Vienna: The State of Qatar stressed that the genocide being committed against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is a stark example of the deterioration of international relations and the absence of the rule of law.

This came in the statement of the State of Qatar delivered by the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs HE Dr Ahmed bin Hassan Al Hammadi, who is also the Governor of the State of Qatar to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), before the 68th session of the IAEA's annual General Conference held in Vienna.

His Excellency said that the only way to address this sad scenario is to make joint efforts for the rule of law and democracy in international relations and to strengthen multilateralism and international organizations, noting that global security is indivisible.

His Excellency emphasized the need to declare a permanent and sustainable ceasefire in Gaza urgently and to enable the Palestinian people to exercise their right to self-determination and establish their independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital after history has proven that the policies of occupation, genocide, forced displacement, and collective punishment have not resulted in an end to any conflict, but rather have fueled the continuation and expansion of violence.
