  • India: Appointment of New Chairperson and Members Undermines Human Rights Commission’S Independence and Credibility
    India: Appointment of new Chairperson and members undermines Human Rights Commission’s independence and credibility (Bangkok, 10 June 2021) ‒ The new appointments to the National Human Rights Commission of India (NHRCI), especially Justice Arun Kumar Mishra as the Chairperson, raises serious concerns on the independence and credibility of the country’s human rights body, said the Asian NGO Network on National Human Rights Institutions (ANNI), an initiative by the Asian Forum for Human Rights and Development (FORUM-ASIA). The opaque appointment process, lack of plurality and diversity in the membership, absence of a consultative process, in addition to the appointment of a former Supreme Court judge whose tenure was riddled in controversy, contravene the Paris Principles.1 On 2 June 2021, President Ram Nath Kovind appointed Justice Mishra as the NHRCI’s new Chairperson, a position that had been vacant for almost six months since the former Chairperson, Justice H.L. Dattu completed his tenure. Other newly appointed members include the former Chief Justice of Jammu and Kashmir High Court, Mahesh Mittal Kumar, and the former Director of Intelligence Bureau, Rajiv Jain, who were all recommended by a selection committee2 led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. ‘The closed-door selection process, without publicising vacancies, fails to meet the prescribed minimum standards set by the Paris Principles and its General Observations. The lack of a participatory and merit- based selection process without broad consultation has resulted in the selection of several unqualified commissioners with poor track records on human rights. It erodes the institutional legitimacy of, and public confidence in, the NHRCI,’ said Shamini Darshni Kaliemuthu, the Executive Director of FORUM-ASIA, the Secretariat of ANNI.
