The Qatar National Human Rights Committee (QNHRC) has welcomed the report submitted by the UN technical mission from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) which visited Doha between November 17 and 24 last year, reported Gulf Times.

“We welcome the content of the report despite some observations regarding the statistics of the affected people, as well as insufficient attention to some violations,” said QNHRC President Dr Ali bin Smaikh Al Marri.
The OHCHR team had met representatives of 20 governmental and non-governmental organisations and interviewed 40 individuals to get a better understanding of their situation as victims of the illegal blockade of Qatar.

The QNHRC called upon the government to avoid accepting any solution to the prevailing crisis or engaging in negotiations with the blockading countries before lifting of human rights violations and injustices and redressal of the sufferings of the victims caused by the repressive measures, reported The Peninsula.

Al Marri described the report as a first-of-its-kind document to be published by a United Nations (UN) agency, condemning the siege countries and document the worst violations due to their arbitrary procedures and measures. 
“The report unequivocally affirms that the measures taken by the siege countries are arbitrary and unilateral which also explicitly violate international law and the principles of international relations and human rights conventions,” he said. 
The report also praised the Qatar government for not taking any retaliatory measures against the citizens of blockading countries residing in Qatar, reported Qatar Tribune.
