Other: Any claim of violation of human, civil and/or political rights.
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.

The Commission supplants the Ombudsman, established in 1980, 
but inherited all its power and authority as well as all complaints 
pending before it at the time of the establishment of the Commission.
