Furthermore, the unique legislative foundation and pluralistic composition of NHRIs, in accordance with the Paris Principles, enable them to contribute to conflict resolution, including through dialogue between public authorities and civil society groups at national level, Urging therefore the enhancement of the role and participation of NHRIs in the international human rights system, National Human Rights Commission Annual Report - 2004-2005 325 AR-Chapter-1-19-10-6-06.p65 345 7/17/06, 6:31 PM
