The United Nations system in Uruguay issued a statement highlighting the relevance of the work carried out by the INDDHH.
The declaration ensures that it is “a great asset for the country in terms of human rights”, and at an international level it is considered an institution of reference.
For this reason, the process of selection and appointment of the Board of Directors of the INDDHH for the period 2022-2027 is of great importance. “The national regulations mention requirements such as experience and well-known knowledge of human rights or high moral authority. These criteria reflect, among others, the ‘Paris Principles’, which guide the work of these institutions on a global scale. Among them, it is worth mentioning the importance of safeguarding the formal and functional independence of the institution”.
The United Nations system “trusts that the selection process for the next INDDHH Board of Directors guarantees international standards and expresses its deepest appreciation for the culture of respect for human rights in Uruguay, which is a source of inspiration for many others. countries”.
