Role of law-enforcement authorities workshop ends [Archives:2002/18/Local News]

A training workshop was concluded last week on human rights and the role of law-enforcement authorities. More than 40 participants took part at the workshop which was organized by the National Committee for Human Rights in cooperation with the United Nations Higher Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
The workshop aimed at enhancing the law-enforcement authorities awareness on adhering to human rights standards and applying the internationally ratified human rights convents.
Dr. Waheeba Farea, state minister for human rights, said that the workshop will enable the participants to profoundly understand laws and regulation related to human rights. She also noted that a new law on children will be enacted in the near future.
Chairman of the Presidents Office, vice-chairman of National Committee of Human Rights, said that this workshop came to translate into practice the joint agreements between the committee and the UNHCR.
Al-Anesi hoped that the individual misconduct committed at law-enforcement authorities will come to an end.
