During the UN Human Rights Council’s 63rd session, Qatar and Costa Rica called for stronger legal frameworks to ensure that violations against women and children in conflict zones lead to tangible justice and reparation, citing the inadequacy of current accountability measures.

  • According to GN geopolitics/war (en-US), Qatar’s Geneva envoy Dr. Hend Abdulrahman Al Muftah explicitly warned that ongoing violations against women and children may constitute war crimes, while stressing that current accountability mechanisms are insufficient to provide effective remedies for victims.
