For his part, Hamid explained the role of sports in promoting human rights and integrating individuals into society. He noted that sports teach people values that transcend gender, nationality, age, or even physical condition, adding that sports are important in promoting human rights globally through the interactions they generate between communities from different backgrounds and cultures.

It is noteworthy that the seminar was organized by the Human Rights Unit in the college to highlight the role of sports in enhancing the spirit of partnership and cooperation between communities, establishing human rights concepts, and activating the role of athletes and fans in promoting these concepts.
