The OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) is organising a meeting of heads of National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) from the OSCE region focused on building resilient NHRIs. This meeting will take place on the 5 and 6 September 2022.
The discussions between the 60 representatives of NHRIs, inter-governmental organizations (IGOs), NHRI networks and other regional partners gathered in Warsaw will aim to encourage the institutions to build resilience when faced with potential threats.
