Asia Pacific Forum of National Human Rights Institutions

We're a network of 26 National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) from across the Asia Pacific. Our vision is an Asia Pacific where human rights are universally enjoyed and respected. Drawing on 25 years of experience, a commitment to innovation and an outcomes-based approach to our work, our expertise lies in supporting the establishment of NHRIs in the Asia Pacific and strengthening the capacity of our members to carry out their vital work. We also work closely with governments, civil society organisations, regional human rights bodies and the international community to build strong partnerships and strengthen the impact of our members as they work to build fair, inclusive and resilient communities.
