سلطنة عمان و تطبيق آليات الهيئات الدولية لحماية حقوق الإنسان

Abstract EN

The importance of the research lies in the inadequacy of studies and research in dealing with the aspects shown by the Sultanate of Oman in the field of human rights, and the presence of many legal texts that support the human rights of citizens and foreigners in the Sultanate of Oman.

The Sultanate of Oman adheres to international obligations, highlighting the Sultanate’s cooperation with international human rights mechanisms and bodies.

The research seeks to follow the descriptive, historical, analytical, and inductive method.

The research reached many results and recommendations, the most important of which are: The Sultanate of Oman has taken great care of human rights issues.

That is much, as work at the national and international levels, governmental and non-governmental, has known many mechanisms or means of legal, moral and material pressure that are used to compel states to respect human rights, whether within the territory of each of them, or within the framework of their mutual relations.

The Sultanate’s government represented by His Majesty the King has developed a lot in the laws regulating human rights, and it has implemented many recommendations in this field.

The Sultanate of Oman has ratified all the outstanding human rights treaties and their optional protocols, namely the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the First and Second Optional Protocols to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

The laws of the Sultanate of Oman also included freedom of assembly and association in law based on many recommendations.

In the field of workers and labor laws, Omani legislation addressed this by canceling the current employment system and replacing it with a system of residence permits for all foreign workers, which allows workers to obtain new work without permission from their current employers.

The research recommended the following: Periodic review of some legislations helps in strengthening human rights legislation, conducting more studies and research in the field, strengthening mechanisms for addressing human rights, and holding workshops and continuous courses in enlightenment to keep pace with developments in legislation and laws.
