Kuwait re-affirms concern over Rohingya plight

Kuwait has expressed deep distress and concern at flagrant breaches of the Rohingya people's rights, namely their right to live.
The official Kuwaiti stance was re-affirmed by Jawaher Ibrahim Al Duaij Al Sabah, the state First Secretary, in her address on behalf of the permanent mission to the UN, to a United Nations General Assembly's session about human rights.
The First Secretary regretted the on-going grave breaches of human rights in many regions across the globe, posing "an extremely complex challenge to the international community which should deal with it with care and wisdom.
“It is extremely regretful that "most of these challenges are happening in our region where the fire of armed strife continues to rage in more than one area, threatening livelihood of sisterly peoples and violating basic rights of weak communities resulting in their relocation,” she said, quoted by Kuwait News Agency (KUNA).
Kuwait condemns in strongly-worded language continuous occupation of the Palestinian territories by the Israeli forces and their blatant acts of abuse against the unarmed Palestinian people, neglecting the international law, the international humanitarian law and various relevant resolutions of the Security Council, Jawaher added in her statement during the session, during which attendees debated the 67th article of the agenda, "the Human Rights Council Report."
The Kuwaiti representative called for updating national and international legislations on human rights in tandem with developments happening across the world, nowadays.
Currently, Kuwait looks forward to a visit by the special rapporteurs on adequate housing and persons with disabilities.
It continuously aspires to boost cooperation with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, hoping to see the international community shouldering its responsibilities to back him in his mission for boosting and safeguarding human rights as a global cause.
