The tasks and achievements of the National Institution for Human Rights during
the years (2019 - 2020 - 2021)
During the time frame of its previous strategy and action plan, the NIHR was able to
successfully achieve (92%) of its objectives, in a manner that satisfies the performance
indicators standards set in this regard. However, in view of the exceptional circumstances
that have occurred in the world as a result of the spread of the Covid-19, the concerned
authorities in the Kingdom took the relevant precautionary measures, which began with
the suspension of studies in public and private schools and kindergartens, and included
a main focus on avoiding gatherings or attendance of public events, the NIHR, like the
rest of the official authorities, postponed all activities scheduled from March 2020
Continuing to implement the strategy, as well as continuing the institution's role in
spreading a culture of human rights among the various segments of society in accordance
with relevant international standards, constituted a major challenge for the NIHR in light
of the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, as it had to overcome all difficulties to reach the
largest possible segment of society, taking into account the respect and implementation
of all precautionary measures taken by the Kingdom in this regard, and as a result, the
NIHR launched a number of awareness projects and targeted initiatives, organizing
training programs, workshops and round tables remotely using electronic means and
modern technology for visual communication.
