- Use of legal frameworks to maintain absolute control by the ruling family.
The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) has characterized the State of Qatar as a 'monarchic authoritarian government' in its latest human rights assessment. According to the HRF, the state maintains tight control over its population, with significant restrictions on political expression and civil liberties. The report highlights that the Qatari legal framework is used to suppress dissent and maintain the absolute authority of the ruling family. The HRF's analysis suggests that despite modernization efforts, the fundamental structure of the state remains inherently repressive, limiting the rights of both citizens and the large migrant population.
