The Saudi Human Rights Commission (HRC) issued a detailed monitoring of the human rights situation in the various regions of the Kingdom, which included transparent documentation of cases of violations.

The report registered 164 cases of human rights violations in various regions over the past year, the HRC spokesperson said in a statement. Those included criminal justice, protection from abuse, health, social care, education, work, protection from human trafficking, identity and nationality, in addition to various other cases.

Saudi Arabia has launched several initiatives aimed at promoting and protecting human rights, including the HRC International Communication Program.

The Kingdom had taken a number of remarkable reform decisions, including abolishing the death penalty against minors and cancelling the punishment of flogging and replacing it with imprisonment or a fine or both, or alternative penalties such as providing social services.

Saudi Arabia condemned on Wednesday Israel’s publication of maps that show its occupation of parts of Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, claiming these territories as its own.

In a statement, the Saudi Foreign Ministry slammed such extremist acts that reflect Israel’s “intentions to consolidate its occupation and continue its flagrant violation of the sovereignty of those nations.”

Saudi Arabia called on the international community to assume is responsibility in stopping these violations, “stressing the need to respect the sovereignty and borders of these countries to ease tensions and put a stop to attempts to undermine peace efforts.”
