- Abstract
National Human Rights Institutions have emerged worldwide in the last 20 years. The Paris Principles developed by the United Nations in 1993 set standards for the establishment and mandate of the institutions. Accordingly, these institutions play an important and constructive role for the promotion and protection of human rights, in particular in their advisory capacity to the competent authorities, in remedying human rights violations, in the dissemination of human rights information, and education in human rights. Their broad mandate and their position between the state and civil society as well as the national and international level set them apart from other national actors. This paper points out why and in what extent the National Human Rights Institutions are central elements of national legal protection systems.
