    Extractions: The central institution of Saudi Arabian Government is the monarchy. The Basic Law adopted in 1992 declared that Saudi Arabia is a monarchy ruled by the sons and grandsons of King Abd Al Aziz Al Saud, and that the Holy Qur'an is the constitution of the country, which is governed on the basis of Islamic law (Shari'a). There are no political parties or national elections. The king's powers are limited because he must observe the Shari'a and other Saudi traditions. He also must retain a consensus of the Saudi royal family, religious leaders (ulema), and other important elements in Saudi society. The leading members of the royal family choose the king from among themselves with the subsequent approval of the ulema. Saudi kings gradually have developed a central government. Since 1953, the Council of Ministers, appointed by and responsible to the king, has advised on the formulation of general policy and directed the activities of the growing bureaucracy. This council consists of a prime minister, the first and second deputy prime ministers, 20 ministers (of whom the minister of defense also is the second deputy prime minister), two ministers of state, and a small number of advisers and heads of major autonomous organizations. Legislation is by resolution of the Council of Ministers, ratified by royal decree, and must be compatible with the Shari'a. Justice is administered according to the Shari'a by a system of religious courts whose judges are appointed by the king on the recommendation of the Supreme Judicial Council, composed of 12 senior jurists. The independence of the judiciary is protected by law. The king acts as the highest court of appeal and has the power to pardon. Access to high officials (usually at a majlis, or public audience) and the right to petition them directly are well-established traditions.

    Extractions: Government Saudi Arabia Table of Contents ABD AL AZIZ IBN ABD AR RAHMAN AL SAUD, who had begun conquering territory in the Arabian Peninsula in 1902, proclaimed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932. It was then, and remained sixty years later, the only nation to have been named after its ruling family. Fahd ibn Abd al Aziz Al Saud, who in 1992 had been ruling for ten years, was the fourth son of Abd al Aziz to become king since his father's death in 1953. Although the Al Saud kings ruled as absolute monarchs, their power was tempered by Islamic law (sharia) and by the custom of reaching consensus on political issues among the scores of direct adult male descendants of Abd al Aziz. Islam was a pervasive social and political force in Saudi Arabia. Because there was no separation of religion and state, the political role of religious scholars, or ulama, was second in importance to that of the ruling Al Saud family. The close association between the ulama, advocating the strict Islamic interpretations of Muhammad ibn Abd al Wahhab, and the Al Saud originated in the eighteenth century and provided the dynasty with its primary source of legitimacy. The ulama acted as a conservative force in maintaining the traditional social and political values that characterized Saudi Arabia in the early 1990s. STRUCTURE OF GOVERNMENT

    Extractions: Recent Reports Support HRW World Report 1999 Order Online SAUDI ARABIA Human Rights Developments The lack of basic freedoms of expression and association, institutionalized discrimination particularly against women and religious minorities, and the use of corporal and capital punishments to suppress and intimidate political opposition remained Saudi Arabia's most pressing human rights problems during 1999. An absolute monarchy, the state allowed no criticism of the ruling family, established religion, or the government and used the threat of arbitrary arrest, detention without trial, torture, and execution to silence criticism. Saudi labor laws prohibited the right to organize and bargain collectively and gave employers extensive control over foreign workers' freedom of movement. Many foreign workers continued to suffer under oppressive working conditions and were denied legitimate claims to wages, benefits, or compensation. Labor protections did not extend to domestic workers and labor courts rarely enforced the few protections provided by law when workers sought to have their terms of contracts honored or pursued other claims. While unemployment among the Saudi working-age population soared to around 27 percent, the campaign begun in October 1997 to limit the number of foreign workers continued. In September, Al-Bilad newspaper, quoting General Hassan Rashwan, head of Mecca's passport department, reported the arrest in the city of more than 10,000 foreigners without valid residency permits. Official figures released at the end of 1998 indicated that 1.5 million people, mostly from the Indian subcontinent, had been expelled while a further one million had regularized their residency.

    Extractions: The FBI insists it could not have prevented the attacks Saudi Arabia has responded angrily to allegations in a United States congressional report about its role in the 11 September attacks. The 900-page report on the intelligence failings in the run up to the event accuses Riyadh of providing assistance to the hijackers and failing to co-operate with the US intelligence agencies. Referring to the secret section of the report, the Saudi ambassador to the US, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, said "28 blanked-out pages are being used by some to malign our country and our people". "Saudi Arabia has nothing to hide. We can deal with questions in public, but we cannot respond to blank pages." The White House has blocked publication of the section of the report dealing with the alleged Saudi involvement, so full details of the accusations are not known. The Saudi Government has consistently denied any links with the hijackers.

    Extractions: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a monarchy with a political system rooted in Islam's cherished traditions and rich culture. Its rules and regulations are governed by the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah (teachings and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad) which call for peace justice, equality, consultation and respect for the rights of the individual. Since the beginning of the first Saudi state in the 18th century through the founding of the modern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by the late King Abdul Aziz Bin Abdul Rahman Al-Saud on September 23, 1932, the Shari'ah (Islamic law) has been the pillar and source of Saudi Arabia's basic system of government. It identifies the nature of the state, its goals and responsibilities, as well as the relationship between the government and its citizens. Recognising that his young nation would need to adapt to the changing times in order to thrive and prosper, King Abdul Aziz built the foundation for a constitutional regime, thus establishing a modern government where once tribal rulers had reigned. A royal decree in 1953 established Saudi Arabia's Council of Ministers. During the 1950s and 1960s, 20 government ministries were founded. The Council of Ministers in conjunction with the King, formed the executive and legislative branches of the government. This was the first step taken towards formalising the long-established Islamic system of popular consultation which has always been practiced by Saudi rulers. In the Majlis, weekly meetings which are open to all, members of the general public can approach the King and leaders at the local, provincial and national levels to discuss issues and raise grievances.

    Extractions: The Advice was issued on Wednesday, 09 June 2004, 17:00:36, EST This advice has been reviewed. It contains new advice on Safety and Security. The overall level of the advice has not changed. Australians should defer non-essential travel to Saudi Arabia. We continue to receive reports that terrorists are planning further attacks against Western interests. These could occur at any time, anywhere in Saudi Arabia. Terrorists have targeted both Saudi citizens and foreigners, within residential compounds, their places of business and government installations. On 29 May, terrorists attacked residential compounds in the eastern port city of Khobar, killing and kidnapping a number of people. Australians in Saudi Arabia concerned for their security should consider departure. Consistent with this advice, since May 2003 the Government has authorised the voluntary departure of the dependants of Australian Embassy staff in Riyadh. Australians who remain in Saudi Arabia should exercise extreme caution, particularly in those places known to be frequented by foreigners. They should monitor developments that might affect their safety, and are strongly urged to register with the Australian Embassy (contact details below). Australian travellers should be aware of the increased threat of terrorism globally and should consult the General Advice to Australian Travellers, available at
