Third Session: Bahraini Regime Endangers International Peace and Security |
Second Session of the Fourth Human Rights International Conference was opened in Monday in the Lebanese capital headed by Mohammad Safa, Secretary General of Al-Khiyam Center for the Rehabilitation of Victims of Torture.
Speakers of the second session include Anwar Rashid, Chairman of the Gulf Forum of the Kuwaiti human rights and civil society institutions, Ahmad Omar from Egypt, the head of the International Centre for supporting freedoms and rights, Abdulwahab Hani, Chairman of the Tunisian delegation Party and head of the Arab Human Rights Organization, and the Kuwaiti MP dr. Abdul Hameed Dashti.
Rashid said that violations against human rights in the states have been increased lately, especially after the so-called "Arab Spring," calling for the respect of human rights and an end to the security treatment of political cases. He also urged the Arab ruler to understand the needs of the Gulf states for the right of expression and power sharing.
For his part, Ahmad Omar said that the lawful reality in Bahrain has reached a very serious stage, underlining the pressure exerted over the detainees in the Bahraini prisons.
Omar mentioned the Bahraini martyrs who were killed by shotguns, noting that this information will be submitted to the International Court of Justice in a move against the regime.
Abdul Wahab Hani, meanwhile, stressed that jurisprudence of human rights cannot be divided and guarantees the right to protest.
The Tunisian human rights activist said that the moral obligation of states has a very important value in the international law, saying that human rights are invaluable if not protected by law.
Hani stressed in his conclusion that recommendations of Bassiouni report (paragraph 1527) recommended to respect the ethnic diversity and the national reconciliation with society categories.
Moreover, the Kuwaiti MP Abdul Hameed Dashti said that the authorities in Bahrain endanger the international peace and security, stating that that human rights violations in Bahrain cannot be tolerated anymore.
"We, as activists, are ashamed of our disability before the Bahraini regime," stressing that activists should invent international mechanisms to activate the role of justice for the oppressed people in Bahrain, who are exposed to crimes against humanity on daily basis.
At the end of the session, a brief by the Greek Orthodox Archbishop, Atallah Hanna, lashed out in a televised speech at the violations against Bahrainis on sectarian grounds, stressing that political conflicts cannot be resolved by violence.
The Archbishop called on the Bahraini authorities to listen to the people's demands to address the crisis away from violence.
"Attacking peaceful protests is illegal," he said, saluting the conferees and noting that Jerusalemites hope that the greater good will prevail in Bahrain.
