Bahrain called on members of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to support the national dialogue initiative that it launched of late, and to support the formation of a committee to probe into causes of the regrettable incidents that the country has recently witnessed.

Bahraini Minister of Social Development Fatima bint Ahmad Al-Balushi asserted in an address delivered before UNHRC high-profile session that, "such support of Bahrain's initiatives will chart the road ahead of other peoples to be on the safe side through making use of Bahrain's truthful experience." She also asserted that the swift measures made for addressing and containing the deplorable events that the Kingdom of Bahrain recently saw is "a clear proof that Bahrain is the state of law and institutions."

Al-Balushi added that, "Bahrain is continuning its reform approach which will not stop or retreat, but it will last to achieve the desired hopes with the Kingdom opening all doors before freedom and responsibility for citizens and residents alike."

She also displayed before the UNHRC the latest developments in Bahrain, and the reaction of King of Bahrain Hamad bin Issa Al-Khalifa to them, asserting that such events would not have been occurred, if protests and sits-in had stuck to peacefulness and law, addding that Manama addressed these events within a spirit of responsibility that caters to the rights of citizens.

As for the initiative launched by King Hamad, Al-Balushi said that it signals that the Bahraini King took the lead on restraint, calming, and embarking on a new stage of national action in which all parties will participate with the aim of going beyond the status quo, and joining efforts to protect the country and its gains that all Bahrainis contributed to in what asserts the country's national unity.
