The NIHRC’s policy for granting legal assistance can be found below. Decisions to exercise the NIHRC’s legal powers are made by the Board of Commissioners.
The NIHRC can only formally support a few legal cases each year and these are cases which are identified as having a wide or strategic impact, for example where the outcome is likely to lead to a change in the law or policy.
Anyone wishing to seek the legal assistance of the NIHRC, should contact the legal team at legal@nihrc.org.
