PUBLIC Prosecutor HE Dr Ali bin Fetais al Marri delivered a lecture at Georgetown University Law School on the legal implications of the events and developments in the region.
Marri reviewed the legal and constitutional development in Qatar since its independence until today, especially the adoption of the permanent constitution of the country, which provides equality and establishes the principles of justice and separates the authorities in the state, while respecting the different religious values and judicial independence. He also spoke about the qualitative achievements in Qatar, which were accompanied by a renaissance in legal legislation and which dealt with various aspects of life.
The public prosecutor stressed that since the adoption of its permanent constitution, Qatar has taken firm steps towards the establishment of the rule of law, the independence of judiciary, the establishment of institutions as well as ensuring the use of justice in all levels of litigation, which provides adequate guarantees for the stability of societies and the establishment of all freedoms.
In his lecture to Georgetown University law students, Marri noted that the Emir His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani established the principle of the rule of law, and the state did not overlook other factors such as state-building, infrastructure and integration with the global community.
Marri also spoke about the Gulf crisis and the unjust siege imposed on Qatar since June 5, reviewing in this regard the successes and achievements of the state after the siege by relying more on the energies of its people.
During the lecture, he stressed that Qatar is far from supporting terrorism, adding that Qatar is a"state of law and seeks religious freedom". He noted that the issue of terrorism is closed, and Qatar's interest is focused on the two issues of justice and fighting corruption.
Meanwhile, Marri met with Dr Blake Morant, dean of the George Washington University Law School, on the occasion. The two sides discussed possibilities of cooperation in the academic field, especially with regard to international criminal legal work, exchanging experiences, developing skills, organising conferences, workshops and training workshops.
