The main purpose of the Qatar conference was to support regional initiatives to strengthen the role of NHRIs, and other actors, in promoting a culture of human rights in accordance with international standards. The conference adopted the Doha Declaration, which included 14 recommendations on follow-up actions. The Declaration called upon Arab States that had not yet established NHRIs to do so, while others were urged to strengthen theirs in accordance with the Paris Principles. The participants called for the holding of such conferences on an annual basis and agreed to form a follow-up committee, composed of the National Human Rights Committee of Qatar, the National Human Rights Council of Egypt, the National Consultative Council for Human Rights of Morocco and OHCHR. This follow-up committee would monitor the implementation of the recommendations of the first and second conferences. V. ROUND TABLES OF NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS AND THEMATIC ISSUES A.
