Introduction: Given the prominent status of human rights and the importance of having strategies related to protecting, promoting and preserving them, and working towards improving and advancing the principles of human rights in the Kingdom of Bahrain, His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the Ruler of the Country, issued Law No. (26) of 2014 on the Establishment of the National Institution for Human Rights, as amended by Decree-Law No. (20) of 2016, to be a beacon of human rights awareness and home for expertise and advice, so as to further strengthen the frameworks of democracy and consolidate the pillars of the rule of law. Pursuant to Article (21) of the Law on the Establishment of the National Institution for Human Rights, which stipulates that, “The Council of Commissioners shall prepare an annual report on the efforts, work, and other activities of the Institution on human rights in the Kingdom, and any proposals and recommendations it deems suitable within the scope of its mandate, identifying the obstacles to performance and the solutions to surmount and avoid such. The Council of Commissioners shall present its report to the King, the Council of Ministers, the Council of Representatives, and Shura Council, and shall present its report, in parallel, to the public;” and complementing the consistent and systematic approach that the National Institution for Human Rights has been following towards issuing its annual reports periodically and consecutively, the Seventh Annual Report of 2019 complements the previous reports and chronicles the position of human rights in the civil, political, economic, social, and cultural fields. The Seventh Annual Report consists of four chapters preceded by an introduction. The First Chapter presents the origin and development of the work of the National Institution for Human Rights (NIHR), and its most prominent achievements and challenges in the field of promoting and protecting human rights on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of its establishment in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The Second Chapter sheds light upon the advisory opinions, which the NIHR has submitted to the constitutional authorities in the Kingdom, while the Third Chapter includes a review of the efforts and activities undertaken by NIHR in the field of promoting and protecting human rights. The Fourth and final Chapter is devoted to four issues that had an impact on the situation of human rights during the reporting period, namely, reviewing the extent of environmental impact and climate change on human rights, the extent to which the values of tolerance, peaceful coexistence and human rights are linked, the right to equal treatment for the elderly, as well as issues related to protecting the rights of expatriate workers in the Kingdom of Bahrain. 9
