DOHA (Reuters) - A Qatar semi-government human rights body said on Saturday that a list of demands, presented to Qatar by four Arab states imposing a boycott on the wealthy Gulf country, were a violation of human rights conventions and should not be accepted by Qatar.

"By accepting those demands and conditions Qatar will be subject to international accountability and violating its commitments regarding human rights conventions," Qatar's National Human Rights Committee said in a statement.
