Anti-fanatics in Kuwait
Labeed Abdal
Kuwait's move to praise the United Nations Human Rights Council for its efforts in fighting racial discrimination, fanaticism and ill-will towards Asian workers, low paid laborers or others was a very welcome move that showed how the country remains responsible when it comes to its humanitarian obligations.
A steadfast stand against discrimination and prejudice is a vital element that reflects positively on our country and must be the unshakeable pillar of our policy, irrespective of any topical issues.
Violations of human rights, or incidents in which these are being infringed, are happening all over the globe, but Kuwaitis must always choose to say: Not here please! Acknowledging such a public policy stance must not remain limited to statements made in front of a UN organization or other international bodies.
At a time when the whole world is getting ready to address big challenges and critical difficulties on financial and social levels, it is sorely needed that we turn out to be practical and real provider of remedies, especially to those actually victimized. Comprehensive awareness and educational programs must be aimed at the younger generations in schools and mosques, at home and everywhere, coupled with enforcement of strict laws against discrimination and violation of human rights.
A legal and moral framework for such ennobling principles is already well provided in our constitution as well as religion, but we need to manifest these values in our society. Thus, the issue must be strongly highlighted. The people must absorb these high principles as their way of life, and we must never allow a feeling of ennui to set in where they become tired of finding out any wrong happening in Kuwait. We must live by the high ideals we proclaim.
