Royal Decree No. (57/2022) that reorganized the OHRC and developed its new work system which upgraded it to the level of absolute independence in practicing its work as a national mechanism concerned with the protection and promotion of human rights as well as following up on them at both the local and international levels was issued to ensure the significance and prestige of the OHRC. The establishment of the OHRC by the Sultanate of Oman indicates the Sultanate’s awareness of the importance of protecting and safeguarding these rights and ensures the declared approval of the relevant international conventions.
