This article analyses national mechanisms for implementation, reporting and follow-up (NMIRF) as a key instrument for institutionalising states international human rights obligations. It examines the historical background to the development of NMIRF. their legal framework and their evolution within the United Nations system. Particular attention is paid to international standards and declarations that contribute to the strengthening of these mechanisms, including the Marrakesh and Asuncion Declarations. The paper outlines the main functions and responsibilities of NMIRFs, including interagency coordination, engagement with international bodies, consultative processes and digital monitoring of the implementation of recommendations. It analyses international and regional experience of NMIRF operations, as well as their institutional characteristics that ensure sustainability and effectiveness. Particular emphasis is placed on the experience of Uzbekistan, where a national model is being developed that combines elements of coordination, accountability and monitoring. The integration of the NMIRF with human rights indicators and national databases is examined as the basis for the transition to data-driven governance. In conclusion, it is argued that NMIRFs serve not only as a reporting tool but also as a strategic element of public administration, ensuring the systematic, measurable and sustainable fulfilment of international human rights obligations.
