Alongside the messages you use, the form you deliver them in is also crucial. Here are some ideas for simple products that may aid or be useful in your interactions with national authorities:

  • A short document – tailored to your context and understanding of national authorities – that outlines to national authorities in simple sentences/paragraphs “What the benefits are for you to support your NHRI.” This could be a one-pager to hand to national authorities that clearly states your ‘case’ for cooperation/support.
  • An infographic illustrating an NHRI’s place in the (inter)national human rights system.
