本文分析1999 年至2022 年這二十多年期間，馬來西亞國家人權委員會（SUHAKAM）的委員委任過程之演變。本文主要從委員的委任過程探 其對委員會表現的影響，包括公民社會透過國家人權機構全球聯盟介入所倡導的變革，這些變革內容部分被納入馬來西亞政府於2009 年針對馬來西亞國家人權委員會法令所提呈的修正案。本文總結委員的委任過程對委員會的表現有重大影響，而2009 年的變革，雖然是正向的發展，但整體來看仍有許多不足之處。本文認為 法令需要有更多的修正，才能真正確保國家人權委員會的獨立性和有效性。

 

 

This article analyses the evolution of appointment process of commissioners for the National Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (SUHAKAM) over a period of more than two decades, from 1999 – 2022. It seeks to examine the impacts the appointment process to the performance of the commission, including the changes advocated by civil society through interventions made with the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI), which were partly incorporated in the amendments made to the enabling law of SUHAKAM by the government of Malaysia in 2009. It found that the appointment process plays a crucial role in influencing the performance of the commission and that the changes made to the enabling law in 2009, while some were positive but overall left much to be desired. It concluded that the enabling law will need more amendments to truly ensure the independence and effectiveness of the commission.
