All of us, in our official capacity and in our private lives, have a responsibility to promote and protect the rights of our fellow members of the human family, be that at home or elsewhere in the world”.

He contended that the protection and promotion of human rights should be the core foundation of any legislation. It is to be ensured that any individual all across the world is guaranteed with his human rights. “In pursuit of this commitment, we will work and support organizations who are working in this field to ensure the protection of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights in recognition of the universal, indivisible, interdependent and inter-related nature of all human rights”. Dr. Homoud added. “Every year, Human Rights Day reminds us of persisting human rights problems in our communities and in the world, and of the huge effort still needed, on the part of each and every one of us, to make human rights a certainty for all". He further said.

Dr. Homoud while speaking on the occasion called on everyone to take the opportunity provided by Human Rights Day to organize educational activities, disseminate good practices and launch future initiatives in this area, "in a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect among all those involved Human Rights Day should provide us with an opportunity to pay tribute to human rights educators. Indeed, human rights champions who, in formal and informal settings, in small or large communities, and often encountering difficulties and hazards, contribute to building a universal culture of human rights". He said while admiring the work the defenders of human rights all across the globe.

On the occasion of the International Human Rights Day Dr. Homoud call upon the international community, especially the signatories of the 4th Geneva Convention, and human rights organizations to fulfill their responsibilities and urge all countries to respect articles of international law.
