OHRC organises workshop on preparing first National Human Rights Strategy
Muscat: Oman Human Rights Commission (OHRC) is organizing a set of workshops on analysing the current status of the National Human Rights Strategy in the Sultanate of Oman, with emphasis on legal, regulatory and procedural aspects. The workshops' opening ceremony was held under the auspices of Dr. Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Sa'eedi, Minister of Justice and Legal Affairs. The three-week workshops seek to furnish grounds for drafting the first comprehensive national human rights strategy in the Sultanate of Oman. They aim to identify major challenges, explore opportunities and ensure that the strategy's goals are implementable and measurable in the short and long terms. The workshops, which will run until 3 July 2025, aim to review the current situation in the Sultanate of Oman in terms of civil, political, economic, social, cultural and environmental factors. They represent one of the basic stages for preparing a 'national strategic document' featuring precise and realistic understanding of the human rights situation in the Sultanate of Oman. The workshops aim to assess the progress made in all areas of human rights by analysing legal, regulatory and procedural aspects. They focus on the clarity of governance and monitoring the value of indicators. The workshops will help formulate realistic and time-bound strategic objectives that can be used to develop future executive plans and establish performance indicators, evaluation and follow-up. -ONA
