ENNHRI’s General Assembly took place on 21 February in Geneva, where NHRIs representatives from about 40 countries gathered to discuss the latest developments of the network.

On the agenda were the accreditation process of the NHRIs, the preparation of future capacity building and knowledge-exchange activities, as well as further updates from GANHRI, the Global Network of NHRIs, which is celebrating 25 years since its establishment. Members shared experience about the accreditation process, the Paris Principles and the SCA General Observations within several round-tables.

The next days will be dedicated to a knowledge exchange session on the rights of older persons and the much awaited GANHRI conference on the rights of persons with disabilities.
