Meeting

The General Rights and Freedoms Committee, chaired by Mr. Mohamed Juma Fuzaia, held its second meeting, which began with a follow-up on the measures taken regarding its previous recommendations, particularly those related to ongoing coordination to organize awareness activities in English for school students. This initiative aims to expand the scope of human rights awareness to include various segments of society, especially to educate young people and enhance their understanding of their rights and ways to protect them.

The planned activities will include a series of educational lectures designed to familiarize students with the role and functions of the National Institution for Human Rights (NIHR), as well as its key mandate in protecting and promoting human rights. To ensure the successful implementation of these activities, coordination and communication with relevant authorities are currently underway.

The Committee also reviewed a number of observations concerning advisory opinions received from the legislative authority. These were discussed, and the necessary comments were provided in preparation for submitting appropriate recommendations in this regard.
