Riyadh: The 12th conference of officials responsible for human rights within Arab interior ministries kicked off in Cairo, with a strong emphasis on enhancing the organizational structure of human rights departments. Secretary-General of the Arab Interior Ministers Council, Dr. Mohammed bin Ali Koman, highlighted the significance of the discussions aimed at bolstering human rights practices and refining the capabilities of police forces in this important area.

According to Saudi Press Agency, Dr. Koman, during the opening session of the two-day conference, outlined the agenda that includes a detailed examination of a proposed organizational framework for the human rights departments within the interior ministries of Arab states. This initiative is designed to assist member states in evolving their organizational structures to better support human rights efforts.

Dr. Koman also drew attention to a critical session titled "Public Police Services from a Human Rights Perspective," which emphasizes that the role of security services transcends crime prevention and extends to delivering a variety of public services. He remarked that many Arab nations have embraced this philosophy through the establishment of community policing models, effectively reducing barriers between law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve.
