The report consists of five chapters preceded by an introduction. Chapter I discusses the inception and development of NIHR, as well as its legal framework and organizational structure. NIHR efforts in human rights promotion and protection are reviewed, with reference to its strategy and action plan for the years (2013 - 2016). It also highlights the cooperation among the relevant ministries and agencies side by side with NIHR on the complaints received, or in the process of preparing NIHR annual report. Chapter II tackles a number of civil and political rights, such as the right to life; the right to physical and moral integrity; the right to liberty and security of person; the right to a fair trial; the right to citizenship; the right to freedom of opinion and expression; the right to peaceful assembly; and the right to organization. Chapter III deals with the economic, cultural and social rights, such as the right to an adequate standard of living; the right to work; combating trafficking in persons; the right to health, and the right to education. Chapter IV is dedicated to reviewing the most important civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights of the most vulnerable groups, such as women, children, the disabled, and the elderly. The last chapter highlights the major issues with a direct bearing on the reality of human rights in the Kingdom of Bahrain, namely, the issue of Bahrain National Dialogue and corruption. Finally, NIHR hopes that this report will be a tool for reforming human rights reality in the Kingdom, in line with its international obligations arising from its ratification of or accession to human rights international instruments, or those generated by the universal periodic review before the Human Rights Council. The ultimate objective of this report is to achieve the best practices as to enjoying the various rights and public freedoms, and turn human rights into a lifestyle. 9
