The National Institution for Human Rights (NIHR)’s Committee on Complaints, Monitoring and Follow-up has convened its 11th regular meeting, under the chairpersonship of Ms. Maria Khouri and membership of Mr. Khalid Al-Shaer and Mrs. Rawda Salman Al-Aradi.

During the meeting, the Committee reviewed the overall complaints received by the NIHR as well as requests for legal assistance and advice submitted by it, where the standard actions were taken and the concerned parties were contacted for follow-up.

On the other hand, the Committee adopted the Guide to Receiving Complaints and Requests for Legal Assistance and recommended that it be submitted to the Board of Commissioners at its next meeting for Approval. 

In addition, the Committee discussed a proposal on strengthening the community partnership based upon the NIHR’s desire to activate its role in promoting and spreading the culture of human rights in different regions of the Kingdom of Bahrain.

It is worth mentioning that the NIHR receives complaints and requests for legal assistance either personally or via the toll-free hotline 80001144, the NIHR’s website www.nihr.org.bh, or the NIHR Bahrain smartphone application.
