The INDH’s annual report is presented to Congress in a ceremony carried out in December each year, attended by the President of the Republic and other State authorities. This ceremony is broadcasted on social media of Congress and of the INDH. In addition, the INDH conducts outreach campaigns both at its headquarters and in the regions where it has presence.

The SCA acknowledges the activities undertaken by the INDH to publicize and disseminate the content of its annual reports. However, the SCA considers it is important that the enabling law of an NHRI establish a process whereby the institution´s reports are required to be discussed and considered by the legislature.

The SCA encourages the INDH to continue to engage with Parliament on its annual report and recommends that it advocates for amendments to its enabling law to explicitly establish a process whereby its reports are to be discussed and considered by the legislature.

The SCA refers to Paris Principle A.3 and to its General Observation 1.11 on “Annual reports of NHRIs”.
