of The State of Qatar to the United Nations

The State of Qatar has addressed two identical letters to His Excellency Mr. António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, and His Excellency Mr. Zénon Mukongo Ngay, Permanent Representative of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the United Nations and President of the Security Council for the month of July, regarding developments related to the Iranian attack on its territory. The attack constitutes a flagrant violation of Qatar's national sovereignty, a direct infringement on its security and territorial integrity, and an unacceptable escalation that threatens the security and stability of the region.

The State of Qatar reaffirmed its condemnation of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, regardless of its perpetrators or motives, describing it as a serious threat to international peace and security, sustainable development, human rights, and the rule of law.

The State of Qatar has affirmed its aspiration to host the High-Level Midterm Review Meeting of the Doha Programme of Action (DPoA MTR) in March 2027, as a positive step to enhance cooperation with the least developed countries and support their efforts in addressing challenges.

The State of Qatar expressed deep concern over the findings of the United Nations Secretary-General's report on children and armed conflict, which indicated that violations committed against children in conflict zones have reached unprecedented levels, including killing and maiming, attacks on schools and hospitals, and the denial of humanitarian access.

The State of Qatar reaffirmed the importance of enhancing women's participation in peace and security efforts, stressing that women are a fundamental pillar in achieving sustainable peace and building more stable and prosperous societies.
