In the same context, Al Derazi stated that the final recommendations of the conference will be sent to a number of official entities in the Kingdom of Bahrain as well as to the relevant bodies to start activating them and include them in national laws and legislation, and to benefit from the experiences of other countries and find out the best practices in the field of alternative sanctions and measures.
