Abstract

This research aims to explain and analyze responses from the Gulf Cooperation Council
towards the violation of human rights in Egypt post-military coup d'etat in 2013.
Democracy comes with a high price in Egypt. However in 2012, a presidential election
was held for the very first time in the history of the Egyptian state establishment where
Mohamed Morsi was elected as a head of state. Mursi came from Freedom and Justice
Party, a political party founded by Ikhwanul Muslimin. After the first year of his
incumbent, Morsi was overthrown through a military coup led by General Abdul Fattah Al
Sisi in 2013. This event caused a political crisis in Egypt, demonstrations emerged within
the entire country and received repressive responses from the military regime. Thousands
of people were killed, imprisoned and executed without a fair trial. The international
community has condemned the human rights violation that was occurring however, the
Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia, Uni Emirat Arab, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman tended
to turn a blind eye towards this issue. In fact, supportive responses were shown towards
the ruling regime with Qatar as the only country with an opposite response. As a result,
Ikhwanul Muslimin was banned in almost the entire Middle Eastern region.
