The Commission will always support the Human Rights Defenders in their endeavors. 9th December is a day when we think about them and acknowledge the role being played by them. This day can be the better observed if it is declared as the "Human Rights Defenders Day". The National Human Rights Commission looks forward to a greater support from the Human Rights Defenders so that it can serve its mandate of promotion and protection of human rights in the country in the letter and spirit.
