Abu Dhabi: The third periodic meeting of the National Human Rights
Institution UAE Board of Trustees, headed by H.E. Maqsoud Kruse, Chairperson of the NHRI,
convened last week in Abu Dhabi, as part of the periodic meetings to
follow up and examine the progress in the 100-day institutional and
organisational plan.

During the meeting, the memberships of the six permanent committees
were approved and commissioned to work on setting their goals and operational plans.
Additionally, the members of the committees were briefed on the updated amendments to
the internal rules and regulations. The meeting has also discussed insights and perceptions
about human rights files, as well as the existing preparations for launching the NHRI official
interactive website and its platforms on social media.

Established by Federal Law No. (12) of 2021, NHRI UAE is an independent national entity,
and its work charter is based on the Paris Principles for NHRIs Act of 1993, and relevant
international treaties and conventions.
