The principal judicial organ of the United Nations - the International Court of Justice (ICJ) will announce its verdict in an urgent case filed against the UAE by Qatar for taking discriminatory measures against Qatari nationals and violating human rights.
The UN body also held hearings last month in the case filed by Qatar against United Arab Emirates accusing it of human rights violations and discrimination, as reported by The Peninsula.
It may be mentioned here that Qatar filed the lawsuit on June 11 against the UAE for violating its obligations under the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD).
The country has also contended in the lawsuit that the UAE has enacted and implemented a series of discriminatory measures directed at Qataris based on their national origin resulting in alleged human rights violations.
As such, Qatar claimed that those measures interfere with a number of rights, including the right to marriage and choice of spouse, result in violations of the rights to freedom of opinion and expression, the right to education and the right to work, and impact the rights of Qataris to own property and enjoy equal treatment before tribunals
