Analysis of Tanzania’s National Human Rights Institution in Light of International Human Rights and Good Governance Principles

The Commission for Human Rights and Good Governance (CHRAGG) is an independent government agency established to serve as Tanzania’s national focal point for advancing and defending human rights. Protection of human rights and supervising the core principles of good governance is a vital duty of the National Human Rights Institutions. In order to guarantee the preservation of human rights and their promotion, the state must take all required steps as it is required to maintain democracy. The Commission for Human Rights and Good Governance Act, No. 7 of 2001, which came into effect on July 1st, 2001, marked the beginning of the Commission’s operations, the Commission was officially inaugurated in March 2002. The nation’s constitution typically should establish the terms of the agreement between the people and their representatives in government. A favourable environment for upholding the defence and advancement of human rights can only be established by the state’s constitution, which serves as a guide for relevant laws, organisations, and processes that frame government policy. The construction of significant ministries and institutions that comprise the government is a component of good administration. These entities are tasked with maintaining peace, creating the best conditions for the lives of citizens, and advancing democracy.
