The Permanent Committee for Human Rights (PCHR) is at the centre of the UAE’s ongoing efforts in protecting and promoting human rights.
Acting as the national liaison and coordinator between relevant ministries and human rights bodies within the UAE, the PCHR aims to advance the human rights agenda in line with internationally recognised standards.
The PCHR also works closely with global human rights organisations and partner countries to support progress and uphold human dignity.
The Permanent Committee for Human Rights (formerly named the National Human Rights Committee) was established by the Council of Ministers in October 2019. Its members include several UAE ministries and institutions.
The UAE is deeply committed to human rights and to further advancing these rights domestically and internationally. The PCHR is central to these efforts, and is dedicated to building upon the UAE’s progress in this space by coordinating relevant bodies in the UAE, as well as human rights organisations and partner countries worldwide, to drive forward positive change.
