In line with this, the Qatari daily newspaper Al-Sharq highlighted in its Thursday editorial the report by UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial killings released on Wednesday regarding the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul in 2018, according to QNA.
The report called for justice, which requires the opening of an impartial, thorough and independent investigation and accountability of those responsible for the murder of the Saudi journalist, Al-Sharq underlined.

The top U.N. court on June 14 rejected a request by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for interim measures to be imposed on Qatar in a racial discrimination dispute.

Abu Dhabi had asked the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to prevent Qatar "aggravating" the dispute, after Doha won a case last year over alleged discrimination against its citizens.
ICJ Chief judge Abdulqawi Ahmed Yusuf said the court "rejects the request for provisional measures submitted by the United Arab Emirates" by a margin of 15 to one. Qatar's representative to the ICJ said it welcomed the rejection of the "groundless" UAE request.
