"Saudi courts try terror crimes with all fairness. However, the Kingdom's laws regard terror financing equally dangerous," Al-Issa said while receiving Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations and Chief Executive of the United Nations Office for Drugs and Crime Yuri Fedotov at his office in Riyadh.

"Terror crimes are falling in the Kingdom," the minister noted, adding that judicial verdicts in terror crimes in the country would be published as soon as their compilation has been completed.

He also explained with statistical figures that the crime rate in the Kingdom was low compared to other countries. He attributed the low rate to the implementation of the Islamic Law and the just governance in the country.

"Kingdom's security and stability enable the authorities to deal with all crimes related to terror and drugs," he said, adding that the crimes related to drugs were no less dangerous than terror.

Discussing the rights of defendants in the Saudi courts, the minister said defendants could appeal sentences against them. 

He also said the Kingdom never ignored any international agreements.

He added that the kingdom was fighting crimes of human trafficking effectively.
