of The State of Qatar to the United Nations

The State of Qatar on Thursday presided over a session of the 73rd session of UN General Assembly on appointments to fill vacancies in United Nations organs and subcommittees.

The State of Qatar has underlined that the human rights situation in the occupied Palestinian territory and the occupied Arab territories, in light of the ongoing Israeli violations, require urgent efforts to reach a radical settlement for the Palestinian issue.

The State of Qatar affirmed its continued support to the brotherly Palestinian people until they enjoy their inalienable rights, as well as its support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) to fulfill its important mandate.

The State of Qatar, on behalf of the United Nations General Assembly, has underlined that multilateralism is not a threat to the sovereignty or national interests of Member States and is the only way to address the complex challenges that no country can overcome alone. It calls upon all Member States to reaffirm their commitment to the principles and provisions of the Charter of the United Nations to strengthen international law and maintain international cooperation.

The State of Qatar urged the international community to condemn and reject the measures taken by the siege countries against it, asserting that they were contrary to international obligations to respect and promote human rights.
