United Nations member states have called upon Qatar to reform its domestic workers' rights policy and ban capital punishment.
Qatar is one of the 14 states currently undergoing a Human Rights Council assessment, a UN-led process known as Universal Periodic Review (UPR) involving all 193 member states.
Since its last review in 2014, the Gulf country has taken a number of initiatives to bring its national legislation in line with international human rights covenants, said a Qatari official at the country's review on Wednesday.
