ANNUAL REPORT 2014–2015 Two NHRIs reported that they had entered formal memorandums of understanding with civil society organisations for joint work in accepting and investigating complaints and in human rights education. Another reported that it convened tripartite meetings of civil society organisations, government ministries and the NHRI in which the civil society organisations have unequalled opportunities for direct advocacy with government. Several NHRIs reported that they now hold quarterly or half-yearly meetings with civil society organisations to discuss their work. Following the devastating earthquake that struck Nepal on 25 April 2015, the National Human Rights Commission of Nepal established human rights “mobile camps” in the 14 worst-hit districts of the country to monitor the post-earthquake situation and investigate the concerns of local residents. It adopted a human rights-based approach to guide its work and inform its advocacy to government, especially in relation to the delivery of prompt and appropriate responses to address the needs of victims and their families. The Commission operated the mobile camps in cooperation with civil society groups, including the Nepal Bar Association, the Federation of Nepali Journalists and the NGO Federation of Nepal.
