Official

RA Human Rights Office has placed an order to become a member of International Coordination Committee (ICC) dealing with human rights protection and their promotion. The members of the ICC must meet the Parisian principles.

The Committee has the following four statuses;

1. A – Compliance with the Parisian principles

2. A (R) – reserve accreditation, when additional information is required to grant A status.

3. B – status of an observer, when the establishment either meets the Parisian principles partially or hasn't submitted all the necessary information to make a final decision.

4. C - the establishment doesn't meet the Parisian principles at all. The RA Human Rights Office has been granted A status, reports the office.

The status will help Armenia to participate in the sessions of the newly formed Human Rights Council of the UNO, submit written and verbal announcements and participate in the discussion of the disputable issues.
