News Service: 066/00 AI INDEX: MDE 23/26/00 6 April 2000 PUBLIC STATEMENT SAUDI ARABIA GOVERNMENT RESPONDS TO AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL REPORT A spokesperson for the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a statement to the media in response to the latest report* published by Amnesty International. "Regrettably, this statement fails to address the substantive concerns detailed in our latest report on the human rights situation in Saudi Arabia," Amnesty International said. The statement as reported in the media expressed the Kingdom’s commitment to implement the UN Convention against Torture, to cooperate with international human rights bodies, and to set up governmental and non-governmental institutions to ensure the protection and promotion of human rights. This statement is similar to other statements made by the Saudi Arabian Deputy Foreign Minister, Prince Turki bin Muhamad bin Saud Alkabeer, to the UN Commission on Human Rights in Geneva today in which he affirmed that "human rights are a non-negotiable objective", and that " the Kingdom and the other states members of the Organization of the Islamic Conference are jointly seeking to promote the universality of human rights", and emphasizing the support of the Saudi Arabian government to "the commendable endeavours [of the UN Human Rights Commission] to achieve the noble aims and objectives of the promotion of human rights in a firm and steadfast manner". "These publicly stated commitments are a step in the right direction but they must be translated into practice," Amnesty International said. As a start, the organization added, " the government should allow an Amnesty International delegation to visit the country to meet members of the judiciary and officials."

What has all the trappings of a new book on Saudi Arabia in the aftermath of the Kuwait War turns out to be-read the preface carefully-a reprint of Abir's 1988 study published by Westview Press, Saudi Arabia in the Oil Era: Regime and Elites; Conflict and Collaboration (reviewed in less than glowing terms in ORBIS, Summer 1988). Admittedly, Abir has tacked on a final section dealing with the events of 1990-92, but it's the same book sold in a new cover, and that strikes this reviewer as wrong. It's also a growing practice. Only the sharp-eyed will notice that Charles Warren Hostler's The Turks of Central Asia (Westport, Conn.: Praeger, 1993) is an updated edition of that old and valuable friend, Turkism and the Soviets (London: George Allen and Unwin, 1957). Again, the new volume has all the trappings of a new study but it is not; worse, developments of the past thirty-six years appear in the book only haphazardly and inconsistently. William R. Polk's United States and the Arab World has done even better than these volumes, having by now gone through three titles. The original name held for the first editions of 1965, 1969, and 1975. The fourth edition came out as The Arab World in 1980 and the fifth appeared as The Arab World Today in 1991. What's going on here? Let's go back to the old formula of keeping the original title and adding "revised edition": that way, no one feels he's out $59.50 for a book already on the shelf.

The cafe, near Mecca University, was closed last week after a complaint was filed in court alleging that the cafe had been used for "immoral purposes", according to the English-language Arab News. "What was uncovered was against both our religion and our traditions," said Brigadier Yousuf Matter of the civil police. He gave no details as to what offence had actually been committed.
