Press statement | 31.12.2018 GANHRI 25 GANHRI 25 25 years ago, the foundations were laid for the world of national human rights institutions (NHRIs) that we know today. Building on the outcomes of the Vienna World Conference on Human Rights, the United Nations General Assembly, on 20 December 1993, strongly endorsed the establishment and strengthening of NHRIs in accordance with the “Principles relating to the status of national institutions,” also universally referred to as the Paris Principles. The same year, a group of NHRIs decided to create an “international committee” to coordinate between all national institutions and with the United Nations, and to promote the creation of new national institutions – the birth of what today is known as GANHRI. They also recognized that they can better succeed domestically in their responsibilities by working in unison with their peers, whether regionally or globally. The 25th anniversary in 2018, the endorsement of the Paris Principles by the General Assembly and the creation of GANHRI are an opportunity to celebrate achievements but also to reflect on the impact of our contributions as NHRIs on realising human rights on the ground, and on the challenges and opportunities ahead.
