RIYADH: Dr. Awwad Al-Awwad, president of the Kingdom’s Human Rights Commission, received Médecins Sans Frontières’ (MSF) humanitarian representative in the Middle East and North Africa, Antoine Bieler, in Riyadh on Sunday.
During the meeting, Al-Awwad highlighted the developments in the Kingdom led by King Salman in supporting human rights, and the pioneering reforms led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, which resulted in 60 decisions to promote human rights.
Last year on Human Rights Day, observed globally on Dec. 10, Al-Awwad said: “(Protection of) human rights is an issue of great international concern especially in light of the rise in wars, intolerance, terrorism, hatred and racism.”
