H.E. Fatima Al Kaabi, Deputy Chairperson and head of the participating delegation, emphasised that the NHRI’s participation aimed to exchange expertise and views with representatives of regional and international entities in the human rights education field to gain more insights into best practices in this field, as well as to explore avenues for developing the human rights education system, digital transformation, and human rights education, in order to formulate a guiding framework that achieves sustainability in the human rights field.
