National human rights institutions

National human rights institutions (NHRIs) are independent organizations established by a country's government to protect, promote, and monitor human rights within that country. They serve as bridges between citizens and authorities, investigating rights violations, advising policymakers, and raising awareness. NHRIs ensure that governments follow human rights standards, provide a forum for people to seek justice, and promote equality and dignity. They are vital for upholding accountability and fostering a culture of respect for human rights at the national level.
