The Committee opened its agenda by reviewing all its previous resolutions and recommendations and discussing the actions taken thereupon.  It also studied a number of requests for opinion received by the NIHR from legislative authorities in the Kingdom of Bahrain regarding an amended version of a draft law adding a new article related to the Penal Code promulgated by the Decree Law No. (15) of 1976.

On the other hand, a proposal was made to coordinate a number of educational events and lectures that will target foreign school students with the aim of introducing the NIHR, its competencies and its role in the field of protecting and promoting human rights in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

The Committee concluded its agenda by discussing the outcomes of the meetings held with a number of civil society institutions, aimed at building bridges and bonds of cooperation with them in order to protect and promote human rights in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
