Amb. Al-Hayen: Aggression On Qatar Has Grave Consequences

(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) GENEVA, Sept 15 (KUNA) -- The Israeli aggression against Qatar violated all laws concerning national sovereignty and it will have grave consequences on the region and the world, Kuwait's Permanent Representative at the UN and International Organizations Headquarters in Geneva, Ambassador Nasser Al-Hayen, said on Monday.
Delivering a statement to members of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Ambassador Al-Hayen -- also serves as head of the Gulf Ambassadors Council -- said it was important to send a clear message that such actions are rejected by international laws conventions, and human rights.
The Council is obliged to look into the protection of human rights in accordance with UNGA resolution 60/251, and must investigate any violations to such rights, he affirmed.
He went on to say that defending human rights is a fundamental tenet of international law and a collective responsibility entrusted to the Council.
He reiterated the GCC's condemnation of the Israeli aggression against the State of Qatar on September ninth, which affected regional and international stability and was considered as a clear violation of global accords and human rights.
Ambassador Al-Hayen also said that the heinous act had garnered widespread condemnation from regional and international entities including the UN and others.
He commended the role of Qatar in mediating and trying to resolve the situation in the Middle East, namely in the Gaza Strip, stating that peace remains the only path to resolving conflicts.
The Human Rights Council agreed on Monday to the GCC countries' request to hold a session on the Israeli aggression against Qatar, which would be held tomorrow. (end)
