Egyptian Parliamentary Committee Concludes Review of Human Rights Council Amendments

The House of Representatives’ Human Rights Committee concluded discussions today on several articles of a bill to amend the law governing Egypt’s National Council for Human Rights.

The meeting was chaired by MP Tarek Radwan, who heads the committee and submitted the proposed legislation alongside more than 60 other lawmakers.

The discussions focused on a number of provisions in the draft law. The available summary did not specify which articles were reviewed or what changes they would introduce.

The conclusion of those discussions marks a step in the committee’s examination of the proposal, rather than confirmation of final parliamentary approval. No timetable for further consideration was provided.
