Overview & More informations

The National Human Rights Committee (NHRC) is an independent, non-governmental organization in Qatar. It was founded in 2002 and is accredited with A status by the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI). The NHRC's mission is to promote and protect human rights in Qatar, in accordance with international human rights standards. The NHRC has a broad mandate to investigate human rights violations, make recommendations to the government, and raise awareness of human rights issues. It also provides legal aid to victims of human rights violations and monitors the implementation of human rights laws and policies in Qatar. The NHRC is governed by a board of directors, which is composed of prominent human rights activists, lawyers, and academics. The NHRC's work is funded by the government of Qatar and by international donors.

The NHRC has been praised for its independence and its commitment to promoting and protecting human rights in Qatar. However, it has also been criticized for its lack of transparency and for its failure to address some of the most serious human rights issues in Qatar, such as the kafala system and the treatment of migrant workers.

Despite these criticisms, the NHRC remains an important voice for human rights in Qatar. It is the only independent organization that is authorized to investigate human rights violations in the country, and it has played a significant role in raising awareness of human rights issues and in promoting legal reforms.
