Responsible citizenship requires following laws and supporting state institutions, says lawyer

Legal advisor and lawyer Ghaniya Al-Shammari has emphasized the importance of responsible citizenship in safeguarding the nation.

Speaking on Al-Ikhbariya Radio, Al-Shammari said responsible citizenship is founded on adherence to regulations and cooperation with state institutions, which strengthens the nation’s security and stability.

She added that Article 34 of the Basic Law of Governance states that defending Islamic beliefs, society, and the homeland is a duty for every citizen, and that the law defines the rules for military service.

Al-Shammari further noted that responsible citizenship is a shared obligation and not solely the responsibility of the state. While state institutions are tasked with protecting the nation in accordance with legal frameworks, citizens must respect and uphold these laws, as a lack of cooperation can lead to disruption.
