2. T  he NIHR made it clear in its views that the rights of children require special protection that is different from the rest of the rights in its content and nature. Satisfying these rights requires the provision of a sound healthy psychological and social environment. This calls for continuing to improve the situation of children without discrimination, as well as nurturing and raising them in conditions of peace and security and keeping them away from the manifestations of exploitation that may expose them to risk. The NIHR stresses that it is inadmissible to involve children or force them into political conflicts, as the protection of children from political exploitation is one of the most genuine elements to protect their right to survive and thrive, to be able to contribute to community building and development. This was confirmed by the Constitution of the Kingdom of Bahrain in paragraph (a) of Article (5) thereof, which stipulates that: “The family is the basis of society, deriving its strength from religion and morality. The law preserves its lawful entity, strengthens its bonds and values, under its aegis extends protection to mothers and children, tends the young, protects them from exploitation, and safeguards them against moral, bodily, and spiritual neglect,” and article No. (1) of the law under amendment to conform with the mentioned constitutional text. 3. Accordingly, the NIHR is in agreement with the amendment of the provision of article No. (60) of the mentioned law. It believes that this amendment is in line with the Kingdom’s international obligations resulting from joining or ratification of the relevant international treaties on human rights, most notably the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, adopted by the General Assembly in November 1989. The Government of the Kingdom of Bahrain acceded to the Convention in 1991, and became part of the national legislation pursuant to article No. (37) of the Constitution, thus completing the umbrella of legal protection of children from all aspects of exploitation that might face them, whether paid or free of charge. 33
