Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Rwanda has voiced solidarity with Qatar and demanded accountability for Israeli airstrikes in Doha, insisting that violations of international law should not go unanswered.<\/p>\n

The call was made on Tuesday, September 16, at the 60th session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, where Rwanda\u2019s Permanent Representative to the UN, Urujeni Bakuramutsa, delivered a statement on behalf of the government during an urgent debate on the strikes.<\/p>\n

The strikes, which targeted senior Hamas leaders in the Qatari capital, had earlier drawn condemnation from Kigali. The Office of the Government Spokesperson, on September 11, described the assault as a \u201cdangerous violation of international norms and a threat to global stability.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe stand in solidarity with the government and the people of the state of Qatar,\u201d Bakuramutsa said. \u201cWe unequivocally condemn the deadly attack in Qatar, launched by Israel, which endangered civilians and further inflamed an already fragile situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

She reaffirmed Rwanda\u2019s position that international norms must be upheld without compromise, stating that \u201cRwanda reaffirms the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and security of all member states. The UN Charter, international law, and the peaceful settlement of disputes must guide all actions. Any use of force against these principles weakens collective security.\u201d<\/p>\n

Linking the incident to broader peace efforts, Bakuramutsa underscored Qatar\u2019s contribution to mediation, particularly in conflict-prone regions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe underline the indispensable role of mediator states in preventing escalation and paving the way to durable political solutions,\u201d she said, \u201cIn this spirit, we commend Qatar’s constructive engagement in the Great Lakes region, consistent with the African Union framework and complementary to the Washington peace agreement, to facilitate inter-Congolese dialogue aimed at ending violence, safeguarding human rights, and paving the way for a comprehensive political resolution.\u201d<\/p>\n

She further commended the Human Rights Council for convening the debate, while urging it to move beyond words. \u201cWe invite the Council to recommend practical measures to safeguard mediators and mediating states, and to ensure accountability under international law.\u201d<\/p>\n
