“The CNDH reports that, while its budget has been increased, it would benefit from additional funding to effectively carry out the full breadth of its mandate.

The SCA emphasises that, to function effectively, an NHRI, must be provided with an appropriate level of funding in order to guarantee its ability to freely determine its priorities and activities. In particular, adequate funding should, to a reasonable degree, ensure the gradual and progressive realisation of improvement in the NHRI’s operations and the fulfilment of its mandate.

The SCA encourages the CNDH to continue to advocate for an appropriate level of funding to enable it to effectively fulfil its mandate.”
