NHRI

On 20 December 1993, the UN General Assembly adopted by its resolution the so-called Paris Principles that obligate the member states to establish a national human rights institution in accordance with the principles formulated in the resolution.

As of 1 January 2019, the Chancellor of Justice is the national human rights institution (NHRI) in Estonia. The institution was granted A-status under the Paris Principles in December 2020.
