The SCA notes that CNDH currently consists of 22 staff, which is close to the total number of 27 members. The SCA is of the view that this represents a shortfall that may impact on the institution’s effectiveness and its capacity to fully implement its mandate, including operations at its regional offices, both those currently functioning and those in the process of being operationalized.

The SCA emphasizes that adequate staffing can better support the fulfillment of the NHRI mandate and promote stability in the institution.

Therefore, the SCA urges the CNDH to expedite the recruitment process to ensure adequate human resources for optimal functioning.

The SCA refers to G.O. 2.4 ‘Recruitment and retention of NHRI staff’.
