– The values of human rights have been firmly entrenched in Kuwait’s constitution since the country’s independence, a Kuwaiti diplomat said on Tuesday, stressing that such a policy is aligned with relevant global conventions.

Kuwait has sought to ensure that its constitution would serve as the “political and legal bedrock” of national efforts to protect human rights, Assistant Foreign Minister for Human Rights Affair Talal Al-Mutairi said amid pan-Arab talks to discuss his country’s inaugural report on human rights.

On the outcome of the talks in the Egyptian capital, he said the session was both “fruitful and productive,” adding that measures to protect human rights run the gamut from the proportionate distribution of healthcare services to equal education for all.

These measures are appreciated and supported across the wider Arab region, added the diplomat, highlighting that Arab states attach equal importance to human rights issues.
