Moreover, one of the commitments regarding the observance of human rights is establishing and ensuring the proper functioning of the National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs). The guiding principles of NHRI's activity are the Paris Principles, which were adopted by the United Nations General Assembly by resolution 48/134 of 20 December 1993. According to the decision of the Sub-Committee on Accreditation (SCA) of the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI), in 2018, the People's Advocate Office was accredited with the A status, which attests that the mandate, duties and functionality of the institution are in full compliance with the provisions of the Paris Principles. However, the state needs to make further efforts to fully strengthen the National Human Rights Institution of the Republic of Moldova. On these issues I mentioned in previous reports, but also in the alternative ones to the international mechanisms for the protection of human rights. Taking into account the above, I consider that it would be quite correct to assess 2019 as a year of stagnation in the field of human rights in the Republic of Moldova. In view of the mandate of the National Human Rights Institution, the People's Advocate reiterates the availability to cooperate with the national authorities in order to contribute to the fulfillment of the state's obligations in accordance with the commitments made by ratifying international human rights treaties.
