The fundamental entitlements and obligations of citizens within the state, as guaranteed and regulated by law.
Definition
The Oman Constitution establishes that all citizens are equal in their public rights and duties. This encompasses a broad spectrum of entitlements, such as the right to work, education, and healthcare, as well as obligations like respecting the law and contributing to society. The principle of equality in public rights and duties ensures that all citizens, irrespective of their background, have the same fundamental standing before the state and are expected to fulfill similar civic responsibilities, forming the bedrock of citizenship in Oman.
