Genesis--Legally, Qatar is not obliged, but I think it has a moral obligation to explain why it withdrew its hospitality. If the US, which also does not sign up for many of these agreements, behaved in this way, I suspect you would be amongst the first expecting an explanation. :-)
Qatar is also obsessed with what the world thinks of it (or at least a powerful element within Qatar is), so it would also be smart to explain its decision, or leak an explanation, for the sake of PR. I just don't think it will play well when I pick up the next issue of the Economist which features a full-page ad espousing the enlightened values of Education City next to an article about Eman al-Obeidy. And I am assuming there is much more to it than this woman's side of this story.
