Consequently, the FHRC was suspended from (and later resigned from) the regional network of human rights bodies, the Asia Pacific Forum, and from the International Co-ordinating Committee, the co-ordinating and accreditation body for national human rights institutions (NHRIs).
This led to the FHRC's disassociation from (and later its decision to leave) the regional network of human rights organizations, the Asia Pacific Forum, and from the International Co-ordinating Committee, which was instrumental in promoting national human rights institutions.
