Dr. Al-Aiban: Saudi Arabia Takes Procedures Enhancing and Protecting Rights of the Child in accordance with International Standards
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 01 - 10 - 2018

Dr. Bandar bin Mohammed Al-Aiban, Chairman of the Human Rights Commission of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, who also led the Kingdom's delegation to the 79th Session of the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in Geneva, affirmed that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is moving towards the best levels of promotion and protection of the human rights, including the rights of the child based on its principles based on Islamic law, which prohibits and criminalizes the violation of rights.
During the 97th session with regard to the Kingdom's two reports on the optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography and optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflicts, Al-Aiban said that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, under leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and HRH the Crown Prince, has taken a number of procedures aiming at protecting the human rights and the child rights against any violations.
Before the Committee on the Rights of the Child "CRC", Dr. Al-Aiban condemned the activities of the Houthi terrorists of recruitment and enlistment of children on the fighting fronts in Yemen, affirming that this recruitment represents the main cause of child victims in Yemen. He pointed out, in this regard, that the proportion of child soldiers who are fighting in the ranks of the Houthi militias represent one third of the strength of the militia elements.
"Due to absence of education in Yemen and the spread of poverty, the Houthi militias forced the Yemeni children to join armed conflicts," he said, affirming that all military operations implemented by the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen are in accordance with the provisions of the international humanitarian law and international human rights law.
