Qatar has emphasized that technical cooperation and capacity-building are key elements of its collaboration with the United Nations and its human rights mechanisms. This was highlighted during the 63rd session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva, by Abdulaziz Mohammed Al Mansouri, the State of Qatar's Second Secretary at the Permanent Mission to the United Nations Office in Geneva.
Al Mansouri stated that the State of Qatar has long supported the UN and its bodies through various forms of assistance, which have contributed to improving human rights conditions in several crucial areas. He emphasized that this partnership continues through the work of the Doha-based United Nations Human Rights Training and Documentation Centre.
Given that many countries face challenges beyond their individual capacities, Al Mansouri underscored that providing technical assistance and helping nations strengthen their human rights capacities, tailored to their priorities, specificities, and needs, is of utmost importance. He stressed that this approach enables countries to fulfill their human rights obligations, with their consent and consultation.
The Qatari official further stressed that the State of Qatar views it as crucial to give equal priority to all human rights, including political, civil, socioeconomic, cultural rights, and the right to development. He highlighted the importance of international cooperation through knowledge exchange, technological advancements, and bridging the digital divide to promote the universal nature of human rights.
