This chapter explores the regional and global implications of the security policies adopted by Saudi Arabia and Egypt, highlighting how their authoritarian practices have shaped security frameworks across the Middle East and influenced international governance standards. As two dominant powers in the Arab world, these nations prioritise regime stability over human rights, employing securitisation strategies such as surveillance, repression of dissent and militarised responses to protests. These policies are often exported to neighbouring regimes, perpetuating authoritarianism throughout the region. The chapter also examines the role of Western powers, which, driven by economic and geopolitical interests, continue to support these regimes through diplomatic assistance, intelligence-sharing and arms sales, thereby shielding them from international accountability. The chapter further discusses the difficulties in holding Saudi Arabia and Egypt accountable for human rights abuses due to the structural limitations of international human rights institutions and the geopolitical influence these nations exert. Ultimately, it reflects on the tension between human rights advocacy and security-driven geopolitics.
