Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Albudaiwi launched on Sunday the "Gulf Legislation Platform" that allows the review of unified Gulf legislation issued within the framework of joint Gulf action.

It provides a unified electronic reference that helps in supporting legislative and legal work across Gulf countries, said a statement by the GCC General Secretariat.

During the launch at the General Secretariat headquarters, Albudaiwi hailed the efforts of those in charge of the initiative, which came in implementation of the decision of the Standing Committee of Officials of Legislation Departments in the GCC States at its 19th meeting.

The committee had approved the General Secretariat's proposal to establish this specialized platform to streamline access to unified Gulf and national legislation.

The platform provides advanced search services that enable government and legal entities in the member states, alongside specialists, researchers, and those interested in legislative affairs, to access and review unified Gulf legislation and national legislation with efficiency and ease.

This boosts the exchange of legal expertise and supports legislative coordination and integration among the Council states. The platform currently boasts more than 24,700 legal and legislative documents.

The first phase of the project covers Bahrain and Oman, while the relevant authorities at the General Secretariat continue to work on completing the link with the remaining member countries.

The clearance operations included 98 anti-tank mines, 18 anti-personnel mines, 1,927 unexploded ordnance items, and two improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

This brings the number of mines cleared since the beginning of June to 2,843, while the total removed since the launch of the Masam project has reached 567,182.

These mines had been indiscriminately planted across various parts of Yemen, posing a threat to civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.

Through KSrelief, Saudi Arabia continues to support mine-clearance operations across Yemen under the Masam project, helping to protect civilians from the dangers posed by landmines and explosive remnants of war
