ALGIERS – Arab states on Wednesday slammed what they called a “defamation campaign” against Qatar over its human rights record ahead of the Nov 20-Dec 18 World Cup.
In the final declaration of the Arab League summit in Algeria, the 22-member bloc confirmed its “support” for the tiny Gulf state “and total confidence in its ability to organise an excellent edition of this global event”.
Qatar, whose ruler Sheikh Tamim Hamad Al Thani was at the meeting in Algiers, has faced global criticism over its treatment of foreign workers, and over LGBTQ and women’s rights. The Arab League’s member states, which adopted the resolution unanimously, confirmed “our total rejection of the baseless campaign of defamation” against Qatar.
