The setting up of national institution is one of the most effective
means to perform the various functions relating to the implementation of
human rights. Such an institution raised human rights awareness through
education, training, research and conduct impartial investigation into
alleged violations. It may also prove or secure effective redress either
by negotiation with the government concerned or may assist the victims
by providing relief through a court of law. The domestic institution of
human rights may also influence the legislators to preserve human rights
in the widest sense of the term and may also monitor government
compliance with treaty commitments.
