The Human Rights Commission condemned here today the intervention of the Canadian Government, in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and pointed out that this is a flagrant violation of the relevant international conventions and norms. The commission pointed out that the violation of the independence of the judiciary, in the Kingdom, and its judicial procedures is totally unacceptable, outrageous and totally inadmissible, reaffirming that the investigation and trial procedures, in the Kingdom, provide the accused with all the safeguards guaranteed to him, in accordance with the regulations, in force, in the Kingdom and the international conventions of which the Kingdom is a party, as reflected by reports presented by the Kingdom, in full transparency and clarity, before the United Nations contractual bodies. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the commission emphasized, as it reaffirms the importance of protecting and promoting human rights, it, at the same time, rejects politicization of human rights and selectivity. Saudi Arabia stresses respect of sovereignty of all states and non-interference in their internal affairs and in implementation of such a well-established international principle, the Kingdom doesn't never accept and would never ever accept interference in its internal affairs, or violation of its national sovereignty, including its independent judiciary, judicial systems and penal procedures, under any pretext, whatsoever it might be.
