The State of Qatar emphasized on Tuesday its dedication to fostering equality, peaceful coexistence, cultural diversity, and the prohibition of all types of racism. This commitment was reiterated by Third Secretary at the Permanent Mission of Qatar to the United Nations, Amna Abdulla Salatt, during her statements before the Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly.
Salatt highlighted that Qatar's constitution, particularly Articles 18 and 35, underscores the importance of justice, benevolence, freedom, equality, and moral values, as well as the principle of equality before the law with no discrimination based on sex, race, language, or religion.
Qatar's adherence to the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination since 1976 and its ongoing cooperation with the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination were noted. The National Human Rights Committee and the Doha International Center for Interfaith Dialogue are instrumental in promoting social justice, tolerance, and equality.
The permanent mission also addressed the Palestinian issue, reaffirming its support for the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital. This stance is in line with international legitimacy and the Charter of the United Nations.
