National Human Rights Committee (NHRC) Chairman Dr Ali bin Smaikh al Marri has called on the new GCC Secretary-General to assume his responsibilities in dealing with the humanitarian crisis resulting from the continued blockade imposed on Qatar for 1,000 days. During a meeting with members of the US Congress, Dr Marri said the NHRC was more than ready to hand over to the new secretary-general comprehensive reports on the impacts of the blockade and the human suffering it has caused. Dr Marri hoped that the new GCC chief can play a positive role in resolving the humanitarian aspect of the crisis, in line with his responsibilities dictated by the GCC’s rules. Dr Marri urged him to rectify the complete failure of GCC and Arab mechanisms in redressing the victims since the blockade was imposed on them in June 2017. page 2
