This article concerns Article 33(2) of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities (CRPD or Convention) which provides that States should designate or
establish one or more independent mechanisms to promote, protect and monitor the
implementation of the Convention taking into account the Paris Principles. It analyses
the content of Article 33(2) with a view to determining if national human rights
institutions (NHRIs) should be designated independent mechanisms. The article adopts
a two-pronged approach by explaining the functions of NHRIs and by evaluating their
suitability to play the role of independent mechanisms. After explaining the importance
of national monitoring, the article discusses the Paris Principles and the role of NHRIs
and examines whether these institutions should exercise the functions of independent
mechanisms. It also deals with cooperation between these mechanisms and the other
actors mentioned in Article 33. Finally, the article analyses the consequences for NHRIs
of the reference to the Paris Principles in Article 33(2) of CRPD.
