Qatar renewed its commitment to the culture of peace, and warned against fabricating crises and spreading hatred among peoples, indicating that translating the commitment to the "Declaration and Program of Action on a Culture of Peace" entails distancing from policies that undermine the efforts of the international community to promote peace and security.
In a statement before the 75th session of the UN General Assembly to discuss the item "Culture of Peace", HE the Permanent Representative of the State of Qatar to the United Nations Ambassador Sheikha Alya Ahmed bin Saif al-Thani underlined that fabricating crises and spreading hatred among peoples undermine the efforts of the international community to promote a culture of peace, noting that the violation of the sovereignty of states, the interference in their internal affairs, and the lack of respect for international law and human rights, contradict the international community's endeavor to spread a culture of peace.
In this context, HE Sheikha Alya al-Thani pointed to the ongoing unjust blockade imposed on Qatar for more than three years, emphasising that the blockade represents a flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter, which obliges states to refrain from fueling conflicts and resolve differences through dialogue, in line with the provisions of the international law and the United Nations Charter.
