Justice: Amendments to Bolster Human Rights Independence
The legislative amendments established regarding the National Human Rights Institution Law in Kuwait aim to strengthen its legal and organizational independence. This includes changing its name from the "National Human Rights Office" to the "National Human Rights Institution," better reflecting the true nature and roles of the organization. The changes also involve reconstituting the Board of Directors to consist of five independent and full-time members, providing legal protection for Board members and staff, and regulating its financial resources through an attached budget that ensures the institution's independence. Additionally, government and non-governmental entities are obliged to cooperate and provide the necessary data. These measures collectively enhance its performance as an independent authority in accordance with international standards for human rights institutions.
