Project Abstract

Abstract
Human rights are fundamental rights that every individual is entitled to by virtue of being a human being. These rights are enshrined in various international treaties, conventions, and declarations to protect individuals from abuses and ensure their dignity and well-being. The Public Complaint Commission plays a crucial role in safeguarding these rights by providing a platform for individuals to lodge complaints against violations of their rights by government agencies or public officials. This research project explores the intersection of human rights and the Public Complaint Commission in promoting accountability, transparency, and justice in governance. The study examines the legal frameworks that govern human rights and the mandate of the Public Complaint Commission in addressing human rights violations. It investigates the effectiveness of the Commission in redressing grievances and holding public officials accountable for their actions. By analyzing case studies and empirical data, the research assesses the impact of the Commission on promoting human rights protection and enhancing public trust in government institutions. Furthermore, the research delves into the challenges faced by the Public Complaint Commission in carrying out its mandate effectively. These challenges include limited resources, bureaucratic hurdles, and lack of independence from government influence. The study proposes recommendations to strengthen the Commission's capacity to address human rights violations promptly and effectively. Overall, this research project contributes to the existing literature on human rights protection and the role of oversight institutions in promoting accountability and transparency in governance. By highlighting the importance of the Public Complaint Commission in upholding human rights standards, the study underscores the need for robust mechanisms to address violations and ensure justice for individuals. It also emphasizes the role of civil society organizations and the media in monitoring the Commission's activities and advocating for human rights protection. Through a comprehensive analysis of the roles of human rights and the Public Complaint Commission, this research project provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities in promoting human rights and accountability in governance. The findings offer practical recommendations for policymakers, civil society organizations, and other stakeholders to enhance the effectiveness of oversight mechanisms and strengthen human rights protection in society.
