Cairo - Abdel Rahim Ali, member of parliament announced that he is currently preparing a comprehensive file on Qatar's crimes against humanity, as well as war crimes committed by the Qatari regime and its agents in Libya and Yemen.

The documented file mentioned is to be presented to the International Criminal Court (ICC) soon.

"The file will include evidence that prove the treacherous role played by Qatar and its ruling family who have torn apart countries like Libya and Yemen. These are crimes against humanity and war crimes against Libyan and Yemeni citizens," Ali, the Egyptian analysts on radical Islamic movements and terrorism, said in a statement.

Ali elaborated that over the last six years, Qatar has been financing and supporting specific terrorist groups such as, the International Organization of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamic Fighting Group in Libya. The assistance they provide to these terrorist organizations include logistics and arms.

Qatar has long been accused of allowing terrorist financiers to operate within its borders. The country has been coined as “the Club Med for Terrorists”. Qatar is also described as the “most two-faced nation in the world, backing the U.S.-led coalition against the militants of the Islamic State, while providing a permissive environment, in the words of one top American official, for terrorist financiers to operate with impunity.”

It has been a pillar for international designated terrorist groups, such as ISIS and Al-Qaeda-affiliate Al-Nusra Front or Jabhat al-Nusra , known as the Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, to carry out deadly attacks against civilians in Syria. All atrocities by these groups were in favor of Western schemes aimed at dividing the Arab world.

Abdel Rehim Ali stressed that he will provide irrefutable evidence and confidential documents on the suspicious role of Qatar in this regard. He added that a large number of experts in International Law and terrorism are assisting him to prepare the file that will be submitted to the ICC, along with dozens of translated documents.

Legally, any individual, group or organisation can send information on alleged crimes to the Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) of the ICC. These are referred to as “communications.” Because all communications are subjected to analysis by the OTP, the more detailed and substantive the information received, the better the Office is able to focus its analysis.

Upon receiving a communication, the OTP assesses whether the allegations fall within the court’s jurisdiction or not. The jurisdictional criteria are explained further below. If the communication does not meet the jurisdictional criteria, it is deemed to be manifestly outside of the court’s jurisdiction. If the criteria is met, a communication can be linked to a situation that is already under investigation or preliminary examination by the court, in which case it is analysed as part of those situations and cases, by the relevant investigative team.
