ArmInfo. The Ombudsman's Office of Armenia has been included in the list of institutions under  threat, according to the 2024 report of the European Network of National Human Rights Institutions (ENNHRI). This was reported by the press service of the RA Ombudsman.

In particular, the report talks about the challenges faced by the  Office of the Ombudsman in carrying out work related to the  protection of the rights of women, persons with disabilities,  incitement to hatred, intolerance, combating discrimination, etc.  Along with the Office of the Ombudsman of Armenia, the report also  mentions other ENNHRI member institutions that have been subjected to  attacks, incitement to hatred or intimidation, including Belgium,  Cyprus, Estonia, Latvia, Moldova and Slovakia.

According to the assessment given in the report, the campaign against  the Human Rights Defender in Armenia is of an organized nature.

The European Network of National Human Rights Institutions reiterated  its support to the Armenian Human Rights Defender in his work to  promote and protect all human rights. ENNHRI has previously expressed  serious concerns and issued a statement regarding threats and attacks  against the Human Rights Defender and the staff of the office by  political figures due to the work carried out in the field of human  rights protection.
