The UK draws on a range of sources when assessing human rights. Our close relationship with Oman allows us to discuss important issues such as civil and political rights. Where the UK has cause for concern, we raise it privately at official and Ministerial level, including during Lord Ahmad's most recent visit to Oman in December 2022.
