Is Qatar a member of the Hague Convention?

Yes Qatar is member of the Hague convention.

No, it isn't. An Apostille is not sufficient and documents need to be legalized.


Oct. 2010 update.

Qatar is not a member state of the "Hague Conference (on private international law)."

Although a diplomatically-recognized country may not be a member of the conference they can still signed any particular treaty that the conference produces.

There are 39 separate current "Hague Conventions" (drafted after 1950). The word Convention in this context means Treaty.

You can click on each and select "status" or "contracting states" to view each country that has signed, ratified, or acceded to any particular treaty.

Or you can look at this chart which compiles them all (Qatar is not listed since they have not signed any). http://www.hcch.net/upload/statmtrx_e.pdf

In general, most middle eastern countries have not signed on to many of the Hague treaties, so if someone asked you about any middle-eastern country's signature on any hague convention you will almost always be correct if you guess no.

If the question-asker is from the United States the State Department's website lists every single treaty (bi-lateral and multi-lateral) that is currently in effect listed by country. http://www.state.gov/s/l/treaty/tif/index.htm
