The Human Rights Commission of the Maldives (HRCM) has expressed concern with the forced cancellations and disruptions to parliament proceedings in past weeks, urging MPs to resolve disputes through peaceful dialogue and discussion.
In a press release issued today the commission notes that the enactment of several crucial pieces of legislation was needed to ensure the rights and freedoms enshrined in the constitution.
“In addition, the commission calls on all parties not to disrupt parliament proceedings or gather outside the parliament building, cause unrest and create difficulties to the security forces as gatherings are prohibited in the area,” it reads.
The HRCM urged all MPs to choose dialogue and discussion over confrontational politics.
