European Network of National Human Rights Institutions

Published August 16, 2024

The European Network of National Human Rights Institutions (ENNHRI) brings together over 40 National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) across Europe to advance the promotion and protection of human rights. As an essential platform for collaboration, ENNHRI enables these independent, state-mandated bodies—ranging from ombuds institutions to human rights commissions and institutes—to collectively address regional human rights challenges and engage with European institutions.

ENNHRI supports its members by sharing best practices, organizing capacity-building activities, and assisting in compliance with the UN Paris Principles. This network enhances the visibility of NHRIs and provides a unified voice to influence regional legal and policy developments.

The Office of the Ombudsman in Malta has been accepted as an Associate Member of ENNHRI as of February 2024.
