These procedures are consistent with the recommendations No. 70 (a) and (b). B. Residence Para 48 and 49: We confirm, as a general principle, that Law No 15 of 2010 regarding the prohibition of establishing workers residences within the families’ residential areas, and decision No. 83 of 2011 issued by the Minister of Municipality and Urban Planning regarding the families’ residence area and exceptions regarding the worker’s residences in the families areas, did not specify the Qatari or Arab families or specific nationalities, but the text came in general, and the protection includes all families, and for workers as well, without discrimination based on race, sex, language, religion, color or national origin. Article 1 of Law No 15 of 2010, prohibited real estate owners or those who have the right to manage the real estates, business owners or those assigned to rent, lease, or allocate places and parts thereof of all kinds, for the worker’s residence within families’ residential areas. Places of families’ residential areas, and exceptions thereto, are determined by a decision of the Minister of Municipality and Environment. The exception provided in the second article of the Minister of Municipal and Urban Planning’s Decree No 83 of 2011 regarding the determination of areas for families and private residence, except for worker’s residence working in the commercial and public fields licensed to work within residential areas in accordance with laws, regulations, and decisions regulating this, is the best example of non-discrimination. Those families include all nationalities, whether Qatari or expatriates. The ban applies to all workers without identifying a specific category and without discrimination or restriction based on race, color, or descent and national origin or religion, all stand before the law on an equal footing. The comprehensive urban plan of the State of Qatar 2030 also attaches importance to workers’ residences to give workers comfort and safety and keep pace with the highest international standards. The establishment of a single labour city is estimated at 15 million riyals and is equipped with all essential facilities according to the highest safety standards and early warning and firefighting systems. The city is divided into two parts that include in the first section recreational areas, playground, theater, cinema halls and shopping mall. While the second section includes residential areas equipped with health services. According to the Minister of Labour and Social Affairs Decision No 18 of 2014, regarding conditions and specifications of accommodation suitable for workers, the decision obliges the employer to provide a decent residence that matches with the highest international standards and is equipped with all vital and medical equipment. These procedures are in line with the recommendations of the Special Rapporteur in para 70 (d). C.
