Sharjah 24 – WAM: In a statement, Saeed Al Habsi, Director of the Human Rights Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, stated: "We reject the resolution adopted this week in the European Parliament concerning the United Arab Emirates.”

The statement added: “We strongly reject the allegations made in the text, which have been previously addressed and dismissed as factually incorrect. Moreover, the resolution completely ignores all of the UAE’s significant achievements in the human rights field.”

The statement continued: “Every country has its own laws and legal institutions - the UAE Constitution and national legislation enshrines fundamental rights which provide for the fair treatment of all citizens and residents.”
