Speaking in Geneva as the diplomatic dispute rages among Gulf Arab states, Ali Bin Samikh Al-Marri appealed to United Nations experts to investigate the impact of the blockade.
Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain have accused Qatar of supporting terrorism and last week, they severed ties with Doha and banned Qatari planes from the Arab nations' airspace.
Al-Marri said the Qatari National Human Rights Committee was seeking U.N. Action through creation of a "fact-finding commission" and deployment of U.N. Rights investigators to assess the impact in Qatar.
Earlier this week, UN human rights chief Zeid Ra'ad al- Hussein, a Jordanian prince, expressed alarm at the possible impact of the move against Qatar on the lives of thousands of people.

It added that "for the sake of our brotherly Qatari people ... It was decided to take many measures aimed at addressing humanitarian and health cases, establish hot lines in each country so that cases can be reported and appropriate action be taken" in line with humanitarian traditions and international human rights law.
"Because of these measures taken, there were violations of freedom of expression and opinion, the right to work, the right to education, the right to health, and we see that this siege and these measures have led to what are called collective punishment or sanctions," Al-Marri said, speaking through a translator. "It was harsher than the Berlin Wall that separated families."
He also said his committee was in contact with lawyers abroad to help plan a legal response to the blockade.
