About National Human Rights Commission
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) of India, established on October 12, 1993, is a pivotal institution in the country dedicated to the safeguarding and promotion of human rights. Its foundation is rooted in the Protection of Human Rights Act (PHRA), 1993, later amended by the Protection of Human Rights (Amendment) Act, 2006 and Protection of Human Rights (Amendment) Act, 2019. This statutory framework provides the NHRC with the legal mandate and authority to uphold human rights within the nation. The Paris Principles of Human Rights, adopted in 1991 for the promotion and preservation of human rights and supported by the United Nations at its General Assembly in 1993 through its Resolution 48/134, served as the foundation for the creation of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC).
