Abstract: | China should study the National Human Rights Institution(NHRI) mechanism, establish a NHRI and take the issue seriously. The author firstly points out that NHRIs play the roles of "actors for change", "urgers for reason" and "protectors for rights", which make them possible for protecting human rights. Secondly, China's current human rights protection mechanism has some imperfections, which can be improved by the NHRI, therefore, the establishment of a NHRI in China becomes a necessity. Finally, the author puts forward feasible suggestions on the type, principles, functions and implementing steps for the establishment of a NHRI in China. |
