Hague, Shawwal 14, 1439, Jun 28, 2018, SPA -- The United Arab Emirates (UAE) presented its submissions to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in connection with the request for provisional measures filed by the State of Qatar against the UAE on 11 June 2018. The UAE maintains that Qatar's claims are baseless and without merit. Qatar has falsely alleged that the measures taken by the UAE against Qatar since June 5, 2017, breach the UAE's commitments under the International Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination (the Convention). Qatar's claims represent its continued efforts to distract attention from its support for terrorism, its promotion of hatred and violence, and its interference in the affairs of other sovereign States. The UAE maintains that it is in full compliance with the Convention, WAM reported. The UAE has presented evidence to the ICJ that unequivocally refutes all the allegations made by Qatar. The UAE has not implemented any measures for the expulsion or deportation of Qatari nationals based on their nationality. There are thousands of Qatari citizens currently residing in and visiting the UAE. All Qataris in the UAE continue to enjoy the full rights granted by law to all residents or visitors of the UAE. --More 00:47 LOCAL TIME 21:47 GMT 0031 www.spa.gov.sa/w709726
