PETALING JAYA: The National Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) re-accreditation as an “A status” body was essential to preserve both international and domestic recognition and trust, said its chairman Tan Sri Othman Hashim.

He said that the Paris Principles required National Human Rights Institutions such as Suhakam to be independent in law, policy, operations, and control of resources.

In June, Suhakam was re-accredited as an A-status institution by the Sub-Committee on Accreditation of the Global Alliance of the National Human Rights Institutions . Hashim said that as of August, GANHRI’s membership totalled 118, with 86 accredited ‘A’ status whilst 32 ‘B’ status, with every member undergoing an accreditation process every five years based on compliance with the Paris Principles.
