The Arab Human Rights Committee of the Arab League (AHRC) convened its 17th session at the headquarters of the Arab League General Secretariat on Monday. A delegation from the Arab Charter on Human Rights visited Doha end of September to learn about the efforts made by Qatar in this regard. Also, Head of the Arab Parliament Human Rights Committee Elwi el Basha urged the Arab countries to accelerate their measures to join the Arab human rights court's statute in order to start its operation soon, noting that it will be a vital and key mechanism to enhance the Arab system of human rights. El Basha said the Arab parliamentarians have been working on enhancing the Arab human rights system and the current strategy of the Arab parliament addresses much attention to this issue. He also noted that the Arab Observatory for Human Rights has been created by the Arab parliament as an independent body to detect and document human rights conditions in the Arab countries.
