We, the undersigned organizations, are writing to bring to your attention serious concerns regarding the National Human Rights Commission of India (NHRCI) ahead of the 2025 review of its accreditation status by the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI) Sub-Committee on Accreditation (SCA). In March 2024, several signatories to this letter wrote to your office sharing their concerns about the functioning of the NHRCI. In response to the concerns laid out in the letter and other civil society submissions, in June, GANHRI-SCA deferred the NHRCI’s re-accreditation by 12 months for a second consecutive year.
