The deliberations also assessed the law's alignment with existing national legislation and regulations, as well as its consistency with international agreements to which the Sultanate of Oman is a party in this domain. The Council held its eighth meeting for the second annual session (2024–2025) of the tenth term on Wednesday, under the chairmanship of Hamoud Ahmed Al Yahyaei, Head of the Committee, in the presence of Committee members.
