5. CORE VALUES
The core values of NHRC that were acknowledged during the process of the strategic
plan formulation are discussed in the following section.
5.1. Accessibility
The Commission would ensure that its services are within the reasonable reach of the
general public, particularly of the people who are living and working in the vulnerable
circumstances. The Commission will endeavor to make its maximum possible presence
for investigation and monitoring of human rights violations across the country. The
Commission would take every possible and practical approach in order to ensure access
to human rights in terms of proximity, affordability and access to information to all the
people in general and disadvantaged groups in particular.
5.2. Accountability
The Commission is cautious to demonstrate its accountability towards the people. Its
credibility and success depends on the fulfillment of its responsibility. As a part of its
accountability, the Commission prepares periodic reports of its work and widely
disseminates them in all the regions of the country. It also organizes public hearings to
discuss the role and responsibility of NHRC as per the need and demand of the people.
5.3. Diversity
Diversity issue will always be taken into account in policy making, planning and
programming processes of the Commission.
5.4. Equity and Equality
The Commission works in the light of ensuring all categories of human rights for all the
people equally. To put an end to all forms of exploitation and discrimination in the
society will be its main motto. The Commission will therefore strive to promote equal
opportunities to people in all its activities. Equity is a key pathway to make a
realization of equality and therefore, the Commission will also introduce gender and
social audit, and mechanism of financing for enhancing social inclusion.
5.5. Impartiality
