NHRCB’s Activities on Complaint Management NHRCB, which was established by the National Human Rights Commission Act 2009, is the reflection of the government's commitment for protecting human rights. Despite challenges the commission is operating activities as per the provisions enshrined in the Act. The whole world has been struggling to protect human rights due to Covid-19 crisis. Many people died and many suffered from coronavirus. As a result, in last two years, the world faced a difficult reality and the task of protecting of human rights became more challenging. Inspite of all, NHRCB did not stop its activities. The Commission continued official tasks online led by the present commission. NHRCB published advertisements on awareness raising about coronavirus in daily newspapers. Besides, some of the remarkable actions can be mentioned here. The Commission sent recommendations to take action for ensuring health rights, making the hotline of IEDCR available for 24/7, taking special protection measure for persons with disabilities, freeing the prisoners from crowded prisons and taking steps for protecting prisoners, taking proper legal action for ensuring social distance, arranging for PPE for cleaners, instructing government officials for behaving in a humanely manner etc. I would like to mention some activities of NHRCB regarding protection of human rights by complaint management. The present commission formed a full bench, 02 regular bench and mediation bench for handling complaints. Besides, a committee has been formed to verify the complaints received from different parts of the country. After the verification, the complaints are sent to 04 separate benches.
