In December 2001 the Parliament adopted a decision about the establishment of the Coordinating Committee for the Development and Implementation of the National Human Rights Action Plan, its composition and regulation. At the request of the Government, in January 2002, under the global HURIST Programme, UNDP launched a project "Support to the Development of the National Human Rights Action Plan in the Republic of Moldova" .
