The Commission, an independent agency, was established in 1993 and has 10 regional offices. To be more accessible to the public, it plans to eventually staff 110 smaller district offices. The Commission was provided for in the Constitution of the Republic of Ghana adopted in 1992. The Commission consists of a Commissioner and two Deputy Commissioners, all of whom are appointed by the President in consultation with the Council of State. Absent death, removal from office, or resignation, the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioners may serve until the ages of seventy and sixty-five years respectively. The Commission's powers and authority are quite broad, including: the right to investigate complaints of violations of fundamental rights and freedoms, injustice, and abuse of power; complaints concerning public services and the organs of the state; and complaints about the practices and actions by persons, private enterprises and other institutions alleging violations of rights and freedoms protected by the constitution. The Commission is also empowered to investigate alleged or suspected corruption and the misappropriation of public moneys by officials. The Commission may go into court to enforce its decisions and to seek appropriate remedies.
The Commission has a Constitutional responsibility to educate the public as to human rights and freedoms. Its educational programs include publications, lectures, and symposia.
