Today is the day 🤗 – we can't wait for the #ENNHRI2024 General Assembly to start later this afternoon! Running until tomorrow lunchtime, over 90 representatives from 45+ #NHRIs across #Europe are coming to Brussels 🇧🇪 for the occasion. Each year, the General Assembly gathers the network to consider 💭 crucial network matters - looking both back and forward. Alongside reporting on the activities of the last few months, we’ll kick off the development of our upcoming Strategic Plan 🎯 and hold elections 🗳️ for future ENNHRI office holders. In addition, we'll look at how #NHRIs are responding to the #humanrights impacts of securitisation. The next two days are also an ideal moment to (re)connect with new and familiar faces from across the network 🤝 . This morning already saw Chairs and representatives of our 9 Working Groups meeting to discuss their work. Later, they’ll present this 🗣 to the General Assembly. In addition, an induction for new heads of institutions allowed them to meet ENNHRI's Board and find out more about ENNHRI membership 🌐 . The induction forms part of ENNHRI’s Leadership Programme. Stay tuned and follow #ENNHRI2024 👀 for all the developments today and tomorrow!

What a first day we’ve had here at the #ENNHRI2024 General Assembly in Brussels ✨ . We opened with reflections on recent milestones and activities. ENNHRI’s Chair, Louise Holck, underlined the network’s continued progress in enhancing #humanrights promotion 📢 and protection 🛡 despite increasingly challenging circumstances. She highlighted recent assistance to members undergoing accreditation and while coming under threat. Next, ENNHRI’s Secretary General, Debbie Kohner, expanded on how the network has continued supporting, strengthening and connecting its members and ensuring their expertise is at the forefront of regional #humanrights work. This has included engagement on landmark policies on artificial intelligence (AI); a new regional rule of law ⚖ report and tool to explore this; deepening NHRI knowledge 🧠 on AI and securitisation; and much more. ENNHRI’s Working Groups sit at the heart ❤️ of the network. Chairs and representatives from our nine Groups presented 🗣 the wealth of work they are engaging in. This encompasses peer exchange, regional engagement, and more across a wide variety of topics. After considering what has happened, the time was ripe to turn to the upcoming. Coming together in small groups, our members kicked off the development of our new Strategic Plan 📃 . They outlined various national challenges to address, potential opportunities to embrace, and the possible role to outline for ENNHRI in the Plan. This rich input will spur the initial phase of the Plan’s conception. The Plan will come into effect in 2026. #ENNHRI2024 attendees also learnt more about our regranting programme, discovering the stories behind some of the nine national projects on vital human rights topics. See full details on the dedicated page ➡ ennhri.org/our-work/nhri-reg… We have an exciting progamme coming tomorrow. Alongside exploring the #humanrights impacts of securitisation, ENNHRI members will cast their votes 🗳 to elect representatives for new governance positions.
