La décision prononçant l'interdiction du territoire marocain constitue une décision distincte de celle de reconduite à la frontière. Elle est motivée et ne peut intervenir qu'après que l'intéressé ait présenté ses observations. Elle comporte de plein droit reconduite à la frontière de l'étranger concerné. Article 23 :L'étranger, qui fait l'objet d'une décision de reconduite à la frontière, peut, dans les quarante-huit heures suivant la notification, demander l'annulation de cette décision au président du tribunal administratif, en sa qualité de juge des référés.

Cette décision ne peut être exécutée avant l'expiration d'un délai de quarante-huit heures suivant sa notification ou, si le président du tribunal administratif est saisi, avant qu'il n'ait statué. Si la décision de reconduite à la frontière est annulée, il est immédiatement mis fin aux mesures de surveillance prévues à l'article 34 ci-dessous, et l'étranger est muni d'une autorisation provisoire de séjour jusqu'à ce qu'une décision relative à sa situation soit de nouveau prononcée par l'administration. Le jugement du président du tribunal administratif est susceptible d'appel devant la chambre administrative de la Cour suprême dans un délai d'un mois à compter de la date de notification.

De même, aucun étranger ne peut être éloigné à destination d'un pays s'il établit que sa vie ou sa liberté y sont menacées ou qu'il y est exposé à des traitements inhumains, cruels ou dégradants.Article 30 :La décision fixant le pays de renvoi constitue une décision distincte de la mesure d'éloignement elle-même. Le recours contre cette décision n'a pas d'effet suspensif dans les conditions prévues à l'article 24 si l'intéressé n'a pas formé le recours prévu à l'article 28 ci-dessus contre la décision d'expulsion ou de reconduite prononcée à son encontre. Article 31 :L'étranger qui fait l'objet d'une décision d'expulsion ou qui doit être reconduit à la frontière et qui justifie être dans l'impossibilité de quitter le territoire marocain en établissant qu'il ne peut regagner son pays d'origine ou se rendre dans un autre pays, pour les raisons indiquées au dernier alinéa de l'article 29, peut, par dérogation à l'article 34 ci-dessous, être astreint à résider dans les lieux qui lui sont fixés par l'administration.

Article 37 :Lorsque l'entrée au territoire marocain par voie aérienne ou maritime est refusée à un étranger, l'entreprise de transport qui l'a acheminé est tenue de ramener cet étranger, sans délai, à la requête des autorités compétentes chargées du contrôle aux postes frontières, au point où il a commencé à utiliser le moyen de transport de cette entreprise ou, en cas d'impossibilité, dans le pays qui a délivré le document de voyage avec lequel il a voyagé ou en tout autre lieu où il peut être admis.
Annex 122

Les dispositions de l'alinéa précédent sont applicables lorsque l'entrée au territoire marocain est refusée à un étranger en transit : 1 - si l'entreprise de transport qui devait l'acheminer dans le pays de destination ultérieure refuse de l'embarquer ; 2 -si les autorités du pays de destination lui ont refusé l'entrée et l'ont renvoyé au Maroc. Lorsqu'un refus d'entrée a été prononcé pour défaut de l'un des documents visés à l'article 3 ci-dessus, et à compter de la prise de la décision, les frais de séjour de l'étranger, pendant le délai nécessaire à son réacheminement, ainsi que les frais de réacheminement, incombent à l'entreprise de transport qui l'a débarqué au Maroc. Article 38 :L'étranger qui arrive au territoire marocain, par voie maritime ou aérienne, et qui n'est pas autorisé à y entrer, ou demande son admission au titre de l'asile, peut être maintenu dans la zone d'attente du port ou de l'aéroport pendant le temps strictement nécessaire à son départ ou à l'examen tendant à déterminer si sa demande n'est pas manifestement infondée. La zone d'attente est délimitée par l'administration. Elle s'étend des points d'embarquement et de débarquement à ceux où sont effectués les contrôles de personnes. Elle peut inclure, sur l'emprise du port ou de l'aéroport, un ou plusieurs lieux d'hébergement assurant aux étrangers concernés les prestations nécessaires. Le maintien en zone d'attente est prononcé pour une durée qui ne peut excéder quarante-huit heures par une décision écrite et motivée de l'administration. Cette décision est inscrite sur un registre mentionnant l'état civil de l'intéressé ainsi que la date et l'heure de la notification de la décision de maintien. Elle est portée, sans délai, à la connaissance du procureur du Roi. Elle peut être renouvelée dans les mêmes conditions et pour la même durée. L'étranger est libre de quitter à tout moment la zone d'attente pour toute destination située hors du territoire marocain. Il peut demander l'assistance d'un interprète et d'un médecin et communiquer avec un avocat ou toute personne de son choix. Le maintien de l'étranger en zone d'attente au-delà de quatre jours, à compter de la décision initiale, peut être autorisé par le président du tribunal de première instance ou un magistrat du siège délégué par lui, en sa qualité de juge des référés pour une durée qui ne peut être supérieure à huit jours. L'autorité administrative expose dans sa saisine les raisons pour lesquelles l'étranger n'a pu être rapatrié ou, s'il a demandé l'asile, il n'a pu être admis et le délai nécessaire pour assurer son départ de la zone d'attente. Le président du tribunal ou son délégué statue après audition de l'intéressé, en présence de son avocat s'il en a un, ou celui-ci dûment averti. L'étranger peut également demander au président ou à son délégué le concours d'un interprète et la communication de son dossier. L'ordonnance rendue par le président ou son délégué est susceptible d'appel sans formes devant le premier président de la Cour d'appel ou son délégué. Celui-ci doit statuer sur l'appel dans les quarante-huit heures, de sa saisine. Le droit d'appel appartient à l'intéressé, au ministère public et au représentant de l'autorité administrative locale. L'appel n'est pas suspensif.
Annex 122
416
A titre exceptionnel, le maintien en zone d'attente au-delà de douze jours peut être renouvelé, dans les conditions prévues au 5e alinéa du présent article, par le président du tribunal de première instance ou son délégué, pour une durée qu'il détermine et qui ne peut être supérieure à huit jours. Pendant toute la durée du maintien en zone d'attente, l'étranger dispose des droits qui lui sont reconnus au présent article. Le procureur du Roi ainsi que le président du tribunal de première instance ou son délégué, peuvent se rendre sur place pour vérifier les conditions de ce maintien et se faire communiquer le registre mentionné au 3e alinéa du présent article. Si le maintien en zone d'attente n'est pas prolongé au terme du délai fixé par la dernière décision de maintien, l'étranger est autorisé à entrer sur le territoire marocain sous couvert d'un visa de régularisation de huit jours. Il devra avoir quitté le territoire marocain à l'expiration de ce délai, sauf s'il obtient une autorisation provisoire de séjour ou un récépissé de demande de la carte d'immatriculation. Les dispositions du présent article s'appliquent également à l'étranger qui se trouve en transit dans un port ou un aéroport si l'entreprise de transport qui devait l'acheminer dans le pays de destination ultérieure refuse de l'embarquer ou si les autorités du pays de destination lui ont refusé l'entrée et l'on renvoyé au Maroc. Toutefois l'étranger résidant au Maroc, quelle que soit la nature de son titre de séjour, peut être obligé par décision de l'administration, de déclarer à l'autorité administrative son intention de quitter le territoire marocain et de fournir à ladite autorité ce qui justifie son respect de cette obligation. Article 39 :Tout étranger résident au Maroc, quelle que soit la nature de son titre de séjour, peut quitter librement le territoire national à l'exception de l'étranger à l'encontre duquel est prononcée une décision administrative l'obligeant à déclarer à l'autorité administrative son intention de quitter le territoire marocain. Chapitre VII : Circulation des étrangers Article 40 :L'étranger doit être en mesure de présenter à toute réquisition des agents de l'autorité et des services chargés du contrôle, les pièces et documents sous le couvert desquels il est autorisé à séjourner sur le territoire marocain. Lorsqu'un étranger est autorisé à séjourner au Maroc, sous couvert d'un titre de voyage revêtu d'un visa requis pour les séjours n'excédant pas trois mois, ce visa peut être annulé si l'étranger exerce au Maroc une activité lucrative, sans avoir été régulièrement autorisé, ou s'il existe des indices concordants permettant de présumer que l'intéressé est venu au Maroc pour s'y établir, ou si son comportement trouble l'ordre public. Article 41 :Sous réserve des dispositions de l'article 40 ci-dessus, les étrangers séjournent et circulent sur l'ensemble du territoire marocain. Toutefois, lorsqu'un étranger non titulaire de la carte de résidence doit, en raison de son attitude ou de ses antécédents, être soumis à une surveillance spéciale, l'administration peut lui interdire de résider dans une ou plusieurs provinces ou préfectures ou lui indiquer, à
Annex 122
417
l'intérieur de ces dernières, une ou plusieurs circonscriptions de son choix. Mention de la décision est portée sur le titre de séjour de l'intéressé. Les étrangers visés à l'alinéa précédent ne peuvent se déplacer en dehors de la zone de validité de leur titre de séjour sans être munis d'un sauf-conduit délivré par les services de police ou, à défaut, ceux de la gendarmerie royale. Chapitre VII : Dispositions pénalesArticle 42 :Est puni d'une amende de 2.000 à 20.000 dirhams et d'un emprisonnement de un mois à six mois, ou de l'une de ces deux peines seulement, tout étranger pénétrant ou tentant de pénétrer sur le territoire marocain, en violation des dispositions de l'article3 de la présente loi, ou qui s'est maintenu sur le territoire marocain au-delà de la durée autorisée par son visa, sauf cas de force majeure ou excuses reconnues valables. En cas de récidive, la peine est portée au double. L'autorité administrative peut, toutefois, eu égard aux impératifs découlant de la sécurité et de l'ordre public, expulser l'étranger vers le pays dont il est ressortissant ou vers un autre pays, selon le souhait formulé par l'intéressé. Article 43 :Est puni d'une amende de 5.000 à 30.000 dirhams et d'un emprisonnement de un mois à un an, ou l'une de ces deux peines seulement, tout étranger qui réside au Maroc sans être titulaire de la carte d'immatriculation ou de la carte de résidence prévues par la présente loi. En cas de récidive, la peine est portée au double. Article 44 :Est puni d'une amende de 3.000 à 10.000 dirhams et d'un emprisonnement de un mois à six mois, ou de l'une de ces deux peines seulement, tout étranger dont la carte d'immatriculation ou la carte de résidence est arrivée à expiration et qui ne formule pas, dans les délais prescrits par la loi, une demande de renouvellement, sauf cas de force majeure ou d'excuses reconnues valables. En cas de récidive, la peine est portée au double. Article 45 :Est puni d'un emprisonnement de six mois à deux ans tout étranger qui se sera soustrait ou qui aura tenté de se soustraire à l'exécution d'une décision d'expulsion ou d'une mesure de reconduite à la frontière ou qui, expulsé ou ayant fait l'objet d'une interdiction du territoire marocain, aura pénétré de nouveau sans autorisation sur ce territoire. En cas de récidive, la peine est portée au double. Le tribunal peut, en outre, prononcer à l'encontre du condamné l'interdiction du territoire marocain pour une durée de deux à dix ans. L'interdiction du territoire marocain emporte de plein droit reconduite à la frontière à l'expiration de la peine d'emprisonnement du condamné. Article 46 :Est puni d'une amende de 3.000 à 10.000 dirhams et d'un emprisonnement de trois mois à un an, ou de l'une de ces deux peines seulement l'étranger, qui n'a pas rejoint dans les délais prescrits la résidence qui lui est assignée en vertu des dispositions de l'article31 ou qui, ultérieurement, a quitté cette résidence sans autorisation.

Est puni d'une amende de 3.000 à 10.000 dirhams et d'un emprisonnement de trois mois à un an, ou de l'une de ces deux peines seulement l'étranger, qui a établi son domicile ou qui séjourne dans une circonscription territoriale en infraction aux dispositions de l'article 41.

L'infraction est constatée par un procès-verbal établi par un officier de police judiciaire. Copie du procès-verbal est remise au transporteur ou à l'entreprise de transport intéressée. Le transporteur ou l'entreprise de transport a accès au dossier. Il est mis à même de présenter ses observations écrites dans un délai d'un mois. L'amende prévue au présent article n'est pas infligée lorsque : 1 - l'étranger qui demande l'asile a été admis sur le territoire marocain ou lorsque la demande d'asile n'était pas manifestement infondée ; 2 - le transporteur ou l'entreprise de transport établit que les documents requis lui ont été présentés, au moment de l'embarquement, ou que les documents présentés ne comportent pas un élément d'irrégularité manifeste ; 3 - le transporteur ou l'entreprise n'a pu procéder, au moment de l'embarquement, à la vérification du document de voyage et, le cas échéant, du visa des passagers empruntant ses services, à condition d'avoir justifié d'un contrôle à l'entrée sur le territoire marocain. Article 49 :Toute personne condamnée est dans le cas de récidive si elle a commis l'un des actes mentionnés aux articles 42 à 48 ci-dessus durant les cinq ans qui suivent la date d'un jugement ayant acquis la force de la chose Jugée prononcé à son encontre pour des actes similaires.

Sont également pris en compte les revenus perçus à l'étranger, dans les collectivités d'outre-mer et enNouvelle-Calédonie ainsi que les revenus soumis au taux forfaitaire et ne figurant pas à la ligne précitée de l'avisfiscal. La décision relative au droit à bourse de l'étudiant ne peut être prise que sur la base de l'avis fiscal demandé.La simple communication du document intitulé « Justificatif d'impôt sur le revenu » n'est pas suffisante.1.1 - Dispositions particulièresDans les situations attestées par une évaluation sociale révélant l'incapacité de l'un des parents à remplir sonobligation alimentaire, une bourse d'enseignement supérieur sur critères sociaux pourra être accordée sur la base duseul revenu du foyer fiscal concerné.1.1.1 - Parent isoléSi sur la déclaration fiscale du parent de l'étudiant figure la lettre « T » correspondant à la situation de parent isolé(définie au dernier alinéa de l'article L. 262-9 du Code de l'action sociale et des familles), les revenus du seul parentconcerné sont pris en compte, sauf dans le cas où la lettre « T » figure sur la déclaration fiscale des deux parents del'étudiant.Il en est de même si le parent qui a la charge de l'étudiant peut justifier être bénéficiaire de l'allocation de soutienfamilial ou du revenu de solidarité active majoré au titre de la situation de parent isolé.1.1.2 - Parents de l'étudiant séparés (divorce, séparation de corps, dissolution du Pacs, séparation de fait)En cas de séparation, les revenus pris en compte sont ceux du parent ayant à sa charge l'étudiant, sous réservequ'une décision de justice ou un acte sous signature privée contresigné par avocats et déposé chez un notaireprévoie pour l'autre parent l'obligation du versement d'une pension alimentaire.En l'absence d'une décision de justice ou d'un acte sous signature privée contresigné par avocats et déposé chez unnotaire prévoyant le versement d'une pension alimentaire, les ressources des deux parents sont prises en compte.En l'absence d'une telle décision ou d'un tel acte et dans le cas du versement volontaire d'une pension alimentaire,les revenus des deux parents sont pris en compte en veillant à ne pas comptabiliser deux fois la pension alimentaire.Lorsqu'une décision de justice ou un acte sous signature privée contresigné par avocats et déposé chez un notaireprévoit la résidence alternée de l'étudiant chez ses deux parents au moment de sa minorité, les revenus des deuxparents sont pris en compte, même en cas de versement d'une pension alimentaire d'un parent à l'autre parent enveillant à ne pas comptabiliser deux fois la pension alimentaire. Toutefois, si la convention homologuée par le juge, ladécision judiciaire ou, le cas échéant, l'accord cosigné par les parents prévoit que l'étudiant est à la charge de l'und'entre eux ou s'il est justifié et fiscalement reconnu que l'un d'entre eux assume la charge principale de l'étudiant, lesrevenus pris en compte sont ceux du parent ayant à sa charge l'étudiant.Dans le cas de l'étudiant majeur ne figurant pas sur la décision de justice ou l'acte sous signature privée contresignépar avocats et déposé chez un notaire, il convient de retenir les ressources soit du parent qui a la charge fiscale del'étudiant, soit de celui ou ceux qui lui versent directement une pension alimentaire.En l'absence de la mention du versement d'une pension alimentaire dans la décision de justice ou l'acte soussignature privée contresigné par avocats et déposé chez un notaire, les ex-conjoints peuvent attester du fait, dûmentconstaté et fiscalement reconnu, que chacun d'entre eux a la charge d'un de leurs enfants au moins ; il conviendraalors d'examiner le droit à bourse sur la base du seul revenu du foyer fiscal concerné.Bulletin officiel n°27 du 5 juillet 2018© Ministère de l'éducation nationale > www.education.gouv8

Telephone: +61 2 6263 3795 | Email: [email protected] | Website: www.firb.gov.au GUIDANCE NOTE 34 MONETARY SCREENING THRESHOLDS One of the tests in determining whether an action is a significant action under the Foreign Investment and Takeovers Act 1975 is whether the monetary screening threshold test is met. Some significant actions (called notifiable actions) must be notified to the Treasurer before the actions can be taken. This guidance note outlines the monetary screening thresholds. • For further information on significant and notifiable actions, see Guidance Note 35. Monetary screening thresholds are met when either the amount paid for an interest or the value of an entity or assets exceeds the threshold amount, depending on the type of action. The exception is for agricultural land, where the test is cumulative. Monetary screening thresholds are indexed annually on 1 January except for the $15 million agricultural land threshold and the $50 million land threshold for Singapore and Thailand investors, which are not indexed. FREE TRADE AGREEMENT COUNTRY INVESTORS Australia currently has nine free trade agreements (FTAs) in force with: the 10 ASEAN members, Chile, China1, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand and the United States. Australia has also recently concluded the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement. Under these agreements Australia has made various commitments relating to foreign investment screening. These commitments determine what monetary screening thresholds apply to investors from certain countries. Under the foreign investment framework, only ‘agreement country’ investors that are either a ‘national’ or an ‘enterprise’ of an agreement country are able to access the higher FTA thresholds.2 An ‘enterprise’ is generally an entity (or a branch of an entity) that is constituted or organised under the law of the country and that is carrying on business activities there. For most types of investments, the relevant monetary thresholds have been unaffected by the 2015 reforms. For some agreement countries, new thresholds apply for agribusinesses, agricultural land, and non-sensitive developed real estate. These are outlined in the tables below. 1 Subject to entry-into-force of the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement. 2 Applies to countries that meet the specific definitions set out in the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Regulation 2015 (see section 6 (meaning of enterprise of a country) and section 8 (meaning of national of a country)).

Monetary Screening Thresholds Guidance Note 34 — Version 1: November 2015 Page 2 NON-LAND PROPOSALS The monetary screening thresholds for acquisitions of interests in securities in an entity or issuing securities in an entity is based on the total asset value or total issued securities value for the entity (whichever is higher). The monetary screening threshold for acquisitions of interests in the assets of an Australian business is based on the total consideration for the acquisition. The monetary screening thresholds for agribusinesses are based on the consideration for the acquisition.3 This includes the total value of other interests held by the foreign person (with associates) in the entity. Non-land proposals Investor Action Threshold — more than: From FTA partner countries that have the higher threshold Acquisitions in non-sensitive businesses $1,094 million Acquisitions in sensitive businesses4 $252 million Media sector5 $0 Agribusinesses For Chile, New Zealand and United States, $1,094 million. For China, Japan, and Korea, $55 million (based on the value of the consideration for the acquisition and the total value of other interests held by the foreign person (with associates) in the entity) Other investors Business acquisitions (all sectors) $252 million Media sector $0 Agribusinesses $55 million (based on the value of the consideration for the acquisition and the total value of other interests held by the foreign person (with associates) in the entity) Foreign government investors All direct interests in an Australian entity or Australian business $0 Starting a new Australian business $0 3 Excludes non-government investors from Chile, New Zealand and the United States. 4 Sensitive businesses include media; telecommunications; transport; defence and military related industries and activities; encryption and securities technologies and communications systems; and the extraction of uranium or plutonium; or the operation of nuclear facilities. 5 For investments in the media sector, a holding of at least five per cent requires notification and prior approval regardless of the value of investment.

Monetary Screening Thresholds Guidance Note 34 — Version 1: November 2015 Page 3 LAND PROPOSALS The monetary screening thresholds for acquisitions of Australian land (except agricultural land) are based on the value of the proposed investment, not the total value of the land itself. The $15 million screening threshold for acquisitions of agricultural land is based on the cumulative interests in agricultural land held by the foreign person (with associates). It is met if an acquisition would mean that the value of all the interests held in agricultural land exceeds the threshold amount. Land proposals Investor Action Threshold — more than: All investors Residential land $0 Privately owned investors from FTA partner countries that have the higher threshold Agricultural land For Chile, New Zealand and United States, $1,094 million For China, Japan, Korea, $15 million (cumulative) Vacant commercial land $0 Developed commercial land $1,094 million Mining and production tenements For Chile, New Zealand and United States, $1,094 million Others, $0 Privately owned investors from non-FTA countries and FTA countries that do not have the higher threshold Agricultural land For Singapore and Thailand, where land is used wholly and exclusively for a primary production business $50 million (otherwise the land is not agricultural land) Others $15 million (cumulative) Vacant commercial land $0 Developed commercial land $252 million Low threshold land (sensitive land)6, $55 million Mining and production tenements $0 Foreign government investors Any interest in land $0 FURTHER INFORMATION Further information is available on the FIRB website at www.firb.gov.au or by contacting +61 2 6263 3795.

United States Department of Treasury Press Release,
“Treasury Designates Al-Qa’ida Supporters in Qatar and Yemen”,
18 December 2013
633
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURYPress Center Treasury Designates Al-Qa’ida Supporters in Qatar and Yemen 12/18/2013 WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Treasury today imposed sanctions on two al-Qa'ida supporters based in Qatar and Yemen. Abd al-Rahman bin 'Umayr al-Nu'aymi (Nu'aymi) and `Abd al-Wahhab Muhammad `Abd al-Rahman al-Humayqani (Humayqani) were named as Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs) pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13224. Nu'aymi was designated for providing financial support to al-Qa'ida, Asbat al-Ansar, al-Qa'ida in Iraq, and al-Shabaab, and Humayqani was designated for providing financial support to and acting on behalf of al-Qa'ida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). "It is essential for countries to take proactive steps to disrupt terrorist financing, especially where al-Qa'ida and its affiliates are concerned. We will continue to work with our partners in the Gulf to ensure that charitable donations are not used to support violence in the region or elsewhere," said Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence David S. Cohen.Nu'aymi is a Qatar-based terrorist financier and facilitator who has provided money and material support and conveyed communications to al-Qa'ida and its affiliates in Syria, Iraq, Somalia and Yemen for more than a decade. He was considered among the most prominent Qatar-based supporters of Iraqi Sunni extremists. Humayqani has used his Yemen-based charity as a cover for funneling financial support to AQAP and has frequently traveled throughout the Arabian Peninsula while conducting business for AQAP. During political unrest in Yemen, Humayqani reportedly assisted AQAP in gaining a foothold and safe haven in al-Bayda' Governorate, Yemen and as of mid-2011 served as the acting AQAP amir there. Both Nu'aymi and Humayqani are at the center of global support networks that fund and facilitate terrorism.As a result of today's designation, any assets these individuals may have under U.S. jurisdiction are frozen, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from doing business with them.'Abd al-Rahman bin 'Umayr al-Nu'aymiIn 2013, Nu'aymi ordered the transfer of nearly $600,000 to al-Qa'ida via al-Qa'ida's representative in Syria, Abu-Khalid al-Suri, and intended to transfer nearly $50,000 more. Nu'aymi has facilitated significant financial support to al-Qa'ida in Iraq, and served as an interlocutor between al-Qa'ida in Iraq leaders and Qatar-based donors. Nu'aymi reportedly oversaw the transfer of over $2 million per month to al-Qa'ida in Iraq for a period of time. He also served as an interlocutor between these Qatari nationals and al-Qa'ida in Iraq leaders. Between 2003 and 2004, Nu'aymi provided support to the Iraqi insurgency more broadly and served as a conduit for their broadcast materials to media outlets.Nu'aymi as of mid-2012 provided approximately $250,000 to two U.S.-designated al-Shabaab figures, Mukhtar Robow and Sheikh Hassan Aweys Ali, the latter of whom is also designated by the United Nations (UN). Also in 2012, Nuaymi provided financial support to a charity headed by Yemen-based Abd al-Wahhab Muhammad 'Abd al-Rahman al-Humayqani, who channeled funding to AQAP.`Abd al-Wahhab Muhammad `Abd al-Rahman al-HumayqaniIn his capacity as the head of a Yemen-based charity, Humayqani has used his status in the charitable community to fundraise and has provided some of that funding to AQAP and has facilitated financial transfers from AQAP supporters in Saudi Arabia to Yemen in support of AQAP operations. As of 2012, Humayqani was an important figure within AQAP and reportedly had a relationship with important AQAP leaders. Humayqani and others in March 2012 reportedly orchestrated an AQAP attack on a Yemeni Republican Guard base in al-Bayda' Governorate, Yemen. The attack employed multiple vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices and killed seven. He is suspected to have recruited individuals to AQAP who were involved in a plot to assassinate Yemeni officials.Humayqani has provided financial support and other services to AQAP and acted for or on behalf of the group. He has represented AQAP in meetings with Yemeni officials to negotiate the release of Yemeni soldiers held by AQAP and worked with AQAP operatives to coordinate the movement of AQAP fighters within Yemen. Humayqani has directed a group of armed AQAP associates that intended to carry out attacks on Yemeni government facilities and institutions, including a Yemeni government building in al-Bayda Governorate. He has also recruited individuals in Sana, Yemen on behalf of AQAP in support of AQAP efforts in southern Yemen.Along with the U.S. and UN designated cleric Shaykh Abd al-Majid al-Zindani, he has issued religious guidance in support of AQAP operations. Humayqani and AQAP leadership have planned to establish a new political party in Yemen, which AQAP planned to use as a cover for the recruitment and training of fighters and a means to attract broader support. AQAP leadership decided that Humayani would play a public role as a leader and spokesman for the new political party.

Report on the non-compliance by the UAE with the ICJ’s decision six months following its adoption4The National Human Rights Committee of Qatar at a glance The National Human Rights Committee (hereafter “NHRC”) of Qatar is a National Human Rights Institution established in accordance with the Paris Principles adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 20 December 1993. National Human Rights Institutions become members of the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions after being accredited by the Sub-Committee on Accreditation of the Global Al-liance, under the supervision of the National Institutions, Regional Mechanisms and Civil Society Division of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. The NHRC was established in 2002 and vested with the mandate to protect and promote human rights as defined by the Paris Principles. The NHRC was accredited under Status A in 2010 for a period of 5 years and was reaccredited under Status A in 2015 for another 5 years. Status A is the highest rating given to a national institution demonstrating a high level of credibility, independence and compliance with the Paris Principles. I) IntroductionDiscrimination on the basis of race, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin strikes at the very heart of the human core and the essence of humanity. This is to such a discrimination in the enjoyment of their funda-mental rights that the residents and citizens of the State of Qatar have been exposed following the arbitrary decisions and actions taken by the United Arab Emirates on 5 June 2017.The purpose of this report is to highlight the United Arab Emirates’ non-compliance with the decision of the International Court of Justice (hereafter “ICJ”) adopted on 23 July 2018 in reply to the request for the indication of provisional measures submitted by the State of Qatar in relation with the case filed by the latter in accordance with article 22 of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination of 21 December 1965. The NHRC has welcomed the adoption by the ICJ of two types of provisional measures. The Court has first reminded the United Arab Emirates (hereafter “UAE”) of their duty to comply with their international obliga-tions under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, by indicating provi-sional measures set to protect specific rights such as the right to the reunification of families that include a Qatari, which have been separated, the right to education and the right to have access to tribunals and other judicial organs of the UAE. The ICJ has also requested both Parties to refrain from any action which might aggravate or extend the dispute before the Court or make it more difficult to resolve.Continuing violations by the UAE of the rights of citizens and residents of the State of Qatar. 745 cases of violations registered since the ICJ’s decision of 23 July 2018.

Report on the non-compliance by the UAE with the ICJ’s decision six months following its adoption5 II) Executive Summary• This report aims to show the extent to which the UAE have implemented the provisional measures indicated by the ICJ in its order of 23 July 2018. This order request notably the UAE to respect their obligations under the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, in respect of their practices and actions that violate human rights of the citizens and residents of Qatar. This report covers the period subsequent to the abovementioned ICJ’s order, that is from 23 July 2018 to 15 January 2019. The information contained in this report is based mainly on the complaints on viola-tions received by the NHRC at its headquarters, and through the NHRC’s hotline which it specifically set for that, by e-mail to the NHRC and other information-gathering activities undertaken by the NHRC.• In its application filed against the UAE following their violation of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the State of Qatar has respectfully requested the ICJ to order the UAE to take all necessary measures to comply with their obligations under this convention to which they are a party.• This report highlights the human rights issues that the UAE continues to violate and take unilateral arbi-trary measures against the State of Qatar despite the issuance of the ICJ’s decision, including statistics on every violation committed by the UAE against citizens of Qatar and its residents related to human rights. The total number of violations that have been monitored by the NHRC amount to 1099 which in-volve several rights. This report however deals with the sole violations that fall within the ICJ’s decision, that is the right to family reunification, the right to education and the right to have access to tribunals and other judicial organs of the UAE. Since the latter right is essential for the implementation of the right to property and the right to work, these two rights have also been taken into account in the statistics on violations identified in this report, which amount to 745.• The report also addresses the continuing escalation of the Gulf crisis by the UAE through the dissemi-nation of hate speech and incitement to violence and the broadcast of racist speech against the State of Qatar and its inhabitants.• This report further recalls the content of the legal obligations to which the UAE are bound as a party to
Annex 156
676
Report on the non-compliance by the UAE with the ICJ’s decision six months following its adoption6the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and whose viola-tion falls within the jurisdiction of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and of the ICJ.• In conclusion, this report highlights the failure of the UAE to comply with the provisional measures indi-cated by the ICJ in order to resolve the dispute and not to aggravate it.• The last part of this report includes a number of recommendations addressed to the ICJ, the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the Government of the United Arab Emirates and the Gov-ernment of the State of Qatar; these recommendations aim to establish a clear and joint mechanism to ensure the effective implementation of the ICJ’s order. III) Methodology• The information contained in the present report is based on the complaints examined the NHRC and submitted by the victims at the headquarters, through calls on the hotline, or via the NHRC’s e-mail since the beginning of the blockade on 5 June 2017.• Each victim who filed a complaint with the NHRC was required to open a file, provide the necessary evidence and documents and communicate any new developments to the NHRC.• After the ICJ issued its order, the NHRC established two hotlines specifically dedicated to cases involv-ing the UAE and falling within the jurisdiction of the ICJ.• From 25 July 2018, the CNDH also contacted all victims of violations by the UAE to inform them of the provisional measures indicated by the ICJ and the rights resulting therefrom for them; the CNDH also invited them to contact it in case of difficulties. • The NHRC contacted again all victims by telephone during the first week of September 2018 to update their cases. The NHRC requested the complainants to deliver any additional documents either in per-son or via the NHRC’s e-mail, stressing the need to provide original copies of their files.• In December 2018, the NHRC contacted all the victims mentioned in this report for their approval and authorization to include their cases in the report and to confirm details and receive updates.

Report on the non-compliance by the UAE with the ICJ’s decision six months following its adoption7 IV) Continuing violations of the rights protected by the Order of the International Court of JusticeThe following table shows the number of cases received by those affected by the violations reported and documented by the NHRC, which amount to 745. The table includes violations against citizens and resi-dents of the State of Qatar which continue despite the ICJ’s decision of 23 July 2018.1) Right to educationThe unilateral and arbitrary measures imposed on the State of Qatar by the UAE constitute a major reason for the sus-pension of education for Qatari students who are receiving their education in the UAE, since it is no longer possible for these students to resume their education and attend their universities there. The ICJ’s decision rules that Qatari stu-dents are allowed to receive education or training in UAE institutions or that they must have access to their educa-tional records if they wish to continue their studies in another country. Despite of that, the NHRC has documented 159 violations of this rights affecting students of Qatari national-ity or residents in Qatar, out of which only 6 have been ad-dressed. Violations of this right continue, since students are still denied access to their educational institutions and there is no clear monitoring mechanism in the UAE in this regard.From the evidence received by the CNDH, it is clear that the UAE authorities have not yet taken the neces-sary measures or created a mechanism to implement the provisional measures ordered by the ICJ because academic institutions still do not cooperate with the expelled Qatari students. The absence of measures to enable students to complete their studies has the following consequences for them:- Not being able to complete their education in the UAE;- Not being refunded the amounts they paid to universities in the UAE;- Being denied access to their educational records;- Incurring additional financial costs to continue their studies in universities in other countries;- Being delayed in completing their studies by about one year and a half; and- Being offered no compensation for that delays.Continuing violation by the UAE of the right to education of citizens and residents of the State of Qatar. 153 violations since the ICJ’s decision of 23 July 2018.Right to EducationRight to Family ReunificationRight to Access Tribunals & Other Judicial OrgansTotalUAE15387Right to PropertyRight to Work7454987Total15387505745ViolationStateStatistics as of15 January 2019

Report on the non-compliance by the UAE with the ICJ’s decision six months following its adoption8It should be stressed that expelling and suspending students without any legal basis and preventing them from attending school violates not only their right to education, but also their right to free movement and residence guaranteed by international law.The number of students affected by unilateral and arbitrary measures taken by the UAE stands at 153. The following few examples will illustrate the finding that the right to education of a large number of students continues to be violated despite the provisional measures ordered by the International Court of Justice.[First example: Mr. Y.M.E.1, of Qatari nationality]Mr. Y.M.E. is a student at Ajman University of Science and Technology (UAE) in his last academic year. He completed 93 hours’ contact time of the course. On 27 August 2018, he arrived at Muscat Airport to leave to the UAE on “SalamAir”. The airline officials however did not allow him to take the flight to Dubai despite confirmation of his reservations, and reported that they had instructions from the UAE authorities that he is not permitted to take the flight to Dubai, and this subsequently to the ICJ’s ruling. This led to the delay of the scheduled dates at the university. No action has been taken in this regard even after the student contacted with the university on 5 September 2018.[Second example: Ms. A.A.I.2, of Qatari nationality]Ms. A.A.I. is a 4th year student at the University of Sharjah (UAE), specializing in architecture. She was sup-posed to graduate after a year. She was contacted by phone and through e-mail by the university informing her that her studies have been suspended on the third day in the summer semester for the reason that she is a Qatari. The complainant stated that despite all her attempts, she had not received any response so far even after the ICJ issued a decision obliging the UAE to allow university students to continue with their university education or to obtain their academic records. Her latest attempts to get into contact with her university was in September 2018.[Third example: Ms. S.A.I.3, of Qatari nationality]Ms. S.A.I. is a student at the University of Abu Dhabi and was unable to complete her remaining exams. There were only two subjects to finish before graduation and she was supposed to do the exams in August 2017. The victim complained that despite her attempts to communicate with the university in the UAE in August 2018, she is still prohibited from completing her university studies even after the ICJ’s decision.[Fourth example: Ms. B.D.R.4, of Qatari nationality]Ms. B.D.R. is a student at the University of Sharjah and she was unable to attend the graduation ceremony, which adversely affected her psychological state. She was also unable to obtain her academic records and other documents from the university. She also tried to communicate with the university but there was no re-sponse; furthermore her university account was suspended. She complained to the NHRC that despite her attempts to reach out to the university even after the ICJ’s decision, she has not yet received any response from the university. Her last attempt to obtain her education records was in October 2018.2. File no. 176134. File no. 189993. File no. 179291. File no. 18365

Report on the non-compliance by the UAE with the ICJ’s decision six months following its adoption9[Fifth example: Mr. S.T.S.5, Jordanian national residing in the State of Qatar]Mr. S.T.S. is a student at the Emirates University of Aviation and is residing in the State of Qatar. He was unable to complete his studies at the university because he holds a residence permit in the State of Qatar. He paid tuition fees and insurance fees and was unable to obtain his records or refund the amounts he paid despite his attempts to communicate with the university. Until 25 November 2018, that is even after the ICJ’s decision, the aforementioned student has attempted to get into contact with the University but not to avail.2) Right to family reunificationOne of the most important repercussions of the unilateral and arbitrary measures taken by the UAE against the State of Qa-tar are the challenges faced by the mixed families. These measures have caused the dispersal of Gulf families, difficulty in reuniting the mixed families and disruption of the social fabric of the Gulf families. The most serious problems and issues are relating to the most vulnerable groups, such as children and mothers who found themselves victims of these arbitrary measures. According to the ICJ Order, the UAE must ensure the re-unification of separated families through the measures it took on 5 June 2017. The UAE was expected to take all necessary measures, including the establishment of a clear mechanism to ensure the reunification of separated families.This family separation also had repercussions on the right to freedom of movement as mixed families were prevented from travelling between the State of Qatar and the UAE. These unilateral and arbitrary measures have caused serious psychological damage to the persons concerned. The NHRC has further documented some cases where family members have been allowed to enter the UAE after being harassed at the airport and exposed to difficult entry procedures. However, in most cases, members of the same family have not been allowed access to UAE territory.The following few examples will illustrate the finding that the right to family reunification of a large number of persons continues to be violated despite the provisional measures ordered by the Inter-national Court of Justice.[First example: Mr. Kh.A.A 6, of Qatari nationality]Mr. Kh.A.A. stated that following the issuance of the ICJ’s decision, he travelled to the Sultanate of Oman where he stayed with his family for 4 days starting from 14 November 2018. When his family was return-ing to the Emirates on 18 November 2018, they were not allowed to board the “Fly Dubai” flight though his Qatari children have an Emirati residence and their mother with whom they live in the UAE is of Emirati na-tionality. He communicated with the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and it took him a full day for his family’s entry. Finally, he was granted permission and he was then required to book new airline tickets for his family in the following day. Upon his wife’s arrival at the UAE airport, the UAE Authorities interrogated her for more than 3 hours continuously, in spite of the ICJ’s decision obliging the UAE to allow the reunification of mixed 6.

Report on the non-compliance by the UAE with the ICJ’s decision six months following its adoption10families was already issued. He adds that there is not clear mechanisms or criteria to communicate with the competent authorities in the UAE. [Second example: Mr. A.H.A.7, of Qatari nationality]Mr. A.H.A. stated that according to information provided by the NHRC, it is possible to enter the UAE after the issuance of the ICJ’s decision. On 17 August 2018, he travelled with his Emirati wife and his one-year old son, to the Sultanate of Oman and he was supposed to enter the UAE through the Hili border crossing in the city of Al Ain, at 7:00 pm; despite the receipt of the entry permission for his Qatari son by e-mail, they were delayed for 7 hours on the grounds that the child’s photo in the travel document is blurred. They were returned to the border point of Buraimi to take another photo of the child and then return to the Hili border point in Al-Ain where they were allowed to enter. He adds that beside the fact that a decision was passed by the ICJ, they did not take into account the situation of his family for 7 hours although a young child is involved[Third, Fourth and Fifth example: W.A.M.8, M.A.M.9 & M.A.M.10, of Qatari nationality]The three concerned persons reported that their maternal grandfather and uncle were Emiratis and had died. They tried to communicate with the UAE authorities by phone to visit their relatives in the UAE to of-fer condolences to their relatives and participate in the funeral. They booked flights on 9 August 2018 and provided documents proving the death and the relationship of kinship. The authorities however continued to elude them and never granted them the entry permits even after the decision of the ICJ. 3) Right to access tribunals and other judicial organs of the UAEDue to the unilateral and arbitrary measures taken against the State of Qatar, the UAE have violated a right that is considered one of the essential safe-guards for human life: the rights of Qatari citizens to access to the Emirati Judiciary. As of 15 January 2019, the NHRC has documented 505 violations of the right to Qatari citizens to ac-cess tribunals and other judicial organs, despite the ICJ’s decision requesting the UAE to adopt the nec-essary measures to ensure that Qataris affected by the measures taken on 5 June 2017 are able to have access to tribunals and other judicial organs in UAE. As of the date of issuance of this report, that is al-most 6 months after the issuance of the ICJ’s deci-sion, no significant action was taken by the UAE authorities to allow affected Qataris to exercise this right.Violations of the right to access to tribunals and other judicial organs infringe the right to private property and the right to work referred to in the ICJ’s decision (see paragraph 67 of the Order). In this report, the NHRC mentions the right to property and the right to work as examples of violations of the right to access tribunals and other judicial organs. As to the right to property, private property owners and investors, citizens and resi-dents of the State of Qatar, are denied the right to access to and dispose of their properties. As to the right to work, arbitrary measures forced investors to liquidate their companies in the UAE, which resulted in un-Continuing violation by the UAE of the right of the citizens and residents of the State of Qatar to access tribunals and other judicial organs. 505 violations since the ICJ’s decision of 23 July 2018.8.

Report on the non-compliance by the UAE with the ICJ’s decision six months following its adoption11employed persons because of job cuts. Arbitrary measures also cut off the income sources of some families who used to have transport between the State of Qatar and the UAE as their source of livelihood. Most of these violations continue despite the adoption of the ICJ decision, as victims have not been able to access the tribunals and other judicial organs in the UAE in order to put an end to the injustice and obtain redress.The following few examples will illustrate the finding that the right of access to the tribunals and other judicial organs of the UAE of a large number of persons continues to be violated despite the provisional measures ordered by the International Court of Justice. [First example: Mr. Kh.A.M.11, of Qatari nationality]Mr. Kh.A.M. established “Arab Link”, an exchange company, in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi with a capital of 20,000,000 UAE dirhams (Twenty millions UAE dirhams). The Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (hereafter “the ADIB”) is a partner in the company with a share of 51%, while he has a share of 49%, and the management of the company was given to the ADIB. The Company has been exposed to failures following the appoint-ment of an Emirati General Manager of the company by the ADIB who has not been held responsible for his actions.Following the unilateral and arbitrary measures taken against the State of Qatar, the ADIB dismissed Mr. Kh.A.M. from his position as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company despite the fact that there was an agreement between the two parties that he shall permanently occupy this position. A new Board of Directors was formed and the Qatari partner was notified of the company’s bankruptcy and obliged to pay the loans to the financing entity. He was not allowed to access the UAE courts. On 21 November 2018, following the issuance of the ICJ’s decision, Mr. Kh.A.M. attempted to get into contact with some Emirati lawyers in order to file a case but not to avail. Some of these lawyers refused while others apologized for not being able to file a lawsuit in which one of the opponents is a Qatari national since they were worried that the UAE authorities would take measures against them.[Second example: Mr. J.A.S.12, of Qatari nationality]Mr. J.A.S. owns a fully furnished house in Dubai (for more than 16 years) as well as three cars. He has been denied access to his house because he was forced to leave the UAE following the unilateral arbitrary measures taken by the UAE authorities against Qataris. Despite all his attempts following the issuance of the ICJ’s decision, he has not found a clear mechanism that allows him to get access to his house or man-age his property. Finally, Mr J.A.S. was left with no choice but to contact an Emirati national on 10 November 2018 in order to officially authorize him to dispose of his property on his behalf in the UAE. However, the Emirati national informed him that he cannot represent him before the UAE authorities because he is of Qatari nationality, and asked him to travel to Oman to issue an official power of attorney to use on his behalf in the UAE.[Third example: Ms. T.H.A.13, of Qatari nationality]Ms. T.H.A. has signed a contract with “Algedra Interior Design” in Dubai (UAE), to carry out the finishing work in her villa in the UAE. The works were ongoing until suspended due to the arbitrary unilateral meas-ures taken against the State of Qatar on 5 June 2017. She contacted the company asking for the completion of work as per their agreement. However, she never received any response. The victim submitted a complaint to the NHRC, stating that she has tried to contact the abovementioned company on 5 September 2018 following the issuance of the ICJ’s decision, to return her money or to continue the work, with no response from their part. She also cannot access the UAE’s tribunals to restore 12. File no. 1918913. File no. 1840411. File no. 18825

Report on the non-compliance by the UAE with the ICJ’s decision six months following its adoption12her rights because of the absence of a concrete mechanism by Emirati authorities though she tried several times to enter the UAE during September 2018.[Fourth example: Mr. F.H.A.14, of Qatari nationality]Mr. F.H.A. has bought on instalments a house in the Emirate of Dubai (UAE) from “DAMAC Properties Co.”, at the value of 2,200,000 UAE dirhams. He paid an amount of 900,000 UAE dirhams. He tried to contact the aforementioned company but he never received any official reply to date. Following the issuance of the ICJ’s decision, he tried to enter the UAE to legally claim the amounts he paid to the company. However, he neither got any response nor found a clear or particular mechanism to enter and have access to the UAE judicial system despite the fact that the last request he submitted was on 28 November 2018. V) Compliance by both Parties with their obligation not to aggravate the dispute in accordance with the Order of the International Court of Justice The ICJ’s decision states that the parties shall refrain from any action that may aggravate the dispute or extend it before the Court or make it more difficult to resolve the dispute. However, the UAE continues to pursue these escalations through the continued involvement of some of its key officials, media profession-als and celebrities in media escalation and incitement against the State of Qatar. Here are some examples:Mr. Dhahi Khalfan Tamim, former deputy head of police and public security in the UAE and unofficial Advisor to the UAE Government, published several tweets inciting to violence and to stigmatize the State of Qatar and its leaders despite the decision of the International Court of Justice, which urged the parties to stop the escalation.The UAE Ambassador to the KSA, Mr. Shakhbout bin Nahayan, also published tweets inciting to hatred and violence against the State of Qatar accusing it of spreading chaos and terrorism.Other tweets also included blatant accusations of the involvement of the State of Qatar in supporting ter-rorism. An example of that is the tweet of the Counsellor to the Emirate of Abu Dhabi’s heir apparent, Mr. Abdul-Khaliq Abdullah, inciting hatred and violence as well as accusing the State of Qatar of financing ter-rorist groups. 14. File no. 19372

Report on the non-compliance by the UAE with the ICJ’s decision six months following its adoption13Furthermore, Emirati newspapers continue on a large scale to spread hatred speech and incitement to vio-lence through the promotion of false news. An example is Sky News, through its news website, which has gone beyond professional and moral values that are more prominent in the media and thus disregarded the legal and moral authority of the ICJ.The hatred and violence incitement have not been limited to some UAE officials and official medias. Emirati tweeters have also sought to distort the reputation of Qatari symbols and insult officials, media officials and human rights activists in the State of Qatar. VI) Legal FrameworkBoth the State of Qatar and the UAE are parties to the International Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination of 21 December 1965 and none of them has expressed any reservations to Article 22 of the Convention which provides that:“Any dispute between two or more of the State Parties with respect to the interpretation or ap-plication of the Convention, which is not settled by negotiation, or by the procedures expressly provided for in this Convention, shall be, at the request of any of the parties to the dispute, re-ferred to the International Court of Justice for decision, unless the disputants agree to another mode of settlement.”The State of Qatar has further confirmed the existence of a dispute between the two parties concerning the interpretation and application of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Dis-crimination as at 5 June 2017 until the date of the issuance of this report, when the UAE have taken discrimi-natory measures against Qataris and their families, in breach of the underlying provisions and principles of the CERD. In this regard, the ICJ issued its decision, which obliges the UAE to take a series of provisional measures to safeguard the rights of the Qataris. It is noted that the arbitrary measures taken by the UAE affect the essence of the international convention, particularly the following articles:• The UAE have targeted Qataris on the basis of their nationality, in violation of paragraph 1 of article 1 of the Convention, which states that: Article 1“1. In this Convention, the term “racial discrimination” shall mean any distinction, exclusion, re-striction or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life”.

Four months on, Emirati non-compliance to the International Court of Justice decisions14• The measures taken by the UAE are in violation of the fundamental human rights of Qataris, un-der articles 2 and 5 of the Convention, which provide as follows:Article 2“1. States Parties condemn racial discrimination and undertake to pursue by all appropriate means and without delay a policy of eliminating racial discrimination in all its forms and promot-ing understanding among all races, and, to this end: (a) Each State Party undertakes to engage in no act or practice of racial discrimination against persons, groups of persons or institutions and to ensure that all public authorities and public institutions, national and local, shall act in conformity with this obligation;(b) Each State Party undertakes not to sponsor, defend or support racial discrimination by any persons or organizations;(c) Each State Party shall take effective measures to review governmental, national and local policies, and to amend, rescind or nullify any laws and regulations which have the effect of creating or perpetuating racial discrimination wherever it exists;(d) Each State Party shall prohibit and bring to an end, by all appropriate means, including legislation as required by circumstances, racial discrimination by any persons, group or or-ganization;(e) Each State Party undertakes to encourage, where appropriate, integrationist multiracial organizations and movements and other means of eliminating barriers between races, and to discourage all matters that tend to strengthen racial division.2. States Parties shall, when the circumstances so warrant, take, in the social, economic, cul-tural and other fields, special and concrete measures to ensure the adequate development and protection of certain racial groups or individuals belonging to them, for the purpose of guaranteeing them the full and equal enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms. These measures shall in no case entail as a consequence the maintenance of unequal or separate rights for different racial groups after the objectives for which they were taken have been achieved”.Article 5“In compliance with the fundamental obligations laid down in article 2 of this Convention, States Parties undertake to prohibit and to eliminate racial discrimination in all its forms and to guar-antee the right of everyone, without distinction as to race, colour, or national or ethnic origin, to equality before the law, notably in the enjoyment of the following rights:(a) The right to equal treatment before the tribunals and all other organs administering justice;(b) The right to security of person and protection by the State against violence or bodily harm, whether inflicted by government officials or by any individual group or institution;(c) Political rights, in particular the right to participate in elections-to vote and to stand for election-on the basis of universal and equal suffrage, to take part in the Government as well as in the conduct of public affairs at any level and to have equal access to public service;(d) Other civil rights, in particular:(i) The right to freedom of movement and residence within the border of the State;

Article 7“States Parties undertake to adopt immediate and effective measures, particularly in the fields of teaching, education, culture and information, with a view to combating prejudices which lead to racial discrimination and to promoting understanding, tolerance and friendship among nations and racial or ethnical groups, as well as to propagating the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Na-tions Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, and this Convention”.• Furthermore, the UAE have failed to provide Qataris under their jurisdiction with effective pro-tection and means of recourse against acts of racial discrimination, in violation of article 6 of the Convention, which states that:Article 6“States Parties shall assure to everyone within their jurisdiction effective protection and rem-edies, through the competent national tribunals and other State institutions, against any acts of racial discrimination which violate his/her human rights and fundamental freedoms contrary to this Convention, as well as the right to seek from such tribunals just and adequate reparation or satisfaction for any damage suffered as a result of such discrimination”. VII) ConclusionsOn the basis of its examination of the situation, the National Human Rights Commission of the State of Qatar reaches the following conclusions:1. The United Arab Emirates continue to violate the rights of vulnerable groups, such as women, children, persons with disabilities and the elderly. In particular, the arbitrary measures taken by the United Arab Emirates have resulted in the violation of the rights of thousands of members of these groups in the areas of education, family reunification, employment and health.2. Victims of these violations are still denied their right of access to tribunal and other judicial organs of the United Arab Emirates, thus depriving them of their right to reparation and restoration of their rights. In addition, the law criminalizing empathy adopted by the Emirati authorities on 7 June 2017, which provides that sympathy towards Qatar is a punishable offence, has impeded the implementation of the right of access to justice, as many law firms in the United Arab Emirates have refused to provide legal assistance to Qataris for fear of being subject to the sanctions provided for in that law.3. Human rights violations continue to happen due to measures taken by the UAE on 5 June 2017, and only a very small number of cases of those affected have been resolved.4. The United Arab Emirates have not established a clear mechanism for the implementation of the Inter-national Court of Justice’s order by defining or making public any mechanism that victims of violations may use to resolve their situation; nor have the United Arab Emirates established hotlines for this pur-pose.16
