A/HRC/42/2 and objective manner and in a spirit of positive cooperation with a view to achieving the purposes for which this mechanism was established. 891. Qatar expressed its regret that the United Arab Emirates has, according to the Qatari delegation, abused this mechanism by sending a note containing the recommendations it made to the State of Qatar during the review session and a video link showing the troika announcing amendments made by the United Arab Emirates to these same recommendations made to the State of Qatar during the adoption of the report of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review on Qatar in May 2019. 892. Qatar stated that the United Arab Emirates sent these recommendations to the International Court of Justice, which is currently considering a case by the State of Qatar against the United Arab Emirates, in a misleading attempt to lead the Court to believe that these recommendations were made to the State of Qatar in the name of the troika. 893. Qatar expressed its belief that this is a misrepresentation of facts and a desperate attempt to abuse the universal periodic review mechanism to achieve purposes that are totally unrelated to the issue of human rights and that should not be permitted by this esteemed Council. Accordingly, Qatar suggested that the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review and the President of the Human Rights Council draw the attention of this same State to this issue so that such a practice does not recur in the future. 894. Qatar reiterated that the majority of the recommendations it received were objective and positive. The delegation stated that, while some of them were not accepted, Qatar had taken note of them and would like to thank the countries that made them for their interest and participation in the review. Qatar affirmed its belief that the role of the Human Rights Council and the universal periodic review mechanism as an optimal mechanism to support States’ efforts to fulfil their obligations and enhance their national efforts to improve the human rights situation. 895. Qatar expressed contempt over the intervention made by Bahrain, especially considering that Qatar accepted all recommendations made by Bahrain. Qatar believed that the State of Bahrain should have thanked Qatar for accepting its recommendations. Nicaragua 896.
