HE Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulaziz bin Saleh Al Khulaifi affirmed the State of Qatar’s conviction that just and sustainable peace is the basis under which all rights can be safeguarded, foremost among them the right to education.
In his speech during a session titled “Education as Justice in Times of Crisis”, held as part of the Doha Forum 2025, His Excellency noted that the world is witnessing the most severe decline in peace indicators since the end of World War II.
He pointed out that, according to the Global Peace Index, geopolitical tensions are escalating, conflicts are becoming more complex and prolonged, civilians are increasingly exposed to danger, and paths to resolution and recovery are narrowing.
In Gaza, Syria, Sudan, and many other regions, education systems have not only suffered from poverty, but have also been directly targeted by violence, displacement, and the complete destruction of schools and learning institutions, in an attempt to weaken communities at their roots, His Excellency added.
HE the Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the State of Qatar’s efforts in mediation, dialogue, and conflict resolution contribute to saving lives, stabilizing communities, and preserving education itself.
He highlighted that Qatar’s experience in this field has demonstrated that justice and education are interconnected elements that reinforce one another, and that the restoration of education is a fundamental condition for enabling societies to rebuild themselves.
He added that the State of Qatar’s efforts affirm one clear truth: education is a right with which justice is upheld, an embodiment of shared humanity, and a collective responsibility borne by all nations, which require coordinated and serious action.
His Excellency called for looking at education as an essential pillar of peace and international cooperation, instead of it just being a standalone service.
Concluding his remarks, HE the Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that achieving justice requires confronting, without hesitation, the reality of global conflicts that determine which educational systems are protected and which are left vulnerable to collapse, in addition to requiring that commitments align with concrete actions, grounded in the values of justice, peace, and prosperity for all.
