With regard to the questions asked by Pakistan, Panama, the Philippines, Germany, Timor-Leste and Argentina, the delegation of Andorra noted that the recommendation had already been made several times that Andorra establish a national human rights institution in accordance with the principles relating to the status of national institutions for the promotion and protection of human rights (the Paris Principles). The matter had been thoroughly considered and it had been found that there already was an institution in Andorra with the required mandate, the Office of the Ombudsman. The Ombudsman’s mandate had been broadened several times, bringing it closer to the requirements of the Paris Principles. The delegation also recalled that Andorra was a country of 77,000 inhabitants with a small administration, which made it difficult to create new institutions. 82. Commenting on a recommendation made by Portugal, the delegation indicated that the Government was preparing an integrated mental health plan to help prevent mental health disorders from arising and support recovery in a manner respectful of human rights.
