The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) (Amharic: የኢትዮጵያ ሰብዓዊ መብቶች ኮሚሽን) is a national human rights institution (NHRI) established by the Ethiopian government. The EHRC is charged with promoting human rights and investigating human rights abuses in Ethiopia. The EHRC states organizational independence as one of its values.[1] In October 2021, the EHRC's rating by the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions for operation in accordance with the UN Paris Principles was upgraded from grade B (partial compliance) to grade A (full compliance).[2][3]
Not to be confused with the Ethiopian Human Rights Council (EHRCO), an Ethiopian non-governmental organisation.
