Bahrain reaffirmed its unwavering support for global peace and legal order yesterday, as its parliamentary delegation addressed a high-level meeting on the sidelines of the 6th World Conference of Speakers of Parliament in Geneva.

The session, held under the theme ‘Upholding the UN Charter and International Law to Ensure Global Peace and Security,’ was hosted by H.E. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly of Iran, and convened by the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU).

Representing Bahrain were H.E. MP Abdulnabi Salman Ahmed, First Deputy Speaker of the Council of Representatives, and H.E. Dr. Bassam Ismail Al Binmohammed, member of the Shura Council’s Foreign Affairs, Defence, and National Security Committee.

Balanced Diplomacy

The Bahraini delegation underscored the Kingdom’s principled foreign policy, rooted in respect for the UN Charter, pursuit of political solutions, and promotion of multilateral diplomacy. They reiterated Bahrain’s belief in international law as the true guarantor of collective security and stability.

This approach, they noted, reflects the vision of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the leadership of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, particularly in supporting peace, mutual respect, and regional cooperation.

UN Council

Role The delegation highlighted that Bahrain’s election to the UN Security Council for the 2026– 2027 term is a direct result of its growing international standing and balanced engagement. They described it as a rare opportunity to amplify voices of moderation and reinforce global legal norms from within the world’s top decision-making forum.

The parliamentarians further stressed that the legislative authority, through its active parliamentary diplomacy, fully supports Bahrain’s foreign policy and global peace efforts, including the incorporation of international legal principles into national legislation.

Parliamentary

Presence Bahrain’s presence at such forums, they added, reflects its commitment to constructive global engagement and the strengthening of human values. The delegation welcomed initiatives that broaden parliamentary participation in international peacebuilding and reaffirmed Bahrain’s support for legal multilateralism. The Geneva forum runs through July 31.
