Security                               momentum. This comes in conjunction with the University preparations to obtain
                                       institutional accreditation, following the signing of the institutional accreditation

in another edition                     Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (the host country) in March of last year. This achievement
                                       highlights NAUSS vision and strategy, further enhancing its role as the scientific arm of
                                       the Arab Interior Ministers Council (AIMC). NAUSS aims to be a pioneering institution
                                       in qualifying leaders and experts in security fields, while continuously improving
                                       the quality of its academic and administrative systems by adopting the best practices
                                       of planning, quality of education, scientific research, and innovation applied by the
                                       educational institutions. Such efforts uphold NAUSS reputation both regionally and
                                       internationally, as the Saudi institutional accreditation certificate is recognized for its
                                       reliability, credibility, and international reference.
                                       The magazine has dedicated this issue to focusing on aspects of human rights, which are
                                       among the central subjects that shape NAUSS programs.
                                       Human rights are a fundamental pillar in the strategies and security plans adopted by
                                       AIMC. NAUSS has given utmost importance to human rights in its various scientific,
                                       training, and research programs. This reflects NAUSS commitment to this vital field,
                                       which is closely related to maintenance of security and societal stability.
                                       The issue also documents the achievements of “NAUSS Work Program” during the
                                       first half of 2023. This program included numerous scientific activities derived from
                                       the recommendations of AIMC meetings. It has been implemented through strategic
                                       partnerships between NAUSS and relevant organizations and institutions at both the
                                       Arab and international levels. We hope that these programs and activities have assisted
                                       in realizing NAUSS strategic vision and objectives.
                                       The successful implementation of NAUSS annual program and its achievements in its
                                       field of specialization over the past years owe their success, first and foremost, to the
                                       grace of Allah first and foremost, and the generous support and unlimited care provided
                                       by the government of the host country (the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) under the leadership
                                       of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and
                                       His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Deputy Prime Minister, and the Minister of
                                       Defense, Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, may Allah protect them.
                                       NAUSS has also benefited from the wise support and guidance of His Royal Highness
                                       Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif bin Abdulaziz, the Minister of Interior, the honorary
                                       president of AIMC, and the chairman of NAUSS Supreme Council. This has enabled NAUSS
                                       to establish itself as the house of security expertise on both the Arab and international
                                       levels.
                                       At the conclusion of this statement, I am pleased to welcome the new members of the
                                       Security and Life Magazine advisory board, who occupy a leading position in security
                                       media field in the Arab Ministries of Interior and include Arab media experts. We hope
                                       that more expert members may join the advisory board during the upcoming phase.
