protecting human rights, instilling its values, disseminating awareness, and guaranteeing the exercise and enjoyment of human rights.6 1.37 To enrich the scientific and knowledge aspects of human rights issues, the NIHR has complemented its efforts by launching the “Human Rights Culture” series in cooperation with the Centre for Constitutional and Legal Studies at the University of Bahrain as well as other researchers and interested individuals in this field from within the Kingdom and abroad, aiming at issuing a number of academic legal literature relevant to human rights. These books and studies dealt with various topics related to civil and political rights, such as: "The Death Penalty in National Legislation, International Covenants and Islamic Shari'a - Comparative Study", "Human Rights in the Code of Criminal Procedure”, and “Guarantees of Fair Trial According to the International Human Rights Standards”.7 1.38 This diverse legal series reflects the active role played by the NIHR in the promotion and dissemination of human rights culture, highlighting the most fundamental rights and freedoms set out in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the status of domestic legislation, as well as its conformity with the international standards. In addition, this series is accessible to all individuals, including those working in the law enforcement, to help them identify, and effectively exercise and enjoy such rights and freedoms. 6 7 Fore more information, please visit NIHR’s publications section (www.nihr.org.bh).
