Based on our legal team’s detailed analysis of the ISS Law, the Omani Centre for Human Rights (OCHR) would like to raise the following concerns:
Article 5 treats all information about the ISS – its organisation, employees, activities, documentation, bank accounts etc. – as national security secrets. This means that anyone who criticises the ISS’s role in any way may potentially find themselves subject to arbitrary arrest. Article 5 also shields the ISS from any oversight or accountability to the relevant authorities.
