In his opening remarks, Permanent Secretary / Solicitor General, Mr. Mbonera Théophile emphasized that “respect for human rights is not an abstract principle but the foundation of peace, stability, and sustainable development.”
The seminar highlighted the importance of legislation, oversight, and collaboration in promoting equality, justice, and social cohesion. Participants also discussed emerging areas such as digital rights, environmental justice, and equitable access to technology.
The Ministry of Justice reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with Parliament, civil society, and partners to strengthen Rwanda’s human rights framework and ensure inclusive, rights-respecting development for all.
