From Gulf to global governance
Bahrain's entry to the United Nations Security Council has drawn praise from lawmakers, who described the vote as a clear nod to the Kingdom's conduct on the world stage. Shura Council Chairman Ali bin Saleh Al Saleh extended congratulations to His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and to His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, following Bahrain's victory in yesterday's ballot at the UN General Assembly in New York. The Kingdom secured 186 votes, granting it a non-permanent seat for the 2026 to 2027 term. Al Saleh said the result showed the standing of HM the King's approach abroad, firm, measured, and grounded in mutual respect. He called it part of a broader story, one built over years, in which Bahrain had carved out a place as a steady hand in matters of peace and security. The Shura head spoke of the country's path as one shaped by values rather than volume. Bahrain, he said, had long championed peaceful co-existence, freedom of belief, and neighbourly exchange. These were not imported slogans but principles rooted in the constitution and set out clearly in the National Action Charter.

Bahrain Hosts First International Conference on Alternative Sanctions
TDT | Manama "Alternative sentencing is not a reward, it is a lifeline for those willing to walk the right path." "Alternative sentencing is not a reward, it is a lifeline for those willing to walk the right path.' His Excellency General Shaikh Rashid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa, Minister of Interior, declared during the opening of the First International Conference on Alternative Sanctions, held in Manama with broad Arab and international participation. The conference marks a pivotal moment in Bahrain's legal and humanitarian reform journey, showcasing the Kingdom's commitment to justice that is balanced with compassion and social responsibility. HE the Minister noted that Bahrain is currently experiencing a profound era of renaissance and reform, inspired by the visionary leadership of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa. 'This prosperous era is deeply rooted in values of humanity, justice, and wisdom,' he said. 'We have moved forward under His Majesty's vision to uphold human dignity and safeguard our humanitarian and cultural legacy.' He emphasized that the alternative sentencing initiative is one of the cornerstones of this reform era, a programme that reflects Bahrain's belief in second chances and community rehabilitation. Not a Reward, but a Responsibility Clarifying a common misconception, the Interior Minister stressed that alternative sanctions are not intended as leniency for dangerous offenders. 'They are not granted to those who pose a threat to public safety or social peace,' he said. 'Rather, they are designed for individuals who have recognised their mistakes, taken responsibility, and committed to reintegrating into society.' He described the programme as a humanitarian initiative that strengthens national trust, reunites families, and enhances a legal culture rooted in accountability and reform. Centre of Excellence In a significant announcement, the Minister revealed plans to establish the Centre of Excellence for Alternative Sanctions and Open Prisons, a regional hub that will train and qualify professionals involved in implementing alternative sentencing. 'This centre will help advance the system further and share Bahrain's successful model with neighbouring countries,' he stated. He added that the initiative reflects the Kingdom's growing influence in regional justice reform and will serve as a beacon for other nations looking to modernise their penal systems. Since its inception, Bahrain's alternative sentencing and open prison programme has earned recognition on the local, regional, and international levels. Developed in partnership with the Public Prosecution, the programme is rooted in the principle that while justice must be served, it should also provide avenues for redemption and rehabilitation. 'Every person, despite their setbacks in life, deserves a chance to correct their behaviour,' the Minister affirmed.
