Qatar attends Cairo workshop on humanitarian law
The State of Qatar participated in a workshop on the implementation of international humanitarian law at the national level in Cairo, attended by heads and members of the national committees of Arab countries, as well as representatives from the Egyptian Ministry of Justice and the International Committee of the Red Cross. Qatar’s delegation was led by His Excellency Mr. Saeed bin Abdullah Al-Suwaidi, who emphasized that respect for international humanitarian law is a moral and human responsibility that requires the establishment of effective national frameworks to increase compliance and enforcement, especially in light of modern technological challenges such as artificial intelligence, the protection of cultural property, and medical services during conflicts. He also highlighted the importance of enhancing efforts to develop effective national tools and ownership, and transforming the role of the committees from merely monitoring to becoming ongoing coordination platforms among various institutions, with the aim of enabling joint Arab cooperation. The workshop sessions addressed contemporary challenges, assessed the efforts of the committees, discussed necessary legislation to protect cultural and human symbols during conflicts, and focused on translating theoretical concepts into effective practical applications.
