In addition, the NIHR took part in the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI) meetings held in Switzerland.

During the APF meeting, several important matters were discussed, including the performance report for 2024, the setting of gender goals for national human rights institutions in the coming year, the approval of the financial report, and the confirmation of accreditation classifications for forum members for 2024.
