The National Centre for Human Rights (NCHR), in cooperation with the Ministry of Youth, conducted a training workshop at the Dhiban Girls’ Center on United Nations Security Council Resolution 2250 and youth empowerment.
Within the framework of its legal mandate as stipulated in Law No. (51) of 2006, and as part of its ongoing efforts to promote a culture of human rights and enhance youth participation in public life, the NCHR implemented this training workshop in coordination with the Ministry of Youth, focusing on UN Security Council Resolution 2250 on Youth, Peace and Security.
This workshop forms part of a series of training sessions that the Centre will implement in youth centers across various governorates of the Kingdom, totaling (24) workshops during 2026. This session marks the first workshop carried out by the Centre in youth centers this year and targeted (25) participants, within the framework of a national plan aimed at expanding awareness of the concepts of youth, peace and security, and strengthening their role in public life.
This cooperation aligns with the Centre’s mandate to raise awareness of and promote human rights at the national level, as well as with the role of the Ministry of Youth in supporting and empowering young people and enhancing their effective participation, in line with the provisions of UN Resolution 2250, which emphasizes the importance of engaging youth in peacebuilding efforts, strengthening stability, and decision-making processes.
The training workshop was delivered by lawyer Rami Ahmad Al-Hashem, Head of the International Instruments Unit at the National Centre for Human Rights, with the participation of a number of young women and men from the local community.
The workshop addressed the key pillars of the Resolution, particularly participation, protection, prevention, and partnerships, while highlighting the importance of empowering youth and strengthening their role in public life based on the principles of human rights and the rule of law.
It also reviewed the Centre’s role in protecting and promoting youth rights through raising awareness of relevant national legislation, including the Cybercrime Law, combating hate speech, and addressing gender-based violence, in addition to promoting the values of citizenship from a human rights perspective, thereby reinforcing concepts of national identity, positive belonging, and social responsibility.
At the conclusion of the workshop, certificates of participation were distributed to attendees in appreciation of their engagement and active participation. The workshop was held as part of the activities of the Promotion Commissioner at the National Centre for Human Rights, reflecting the Centre’s commitment to continuing collaborative work with various national stakeholders to empower youth and enhance their role as active partners in development and community peacebuilding.
