The National Institution for Human Rights (NIHR)’s Committee on Civil and Political Rights convened its 9th regular meeting under the Head of Dr. Badr Mohamed Adel and membership of Mrs. Dina Abdulrahman Al-Lazi and Mr. Ahmed Mahdi Al-Haddad. The meeting was held at the NIHR’s headquarters in the Seef District.

During the meeting, the Committee reviewed a draft law amending some provisions of the Reform and Rehabilitation Corporation Law promulgated by Law No. (18) of 2014, prepared on the basis of the proposed law (as amended) presented by the House of Representatives, and took appropriate decision.  The Committee further reviewed a proposal to develop a special form for follow-up of the parliamentary and municipal elections scheduled at the end of 2018 and decided to complete the discussion at the next meeting.

The Committee also examined the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals and decided to set up a schedule for those objectives that fall under its mandate and to work upon their identification and follow-up.
