On 2 June 2015, the Iraqi High Commission for Human Rights (IHCHR) – the Iraqi National Human Rights Institution (NHRI), created in April 2012 – was awarded the "B" status by the International Coordinating Committee of NHRIs (ICC) to mark the Iraqi NHRI's non-full compliance with the Paris Principles – a set of international standards relating to the status of NHRIs. To Alkarama, which had called upon the ICC to award it the "C" status to mark its full non-compliance of the Iraqi HCHR with international standards, the ICC's decision is a "vote of encouragement" to a newly created NHRI which must quickly incorporate the recommendations made by the ICC's Sub-Committee on Accreditation (SCA) that reviewed the IHCHR in March 2015.
