Kuwait city: Assistant Foreign Minister for Human Rights Office, Ambassador Sheikha Jawaher Al-Sabah, reiterated Kuwait's commitment to implementing international recommendations on involving civil society organizations in preparing national human rights reports. In a statement to KUNA on Monday, she highlighted the significance of exchanging ideas and proposals to achieve shared goals during a coordination meeting at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to Kuwait News Agency, the meeting aimed to document field data and prepare parallel reports for submission to relevant United Nations committees, including the UN Economic and Social Council and the UN Human Rights Council. The objective is to support the implementation of recommendations from international reports.
The meeting also sought to coordinate national efforts by briefing civil society organizations on the committee's action plan. This includes Kuwait's fourth national report on the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which is scheduled for presentation in October in Geneva, Switzerland.
The report will detail legislative, judicial, and administrative measures taken to implement the rights outlined in the covenant. Additionally, Sheikha Jawaher noted that the meeting discussed Kuwait's bid to regain membership in the UN Human Rights Council for the 2027-29 term, underscoring its commitment to promoting and protecting human rights both nationally and internationally.
