to take action – individually and collectively – to address the human rights challenges of climate change. GANHRI will continue to support NHRIs in this vital work, by providing a platform for exchange and to develop strategies, to strengthen NHRI capacities and to build partnerships with members, UN partners and others.
We also continue to promote the vital contribution of NHRIs to human rights-based climate action. In a statement, GANHRI Chairperson Freddy Carrión Intriago told the 46th Session of the Human Rights Council, such action “must protect the rights of those most affected by climate change and build on the principles of non-discrimination and meaningful public participation.”
