working policy for them. However, since

AI launched its global

Stop Violence Against Women (SVA\ D campaign, it has become clear that the promocion of women's reproductive and sexual

rights are integral to this movement. Reproductive and sexual rights aÌso bring to light other issues pertinent to AI, including

fr+J

freedom ofexpression, and economic, social and cultural rights,

AI could further defend reproductive and

sexual rights by

Despite the diversity of views, the discussion was held in an open and constructive manner in which participants lelt that international solidarity and cohesiveness of the movement were

The king's announcement of the lifting of the state ol emergency came on the heels of his first oflìcial r4sit abroad since he seized porver.
