The Chancellor of Justice was visited by a six-member delegation from the Mongolian National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), with a wish to learn about the work of the Chancellor as the national human rights institution and gain an overview of its activities in the field of data protection. During the visit, meetings are also scheduled with representatives from the Data Protection Inspectorate and the Ministry of Justice and Digital Affairs. In the two preceding days, the Mongolian colleagues visited the Danish Human Rights Centre. The study visits are part of the European Union's Technical Assistance and Information Exchange (TAIEX) program.
The main task of the Mongolian National Human Rights Commission, established by law in 2001, is to monitor the fulfilment of Mongolia's domestic and international human rights obligations, investigate human rights violations, resolve complaints, provide recommendations for improving laws, policies, and practices, and increase public awareness of their rights. Since May 2022, the commission also operates as a data protection authority.
