International Law Study Concerning Termination of Diplomatic Relationships by Arab Countries Against Qatar

The practice of unilateral termination of diplomatic relations between countries such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, Libya, United Arab Emirates, Yemen and the Maldives against Qatar due to reason that Qatar is 'accused' of supporting, funding and embracing terrorism, extremism and sectarian organizations are normal matters in international law. Such ebb and flow of diplomatic relations are common among countries, although in fact no state in the world can live alone therefore requiring cooperative relations with other countries, no positive side of termination of diplomatic relationship, this can be seen in practice of countries against Qatar. The actions of several States against Qatar may be justified as part of the sovereignty of the state which cannot be intervened by any State under the warranty granted by Article 2 of the United Nations Charter.
