About this statute

This article says the law sets out the mission, organisation, and functioning of the National Human Rights Commission. The Commission’s head office must be in Kigali City, and it may be moved elsewhere in Rwanda if necessary. The Commission operates nationwide and may set up branches anywhere in the country. The Commission is independent and permanent, cannot receive instructions from other organs when carrying out its mission, and has legal personality plus administrative and financial autonomy. The Commission must promote and protect human rights. The Commission must carry out several human-rights promotion tasks, including education, reporting, advice, urging government action, and collaboration.
