Since the publication of its 2020 report 'Strong and effective national human rights institutions – challenges, promising practices and opportunities', the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) has been regularly tracking the accreditation status and the mandates of the NHRIs. This December 2023 Update develops the annual update further and covers not only the accreditation status and the mandates, but also additional aspects, namely the role of NHRIs in the context of EU funds and the use of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.
