Qatar has reiterated its commitment to combating terrorism in cooperation with the United Nations and to foster peace and security and help create a safer and more stable global environment.
According to the Qatar News Agency (QNA), Abdulaziz Fadala Al-Sulaiti, Representative of Qatar’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations, stated in a speech before the Sixth Committee of the UN General Assembly that Qatar “condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, regardless of its motives or justifications”. He firmly rejected any attempt to associate terrorism with any religion, culture, or nation.
Al-Sulaiti stressed that addressing terrorism requires a genuine collective commitment to the principles of international law, respect for human rights, and rejection of selectivity and politicization in counterterrorism efforts.
He also emphasized the need to avoid exploiting counterterrorism as a pretext for violating rights or discriminating against people under occupation, who are guaranteed the legitimate right to self-determination under international law.
He further noted that the success of global efforts to eliminate terrorism depends on multilateral cooperation that addresses all its dimensions, including root causes, while ensuring full respect for the rule of law and human rights.
