"In a statement to the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI), the UN's regulator of national human rights institutions (NHRI), on Friday (5 September), the organisation called for the EHRC to be stripped of its "A status" accreditation for breaching the Paris Principles, which set the minimum standard NHRIs must meet to be considered credible by the UN."
"In a report published in June 2024, the regulator's sub committee on accreditation said the EHRC must follow its recommendations to keep its A status, which included ensuring "pluralism and diversity" in its membership and staff, and engaging with civil society organisations such as trans rights groups. The Lemkin Institute has now claimed the EHRC had failed to do so, accusing it instead of erasing "decades of established practice protecting transgender and intersex people"."
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention called on GANHRI to revoke the Equality and Human Rights Commission's "A status" accreditation, alleging the commission plays a key role in a transparent attempt to eradicate transgender and intersex people from British life. The institute claimed the EHRC has undergone an institutional takeover and been captured by transphobic and inter-phobic people and agendas, calling the continued accreditation a disgrace. GANHRI upheld the EHRC's status last year but required the commission to ensure pluralism and diversity in membership and staff and to engage with civil society, including trans rights groups. The Lemkin Institute alleges the EHRC failed to meet those requirements and erased decades of established practice protecting transgender and intersex people.
