The Arab Committee for Human Rights prepared the new Arab charter on human rights, which models on the US and European documents of human rights.
The charter was prepared in cooperation with a group of international experts from the UN Higher Commission for Human Rights, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Tunisia and Algeria.
The committee has introduced substantial amendments to the Arab charter for human rights in compliance with the proposals of some Arab countries to amend it to cope with the international standards of human rights.
Dr. Ahmed Kamal Abul Maged, Deputy Chairman of the National Council for Human Rights said that the new charter allows each country to choose what suits it and matches its idiosyncrasies.
