Saudi MoJ: Up to 17K Applicants Register as Mediators, Nearly Half of Them Are Women

Saudi MoJ: Up to 17K Applicants Register as Mediators, Nearly Half of Them Are Women

Around 17,000 people have applied to the Mediation Center for registration as mediators, nearly half of them are women, revealed the Saudi Ministry of Justice (MoJ).

The MoJ’s Mediation Center had enabled such applications less than one month ago to allow individuals from commercial and non-profit organizations to practice mediation.

After electronic approval by the Mediation Center, the mediation records that will be issued are recognized as enforcement instruments.

“The applicants have various professions, including professors, doctors and lawyers; which enriches the reconciliation process and enhances outcomes,” the ministry said.

“In total, the applicants are committed to carry out over 220,000 voluntary mediation sessions,” the ministry explained.

“To complete the registration process, they will also have to take cognitive tests and interviews.”

Within the initiative for implementing the mediation system, Justice Minister Waleed al-Sama’ani had approved new mediation rules, aiming to promote mediation as an optimal option for resolving disputes.

OIC, MWL Condemn Escalation of Israeli Attacks in West Bank

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Thursday strongly condemned the attacks and crimes committed by Israeli forces in the West Bank, particularly in Jenin and its refugee camp.

In a statement, the OIC also condemned the destruction of roads and infrastructure in Jenin, and the establishment of military checkpoints and iron gates to isolate Palestinian cities and villages.

The OIC considered such actions as part of a broader pattern of war crimes against the Palestinian people.

The organization warned against the ongoing crimes perpetrated by extremist settler groups, operating with the protection of Israeli occupation forces, with the latest attack targeting several Palestinian villages, where property, homes, vehicles, and agricultural lands were set on fire.

It also held Israel directly accountable for such crimes and emphasized the need for accountability under international criminal law.

The OIC renewed its call on the international community to fulfill its responsibilities, put an end to the ongoing Israeli terrorism across the occupied Palestinian territories, and provide protection to the Palestinian people.

The Muslim World League (MWL) also strongly condemned the operation carried out by Israeli forces in Jenin.
In a statement issued Thursday, MWL Secretary-General and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa denounced this “grave violation,” stating that it adds to a series of ongoing and serious breaches of international and humanitarian laws, threatens further losses among innocent civilians, and undermines the chances of peace and stability in the region.
