- The Sub-committee on Accreditation (SCA) of the Global Alliance of the National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI) recommending the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) of India be downgraded to B status.
- The Indian NHRC will now share its B grade with the National Human Rights Institutions of countries like Bangladesh, Libya, Bahrain and Turkey.
- In simple terms, this means the NHRC of India, cannot speak, submit documents officially, or vote at the United Nations Human Rights Council when the very recommendation becomes final.
- In 2016, the NHRC's A-grade accreditation was deferred by the GANHRI’s Sub-Committee on Accreditation (‘SCA’) for the first time.
- In 2023, the SCA deferred accreditation of NHRC for the second time.
