The recommendations listed below have been noted by the United Arab Emirates: 142.1 End the unilateral coercive measures imposed on the State of Qatar immediately (Qatar); 142.2 Compensate all those affected by these coercive measures, provide them with fair access to justice and reparation, and bring those responsible for their human rights violations to account (Qatar). 143. The recommendations in paragraphs 142.1 and 142.2 have been noted, as the United Arab Emirates considers that they fall outside the scope of the universal periodic review, as stipulated in Human Rights Council resolutions 5/1 and 16/21, and thus rejected them. 144. All conclusions and/or recommendations contained in the present report reflect the position of the submitting State(s) and/or the State under review. They should not be construed as endorsed by the Working Group as a whole. 23
