The National Human Rights Committee (NHRC) has launched its strategic plan (2024-2030), on the occasion of Qatar Human Rights Day , which falls on November 11 every year, under the slogan (Human Rights .. A Sustainable Force towards a Better Future).
On this occasion, NHRC Chairperson HE Maryam bint Abdullah Al Attiyah said the interest in approving Qatar Human Rights Day embodies an aspect of the state’s interest and keenness to ensure respect for human rights as a fixed strategic option and a fundamental pillar of the sound management of the state institutions, the rule of law, and an indicator of the advancement and civilization of societies.
She explained during her speech at the inaugural ceremony that markingNovember 11 of each year as Qatar Human Rights Day , which coincides with the date of the establishment of the National Human Rights Committee (NHRC), reflects the state’s appreciation for the role of the committee in contributing effectively to promoting and protecting human rights at the national level, and supporting the human rights position of the State of Qatar in international and regional forums.
She noted that the celebration of Qatari Human Rights Day this year is of particular importance given that it coincides with the general referendum on the draft constitutional amendments, as these amendments were coupled with the blessing of all Qatari citizens, based on their convictions of their positive impact in promoting the values of equal citizenship, strengthening national cohesion and social fabric and supporting comprehensive development. page 16
