On the border disputes between Bahrain and Qatar
Qatar-Bahrain, Politics, 1/16/2001

The secretary general of the Qatari Cabinet Abdullah al-Muslimani, who is also Qatar's representative before the International Court of Justice in the Hague stressed the possibility of reaching a political settlement for the border dispute between Qatar and Bahrain even before or after the issuance of the decision of the court, but this will be under the conditions of the compliance of the will of the two states.

He explained that there is nothing in the International law which prevents the two sides from dealing with various issues in a way different from the treatment of the International Court but this is also again under the condition of the will of the two countries and then to inform the court about that.

Muslimani reiterated Qatar's commitment to the decision of the court in the disputes even the decision will not be in its interest. He added that such a decision will be final and definite and can not be appealed.
