The Shura Council, at a session chaired by its Speaker HE Ahmed bin Abdullah bin Zaid al Mahmoud on Monday, strongly condemned the terrorist attack that targeted worshipers in two mosques in Christchurch City in New Zealand last Friday, leaving 50 martyrs and scores injured.
The Shura Council said the heinous crime, which shook the conscience of mankind all over the world, is new proof that terrorism has no religion and that humanity as a whole is threatened by hatred, intolerance and racism, calling for global unity to confront terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.
The Shura then discussed a draft law on fireworks.
The draft law defines fireworks as a mixture of chemicals in certain proportions according to the tables annexed to the draft law, and are used for the purpose of producing light or acoustic effects or both after combustion or explosion.
Under the provisions of the draft law, the import, export, trade, manufacture, possession, acquisition, storage, transfer or use of fireworks listed in the Schedules I and II annexed to this draft law are prohibited.
The draft law also prohibits the import, export, trade, manufacture, possession, acquisition, storage, transfer or use of fireworks listed in Schedule III and IV annexed to the draft law without a licence from the competent authority.
Under the draft law, the import, export, trade, manufacture, possession, acquisition, storage, transfer or use of fireworks listed in Schedule V annexed to the draft law shall be in accordance with the regulations issued by the Minister of Interior.
The draft law included the terms of granting or renewing the licence and cases in which the licence is revoked.
Following the discussion, the Shura Council referred the draft law to the Interior and External Affairs Committee for further study and to submit a report to the Council.
The speaker then briefed the Council on his participations during the past few days in several regional and international parliamentary events and his meetings locally and abroad in preparation for the convention of the General Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in Doha next April.
