The Network participated in the annual regional training course
on human rights «Anabtawi 27» under the theme «Activating and
Protecting Human Rights in Armed Conflict Situations»
Al Jamali: What is happening in conflicts in the world is because
of continuous violations of human rights
The Executive Director of the
Arab Network, Mr. Sultan bin
Hassan Al Jamali, considered
that the past ten years of armed
conflicts in many regions of the
world, including the Arab region,
have been and continue
to be the result of the ongoing
violations of human rights guaranteed
by international human
rights law and International humanitarian
law.
Al Jamali, at the session of the
Arab Network at “Anabtawi 27”,
organized by the Arab Institute
for Human Rights in Tunisia on
the role of national human rights
institutions in conflict situations
which was held during the period
from October 1 to 9, 2017,
said it seems that humanity has
forgotten its pains resulting from
World Wars I and II, as well as
the subsequent wars and armed
conflicts.
The CEO of ANNHRI added
that human rights are universal
in nature and said: “The human
rights of all mankind, whether
they are men or women, are
not a favor by anyone, and are
permanent to every human being,
whether they are protected
or denied. These human rights
are not subject to waiver; even
if they are not recognized or
developed by their states.” He
further said: “Human rights are
developed and renewable in
keeping with each era, deeprooted
and include various aspects
of life.” He also hoped
to recognize these facts before
a series of tragedies and disasters
happen to humanity if
the same approach is followed
in managing armed and nonarmed
conflicts; otherwise, he
said, disapproval, denunciation
and rejection will be futile.
