CAIRO (WAM)
The 64th meeting of the Arab Charter on Human Rights Committee will commence on Monday, at the headquarters of the Arab League’s General Secretariat in Cairo.
The two-day meeting, running from January 27 to 28, 2025, will discuss the second periodic report submitted by the United Arab Emirates.
Committee Chairman, Jaber Al Marri, stated that this meeting reflects the UAE’s commitment to implementing the provisions of the Arab Charter on Human Rights.
He highlighted that submitting the report, submitted in September 2024, underscores the country’s dedication to promoting human rights at both the national and regional levels.
In a statement on Sunday, Al Marri noted that the 27th session of the committee will review the progress made by the UAE in fulfilling its legal obligations under the charter.
He added that the session will feature an interactive dialogue between the committee members and the UAE delegation, which includes representatives from various government entities.
Al Marri further explained that the committee visited the UAE in December last year, where it reviewed the activities of governmental and non-governmental institutions concerned with human rights.
During the visit, the committee also met with officials from the ministries of Foreign Affairs, Interior, Labour, and Justice, in addition to representatives from several civil society organisations.
