The National Society for Human Rights (NSHR) in Saudi Arabia has expressed approval of the United Nations Human Rights Council's unanimous decision to adopt a resolution focused on safeguarding children in cyberspace. This resolution is seen as a crucial move to bolster international efforts in protecting children's rights amidst the increasing challenges posed by the digital world.

NSHR highlighted that this resolution aligns with a global initiative launched by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, aimed at protecting children online. This initiative underscores a growing commitment to upholding children's rights within the digital realm.

Khalid Al-Fakhri, President of NSHR, emphasized that the resolution marks significant progress in enhancing legal and preventive measures to shield children from digital threats and violations. It establishes an international framework supporting countries and communities in their efforts to protect children online.

Al-Fakhri also commended the Kingdom’s mission to the United Nations and international organizations in Geneva for their role in supporting and engaging with this resolution. He stressed the importance of integrating national and international efforts to advance human rights, particularly focusing on children's rights in today's digital age.

The NSHR reiterated its dedication to backing all international and local initiatives aimed at protecting children's rights. They are committed to raising public and legislative awareness about the dangers present in cyberspace, which is essential for ensuring a safe digital environment.

These efforts align with advancing Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which aims for a cohesive and secure society. The NSHR believes that such initiatives are vital for creating a safer digital space for children, reflecting their ongoing commitment to this cause.
