Information regarding the National Institution for Human Rights of Bahrain

In 2015, the National Institution for Human Rights of Bahrain (NIHRB or Institution) was granted B status to mark the Bahraini NIHR’s partial compliance with the Paris Principles.1 Although the NIHRB was scheduled for re-accreditation in October 2023, the Sub-Committee on Accreditation (SCA) of the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI) decided to defer the re-accreditation of the NIHRB to its Second Session of 2024.2 Hence, in October 2024, the SCA will decide on the re-accreditation of the NIHRB, based on an evaluation of the progress made since 2023.
