Kuwait - fighting corruption, terrorism and human rights violations
Kuwait, a culture of face, is more concerned about its reputation than anything else. As a result, issues such as corruption, terrorism and human rights violations are often denied or simply ignored. In most cases, the victims are punished. Despite the fact most people are too afraid to denounce them, some Kuwaiti and expat writers are exposing the violations committed against helpless victims... some times at the risk of being accused of destroying Kuwait’s reputation or even being arrested.

Remembering HH Sheikh Jaber
Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah’s
commitment to human rights
The following is an excerpt from His Highness' statement presented before the Millennium Assembly of the United Nations on September 5th 2000.
“now at the level of the human person, we must reaffirm our commitment to the rejection of any form of human slavery or denial of human rights irrespective of the excuses or circumstances cited to justify that by any political system or regime, even if that violation was committed by the government in that individual's own homeland.”
