In its pursue to develop a mechanism for comprehensive periodical review and in response to the exigency of work and variables, he added, the Government of my country reaffirms the significance of abiding by principles included in resolution 1/5, the most important is to run the revision process in an objective, transparent, constructive, neither belligerent, nor vindictive and nor politicized.
He renewed the Government of Kingdom commitment to its voluntary obligations it made before the Council of Human Rights, in collaboration with the comprehensive and periodical review's mechanism and to back it, as it is the main tool for the council's function and an ideal instrument to attain its goals which it was established for, ahead of which is to evaluate human rights case, subjectively, in order to consolidate world respect of all human rights and basic liberties for all, indiscriminately and in a fair and responsible means.
The President of the SHRC made it clear that the Kingdom has proposed more than 225 recommendations on a dozen of human-rights-related issues, which has been of great interest and well deliberated in more than one level, at the board of the SHRC and then in a top level panel that has been formed of 13 governmental bodies to review the recommendations.
In parallel and with the same importance, a number of meetings has taken place in different regions of the Kingdom, which witnessed the participation of representatives of national human rights' institutions, civic society organizations, academic bodies, active socialites, men and women, in the domain of human rights to discuss the recommendations and propose means of vivid implementation, drawing the attention that these wide scale meetings have made crystal clear a comprehensive national vision, on which the Government of my country depend on in evaluating its position towards these recommendations, he added.
Pointing to the wide-scale consultations, which have taken place last November and concluded in supporting and partially supporting 188 recommendations and not supporting only 37 recommendations, either for contradiction with the principles of Sharia, the provisions of the rule statute and the society's values and culture, or for straying away of the principles of the review itself, as it contained unfounded claims, he stated.
On implementing the recommendations, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has directed all pertinent bodies to make apply required measures to implement the recommendations which have been approved and the SHRC will work with all pertaining government and the civic society agencies to follow up implementing the directive, asserting that 88 recommendations which have been approved or partially approved have taken force on the reality or are underway to be implemented.
