Foreign Minister Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani highlighted the 2022 EU Human Rights Reports, which commended Bahrain’s record and cited the Kingdom’s key achievements in this field.

He stressed Bahrain’s commitment to respecting and promoting human rights, civic, political, economic, social and cultural rights and protecting the dignity of human beings, without any discrimination as to gender, origin, language, religion or creed.

The minister highlighted Bahrain’s strides within the development momentum led by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, who laid the foundations of democracy and parliamentary life, enshrining the separation of powers and their cooperation in accordance with the Constitution.

Dr Al Zayani, also Head of the National Human Rights Commission, lauded HM the King’s role in promoting the values of tolerance, peaceful coexistence between religions, civilisations and cultures, supported by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister.

He looked forward to stepping up cooperation with the European Union in the human rights, political and developmental fields, commending the outcome of the 6th Informal Human Rights Dialogue held on October 27, 2022 in Manama, which resulted in many joint projects and activities.

He reiterated Bahrain’s firm commitment to continuing human rights strides in line with its values and constitutional pillars that uphold human rights and dignity on the basis of equity and respect – within HM the King’s wise approach.
