Network of National Institutions in the Americas


The Network of National Institutions in the Americas is one of four regional groups of national human rights institutions within the global network, the International Co-ordinating Committee of NHRIs. The Americas group, which largely consists of ombudsman agencies rather than multi-member human rights commissions, is currently chaired by the National Human Rights Commission of Mexico, which represents the region on the ICC Bureau.
