Saudi initial investigations into Khashoggi’s case are a first step in the right direction and a clear sign of justice

The International Observatory to Monitor and Document Human Rights Violations with the Argentine capital Buenos Aires expresses its appreciation for the results of preliminary investigations in the case of journalist Khashoggi, and considers that this step is the first in the right direction, but demonstrates the commitment and commitment of the Saudi leadership to reach the reality of what happened with journalist Khashoggi.

The Observatory also believes that the due process of law that accompanied the preliminary investigations into the persons involved is a clear indication of justice and accountability for the perpetrators, despite their security and political status. This is what the other Arab regimes lack, where officials enjoy immunity that guarantees impunity for any crime.

The Observatory also commends Saudi Arabia’s commitment to follow up the investigations in a transparent manner and within the framework of the law to ensure full disclosure of the truth and that the decisions and decisive and courageous actions taken by the Saudi leadership in this regard are consistent with respect for the principles of domestic and international law and contribute to the effective implementation of justice. Everyone is a principle enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The Observatory asserts that the importance of bringing those responsible for this crime to justice to receive their punishment is a step that promotes impunity for criminals. After this pioneering step, these organized campaigns targeting Saudi Arabia as a state should be stopped in order to undermine its political, economic and human rights. The realization of justice does not mean that the media becomes a political platform that targets the interests and policies of nations and peoples to obliterate and falsify the facts.
