Abstract
The article describes in a first part the legal underpinnings of the absolute monarchy under the basic laws of government passed in 1992 and the iteration of Majlis al-shura, the parliament-like institution in the Kingdom, which is subordinated to the executive in various ways. It examines in a second part some core human values defined universally in the light of court cases. Dissent in the form of freedom of expression and right to demonstrate, as well as the punishment of dissent in capital punishment cases, form the main focus for the discussion in this latter section.
