Doha, May10: UAE minister of state for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash on Thursday said Qatar has failed to present a rational case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against the Arab quartet’s boycott.
He added that with this disagreement thay Qatar has damaged its legal position at the court and discomfited its lawyers.
He tweetd, “Pleading ended today at the ICJ and the Qatari legal team came up with nothing new. Doha’s big dilemma is that it claims discrimination against its citizens only to become clear at the court that it is the one that blocks websites, which facilitate their movement and deliberately restricts them,” the official added.
In June 2017, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt broke off diplomatic and transportation links with Qatar over its support for terrorist groups.
Qatar has repeatedly alleged that the boycott has infringed its citizens’ rights and filed legal complaints at international agencies.
