Kuwait cooperating with human rights organizations

GENEVA: Kuwait’s permanent representative to the UN and other international organizations in Geneva Ambassador Nasser Al-Hain affirmed on Tuesday underscored Kuwait’s keenness to continue the existing cooperation with international human rights organizations, including the UN’s Human Rights Council.

In a meeting with the President of the Human Rights Council Argentine Ambassador Federico Vallejas, the two sides reviewed the difficult challenges facing human rights in different regions of the world due to wars, conflicts and disasters.

In a statement to KUNA, Al-Hain affirmed that Kuwait actively participates in all the council’s work since its establishment, as it was among the forty-seven members of the council between 2012 and 2014. Al-Hain reiterated to Ambassador Vallejas Kuwait’s support for efforts made by the international human rights organization.

The Human Rights Council highlights the suffering of many, especially Palestinians, who are subjected to a long series of violations of their basic rights at the hands of Zionist occupation authorities, added Al-Hain. He also stressed the important role played by the council as an intergovernmental body within the UN that is responsible for protecting human rights around the world, addressing violations and making recommendations for it. – KUNA
