Ten months have passed since the National Human Rights Commission (hereinafter the Commission) was established on 9 October 2001. It appears that by now the Commission has accumulated enough operational experience to warrant a critical reflection. This paper attempts to review both the main issues the fledgling Commission has confronted and the main decisions it has made during its formative period. This paper proceeds as follows. First, as background information, it briefly describes the current profile of the Commission. Next, it reviews the major issues surrounding the governance structure and the operational practices of the Commission. Then, it addresses the typical issues raised in the process of performing its statutory functions and evaluates the ways the Commission copes with such issues. Finally, it describes some of the sensitive human rights issues the Commission has to tackle and suggests effective ways of dealing with them.
