Kuwait on Friday submitted a written deposition to the ICJ registry on its commitment to ecosystem protection. The document, presented by Ambassador to the Netherlands Ali Al-Thifeeri at the Hague-based International Court of Justice, came upon a request by the UN General Assembly, according to an embassy statement.

Through the deposition, Kuwait is seeking to reaffirm fulfilling commitments, protocols, and international agreements it signed vis-à-vis climate protection. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Oil Imad Al-Atiqi, Minister of Foreign Affairs Abdullah Al-Yahya, and Kuwait’s Governor to OPEC Mohammad Al-Shatti had significantly contributed to producing the deposition.
