7.2.3 Participation and Social Inclusion
The Commission has a set policy to advocate and promote for the active, free and
meaningful participation in all social, political and development processes. It
encourages the participation of disadvantaged and marginalized section of population.
This would help to mainstream excluded population into mainstream political, social,
economic and development processes.

people have the right to get information without unreasonable delay. The Commission
has a duty to give information in a transparent way. The Commission is committed

8.4 Capacity development of HRD
8.5 National capacity building on HRBA and ensure development initiatives to needy

8.1 Support to Protect Life, Liberty and Security
The life, liberty and personal safety are still under serious threat as serious crimes
like killing, abduction, human trafficking, enforced sale of human organs and
involuntary sex trade are still taking place in society. The prevailing muscular and
armed threats by organized groups with political tag directly violates the right to life,
freedom from fear and right to live in peace and harmony. These activities are directly
responsible to undermine the spirit of rule of law and violation of human rights
enshrined in various legal instruments, both national and international. The NHRC
would involve in monitoring and investigation, dialogue and advocacy and
campaigning against those activities.
