The SCA notes that the CNDH has had limited engagement with the international human rights system. The CNDH did not submit alternative reports to Treaty Bodies, nor has it submitted a stakeholder report to the Universal Periodic Review for the 4th cycle of Chad in 2024

Noting that these are effective tools for NHRIs in the promotion and protection of human rights domestically, the SCA recommends that the CNDH strengthen its engagement with the international human rights system.

The SCA refers to Paris Principle A.3 (d) and (e) and to its General Observation 1.4 on “Interaction with the international human rights system.”
