Rule of Law Key to Justice

The rule of law remains a cornerstone of justice, equality and the protection of rights in Bahrain, Attorney General Dr. Ali bin Fadhel Al Buainain said.

Marking World Law Day, observed today, Dr. Al Buainain said Bahrain has developed an advanced legal and judicial system grounded in the rule of law, justice and equality, while safeguarding rights and freedoms.

He said the Kingdom’s continued legislative and judicial reforms reflect its efforts to keep pace with changing needs, strengthen state institutions, protect society and build public confidence in the justice system.

The Attorney General highlighted the central role of the Public Prosecution in criminal justice, including investigating cases, initiating criminal proceedings and representing cases before the courts.

These responsibilities, he said, help ensure enforcement of the law, protection of society and rights, and legal safeguards for all parties involved in judicial proceedings.

Dr. Al Buainain stressed the need to further improve working mechanisms, strengthen judicial specialisation and adopt modern technologies to raise efficiency, speed up procedures and respond to emerging challenges.

He noted that an effective justice system depends on continuous development and the ability to adapt to rapidly changing crime patterns and legal transactions.

He also called for stronger specialised capabilities within the Public Prosecution, improved judicial tools and greater cooperation and exchange of expertise with counterpart judicial authorities.

Dr. Al Buainain said Bahrain’s progress in developing its legal and judicial system reflects the vision of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the continued support of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for strengthening the justice system and improving institutional efficiency.
