tangible efforts made by the CSIs, as they have taken upon themselves the promotion and protection of the rights of this group through a set of effective programmes, initiatives and activities that have a tangible resonance at the societal level. 4.3 The NIHR appreciates the efforts exerted in issuing the National Human Rights Plan for the years (2022-2026)4, of which the NIHR contributed by sending a draft plan, through which it supports the efforts of the competent ministry in speeding up work on it and issuing it5, as well as the NIHR’s participation in the national consultations that preceded it with stakeholders and national partners, and to contribute to expressing observations and opinions on them, the NIHR hopes that this plan will serve as a road map towards spreading the culture of human rights among all, especially in the field of child rights. 4.4 Since the NIHR did not monitor any cases of the sale of children or their exploitation in prostitution or pornography, therefore the priority regarding this group was to raise awareness of their rights as stipulated in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, to which the Kingdom of Bahrain joined under Decree-Law No. (16) of 1991 to the Convention of Nations United on the Rights of the Child. 4.5 The NIHR was keen to detail its efforts and activities in the field of promoting and protecting human rights in general and child rights in particular in its annual reports from 2013 to 2022, all of which are available and published on the NIHR’s website in both Arabic and English6. 4.6 In cooperation with the UN treaty bodies, NIHR submitted its parallel report from the fourth to sixth periodic national report on the progress made in implementing the Convention on the Rights of the Child7, in which the institution dealt with its efforts and activities related to the rights of the child, and concluded a number of related recommendations. 4 5 6 7 To view the National Human Rights Plan for the years (2022-2026), please review the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: https://www.mofa.gov.bh/ To view the NIHR's proposal regarding the National Human Rights Plan, please see the official website of the Institution at the following link: https://www.nihr.org.bh/MediaHandler/GenericHandler/Consultative/2019/Gov/PDF/03.pdf https://www.nihr.org.bh/EN/eLibrary/?category=65 To view the parallel report of the National Institution for Human Rights on the national periodic report from the fourth to the sixth on the progress made in implementing the Convention on the Rights of the Child, please see the official website of the institution at the following link: https://www.nihr.org.bh/EN/About/Reports/R1 3
