It is, of course, critical that the NHRI should comply with the Paris Principles. 3. Geographic jurisdiction and extraterritorial effect National human rights institutions generally have a geographic reach across the national territory. According to the recent OHCHR survey mentioned above, most NHRIs respondents (58) cover the whole country. The general standard is for one NHRI per country, but in very exceptional circumstances, should more than one national institution seek accreditation from the International Coordinating Committee, article 39 of its Statute provides that the State shall have one speaking right, one voting right and, if elected, only one Bureau member.19 This is discussed in more detail in section B below. In a small number of cases (14), NHRIs have extraterritorial jurisdiction. Ibid., para. 6.6. 19 14
