The Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993, which governs the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), lists several functions of the Commission. These include (among others): (i) Encourage the efforts of non-governmental institutions and organisations working in the field of human rights (explicitly mentioned in Section 12(h)). (ii) Undertake and promote research in the field of human rights (explicitly mentioned in Section 12(g)). Therefore, both statements accurately reflect the functions of the NHRC.
