and its benefits, which are reflected positively and directly on human behaviour.

s of all kinds, noting that Qatar has repeatedly affirmed its keenness to pay special attention to the need to respect of human rights standards and laws in organising major Sport
ing events, including the World Cup tournament
to be hosted in 2022.
For his part, NHRC Assistant Secretary General Sultan bin Hassan Al Jamali stressed that the Sport Day reflects human, social and cultural values and represents an important milestone during the year not only for the purpose of taking part in Sport
s but also for assessing and planning Sport
ing actvities during the New Year.
He described Qatar as the Sport
front of the world and its focus on all that related to Sport
as it has hosted international competitions and achieved successes and won the world's confidence in hosting the World Cup 2022.
