Despite the limitations posed by the pandemic, GANHRI was able to
continue its work by conducting its meetings and events virtually and
encouraged the sharing of experiences and knowledge on human
rights promotion and protection amid the health crisis. For example,
two events were held on 3-4 December in conjunction with the 2020
Annual Meeting of GANHRI:
• Knowledge Exchange of Good Practices: Implementation of NHRI
mandate and functions in the COVID-19 contexts
• 2020 Annual Conference of GANHRI on Climate Change: The Role
of National Human Rights Institutions
In December, the GANHRI-SCA resumed its operations by conducting

re-accreditation may be conducted remotely next year, subject to
the developments of the COVID-19 pandemic.
