The Human Rights Commission is responsible for ensuring and monitoring human rights as stipulated in the Basic Law of Governance in Saudi Arabia, issued in 1992. It was established according to the Human Rights Commission's regulation, issued by the Council of Ministers on September 12, 2005. The governance in the Kingdom is based on justice, consultation, and equality, and the state protects human rights including the right to life, freedom, education, healthcare, and work. It also protects families, empowers women, enhances participation in political and public life, ensures the freedom to form and support associations, and upholds the right to participate in cultural, sports, and recreational activities.
The flag is white with the logo and the name in Arabic and English.

The previous flag used an earlier logo design.

The old flag has a seal-like logo showing the map of the country and what is likely meant as a pair of human hands, placed on the Persian Gulf and on the Red Sea.
