The Special Rapporteur commends Qatar for its human rights treaty ratifications, and for a number of legislative and policy reforms that promote racial equality and non- discrimination. She notes, however, that Qatar needs to do more in the light of the persistent complex challenges that undermine its compliance with its international obligations and threaten the achievement of genuine equality and non-discrimination, including the overwhelming role that national origin and nationality currently play in determining access to human rights. She raises concerns regarding a de facto caste system based on national origin, which results in structural discrimination against non-citizens, including as the result of immense power imbalances between employers and migrant workers rooted in the kafala (sponsorship) system that historically structured labour relations in Qatar. She commends the significant labour and immigration reforms implemented by Qatar to improve conditions for low-income migrant workers, including domestic workers, but urges further action in this regard. * The summary of the report is being circulated in all official languages.

  • QATAR June 2019
    Labour Migration from Nepal FACTSHEET: QATAR June 2019 Introduction Qatar is a sovereign and independent state in West Asia, occupying a peninsula that extends into the Arabian Gulf. It is spread over an area of 11,500 square kilometers (i.e., about thirteen times smaller than Nepal).1 Since its independence from the United Kingdom in 1971, Qatar has emerged as one of the world’s most important producers of oil and gas. It is an Islamic State where laws and customs follow Islamic traditions.2 Arabic is the principal language of the country and Islam is the official religion. The average life expectancy is 76.8 years for men and 81 years for women.3 The Qatari Riyal is the local currency of the country (USD 1 = QAR 3.64). Qatar is a wealthy nation. It ranked 54th globally in terms of the size of economy with a gross domestic product (GDP) of USD 167.0 billion in 2017.5 With its large gas reserves, double-digit economic growth rates, large construction projects, and high demand for labour, Qatar has become one of the major destinations for foreign workers, including Nepalis.6 There has been consistent growth in Qatar’s migrant population in the last six decades, from about 14 thousand in 1960 to over 1.7 million in 2017 (Table 1). Qatar ranks among the top countries globally in terms of the share of foreigners in the total population. The foreign population in Qatar outnumbers natives by a huge margin. Table 1: Qatar’s Population and Share of Migrants Migrant Population† Year Total Population* Number % of Total Population 1960 47,384 14,400 30.4 1965 73,633 34,091 46.3 1970 109,514 68,339 62.4 1975 164,413 119,182 72.5 1980 223,775 165,426 73.9 1985 371,081 281,907 76.0 1990 476,445 309,753 65.0 1995 513,455 361,673 70.4 2000 592,267 359,697 60.7 2005 864,863 646,026 74.7 2010 1,779,676 1,456,413 81.8 2015 2,481,539 1,687,640 68.0 2017 2,639,211 1,721,392 65.2 Note: The figures for migrants are as of the middle of the respective years.

  • The Gulf Crisis and Narratives of Emotionality in Nepal's English
    International Journal of Communication 13(2019), 1323–1339 1932–8036/20190005 The Gulf Crisis and Narratives of Emotionality in Nepal’s English-Language Press SUBIN PAUL University of Iowa, USA This study examines the media discourse on the Gulf diplomatic crisis and its effect on one of the most marginalized populations in Qatar: Nepali migrant workers. Although the diplomatic crisis made news headlines across the Middle East, Nepal-based newspapers were the only ones to cover the vulnerable migrant worker population in some detail. In writing about this population, three prominent English-language publications in Nepal, The Kathmandu Post, Republica, and People’s Review, employed emotional storytelling. Drawing on Wahl-Jorgensen’s notion of the “strategic ritual of emotionality,” this study specifically analyzes the use of emotion in the three publications’ news coverage. The study finds that the publications engaged in the ritual of emotionality not by assigning that function to external news sources, as is common in Western newspapers, but mainly through their own journalists and opinion writers who narrated their subjective viewpoints and concerns. This unreserved embrace of emotions and subjectivity in newswriting illuminates a unique, cultural mode of producing journalism. Keywords: media and emotion, strategic ritual of emotionality, Gulf crisis, Qatar, Nepali media, Nepali migrants, Nepal Nearly five months into the Qatar-Gulf crisis, a feature story in Nepal’s leading English-language newspaper, The Kathmandu Post, described life in the remote hilly village of Nalma, which was affected by the global forces of migration. Published October 28, 2017, and titled “What Migration Means on the Home Front,” the feature asserted that in the past decade, the young male workforce of Nalma, as in other villages around the country, has “looked outside Nepal’s borders for better economic opportunities than what local agriculture provides” (Lipton, Liu, & Basnet, 2017, para.

  • Gulf Response to the Syrian Refugee Crisis Facts, Debates and Fatwas
    sociology of islam 5 (2017) 112-137 brill.com/soi Gulf Response to the Syrian Refugee Crisis Facts, Debates and Fatwas Sari Hanafi Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Media Studies, American Univer- sity of Beirut; Vice President of the International Sociological Association (for National Associations); Editor, Idafat: the Arab Journal of Sociology [email protected] or [email protected] Abstract This article will focus on how the Gulf, state and society, reacted to the Syrian crisis and the role of religious leaders in Gulf area and beyond in addressing when a Muslim should opt for migration as a response to the deterioration of their living conditions and how should behave in the host society. After examining statistics that contradict the Gulf’s official declarations concerning the number of Syrian refugees hosted by their countries, I will review briefly the debates in favor and against receiving Syrian refugees in the Gulf societies through conventional and social media. Finally, through the analysis of fatwas issued since 2011, I will argue that the landscape of religious scripts provides contradictory messages about migration, modes of migrant’s incorpo- ration and hospitality. Some of these messages call upon Muslims to receive refugees in distress while others are either silent or discouraging refugees to go to non-Muslim countries. Keywords Gulf countries – Fatwas – Syrian refugees – migration policy – integration – hospitality Introduction In migration studies there is a general lamentation of the eroding of “politics of compassion” and the development of what Hannah Arendt (1991) and Rony © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2017 | doi 10.1163/22131418-00503005 <UN> Gulf Response to the Syrian Refugee Crisis 113 Brauman1 (1996) called “politics of pity” that the has replaced compassion, empathy and justice.
