RIYADH: Swiss Ambassador Dr. Andreas Schaller called on the president of Saudi Arabia’s Human Rights Commission, Awwad Al-Awwad, at his office in Riyadh on Tuesday.
During the meeting, they discussed several issues related to human rights. The Saudi rights chief highlighted the Kingdom’s measures for the protection of human rights.
Saudi Arabia is witnessing a qualitative leap in the field of human rights. The Kingdom’s Vision 2030 program is at the forefront of these reforms intended to focus on humans.
Among over 60 recent decisions made to improve the situation of human rights in the Kingdom, 22 were related to women.
Nine months after Saudi Arabia vowed to stop executing convicted minors, the kingdom is yet to revoke five death sentences, a Reuters investigation has found.
In April, Saudi Arabia’s Human Rights Commission (HRC) referred to a March decree by King Salman bin Abdulaziz, which indicated that those convicted for crimes committed as minors would serve prison terms of up to 10 years, instead of facing the capital penalty.
The decree did not stipulate a timeline for it to come into effect.
