CHR was able to maintain its accreditation despite fears early on that the commission might lose the Status ‘A’ rating due to the lack of officials.
In August 2022, over a month since President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. was sworn into office, no new CHR officials were appointed, prompting Executive Director Jacqueline de Guia to take on a caretaker role.
“They are also granted full membership to GANHRI, including the ability to vote and hold governance positions. NHRIs apply for review and reaccreditation every five years. It is a rigorous process conducted by other NHRIs representing the regions of Africa, Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe,” CHR said.
“Our Status ‘A’ accreditation status also allows CHR to be recognised as an a credible and authoritative voice before international human rights bodies in reporting the human rights situation situation in the country, as well as in reviewing government’s laws, policies, and practices,” it added.Subscribe to our daily newsletter
