***The Commission office will be closed for the holidays from Tuesday 24 December – Thursday 26 December (inclusive) and on 1 January 2025.***

The Commission sets out key priorities and areas of work in our Strategic Plan 2022-2025.

The Strategic Plan identifies the five priorities that will guide the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission’s work for the next three years. It includes our commitments and how we will achieve them.


The five strategic priorities are:

  1. To keep under review law and practice and advise government for the benefit of everyone across Northern Ireland.
  2. To ensure that rights protection is not diminished as a result of United Kingdom having left the European Union and where required ensure that Northern Ireland keeps pace with changes in European Union equality laws.
  3. To build a society in which human rights are better understood, protected and valued, making a positive impact upon the delivery of services.
  4. To work in partnership with other human rights and equality bodies to maximise human rights protection.
  5. To be a learning organisation, improving our skills to achieve the greatest impact.


Our annual reports outline progress in these areas.
