Asia Pacific Forum


The Asia Pacific Forum is one of four regional networks of national human rights institutions within the International Co-ordinating Committee of NHRIs. The APF formerly accredited NHRIs for compliance with the United Nations' Paris Principles, but now acknowledges the accreditation decisions of an ICC sub-committee on which the APF has one of the four seats.
The APF is unique among the four regional networks in having close working relations with non-governmental organisations in its region.
