from a crisis that deserves a solution." HE also noted that despite the urgent need to reform international
law and the relevant organizations, the existence of these institutions, despite their deficiencies, is a
must.
She added that "out of the belief in the United Nations institutions and the respect for international law,
the State of Qatar has resorted to all available legal channels to consider areas of disagreement, whether
during the Gulf crisis, or in other previous cases, as it welcomed the decisions issued by these institu-
tions."
On the subject of the use of law as a tool in confronting crisis, HE Lolwah Al Khater commended the expe-
rience of the State of Kuwait in the Security Council, mentioning that "Kuwait used its membership to
serve its brothers, support Arab and Islamic causes, and alleviate the suffering of peoples in Syria, Pales-
tine, Iraq, Yemen and Myanmar."
HE the Assistant Foreign Minister and Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicated that the
Covid-19 pandemic brought out the best and the worst at the individual and collective levels, so there
were some countries which have retreated into themselves, and some have not been prevented by the
crisis from extending a helping hand to others.
Her Excellency noted that the State of Qatar was among those States that set an example of what even
geographically small countries can play at the international level, as it sent shipments of medical and hu-
manitarian assistance to more than 70 countries and humanitarian organizations.
She also pointed that Qatar Airways has taken home nearly 3 million passengers, at a time when most of
the world's airports were closed and most airlines stopped operating.
On the matter of vaccine distribution, HE stressed the need for fair laws, reminding the international com-
munity "not to politicize the law regarding aid and vaccination, as there are some parties who seek to en-
act laws to monopolize the vaccine, which is unacceptable and must be fully rejected by the international
QATAR EMBASSY | BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
community."
Her Excellency underlined that there are many challenges facing the international community, noting that
there are two areas that require complete concentration and quick action, with the first being cybersecu-
rity. Especially taking into account that many countries have fallen prey to cyber-attacks and hacking, a
matter that requires the need to accelerate the enactment of international laws that govern the cyber-
space, and regulate international relations in it.
The second area HE listed is the threat of climate change, noting that for some, the climate phenomenon
is an imminent danger that will inevitably come if not confronted quickly. Yet, for small countries and is-
lands such as the Caribbean, the devastating impact of the crisis on their people, environment and econo-
my are a painful reality that they live daily.
HE noted that in this context, "HH the Amir announced in 2019 the State of Qatar's contribution of $ 100
million to deal with the climate change, and that the State of Qatar is proud of its membership in the Paris
Climate Agreement, and hopes that US return to the Agreement, as one of key players in the field of in-
dustry, will represent a glimmer of hope to return to the right path and activate the terms of this agree-
ment, to ensure the reduction of carbon emissions and pollution, and the protection of our planet and
future generations from the threat of climate change."

ple living in the most vulnerable countries, and putting the least
developed countries on the path towards sustainable and com-
prehensive development.

tive of the State of Qatar to the United Nations Ambassador

ence on the Least Developed Countries, which was held at the

ference on the Least Developed Countries.

tries from 23-27 January 2022. She reiterated that the State of Qatar hosting the Conference comes in

ference, noting in this context the participation of HE the Secretary-General of the United Nations Anto-
nio Guterres in the Conference and his full support for it.
She also drew attention to the State of Qatar's keenness to prepare and provide all the requirements that
help in facilitating the success of the Fifth UN Conference, explaining that Qatar National Convention Cen-
ter will host the Conference, as it is one of the largest conference centers in the Middle East and the most
technologically advanced. It also has a state-of-the-art media presentation and production facilities and is
staffed by a team of event and conference management professionals.
In light of the emerging challenges and the changing global landscape, and the additional burden the
coronavirus pandemic placed on the shoulders of the least developed countries, HE expressed the State
of Qatar's full confidence that the Fifth UN Conference on the Least Developed Countries will constitute a
different and transformative event to chart a course that responds to the unprecedented challenges and
strengthen the capacity of the least developed countries to meet these challenges.
She referred to the Istanbul Programme of Action for the Least Developed Countries for the Decade 2011-
2020 in addressing the structural challenges facing the least developed countries, expressing the aspira-
tion of the State of Qatar for the new programme for the next decade to build on the achievements that
have been made and to complete the goals that are still in progress. She added that Doha Plan of Action
will be the first to address the challenges caused by the Coronavirus pandemic and its repercussions on
the least developed countries, in addition to the recovery from the pandemic and its multifaceted effects.
