Seminar on human rights violations in UAE organised in US

A seminar on human rights violations attributed to the United Arab Emirates was organised on Tuesday by The American Society of International Law (ADA).

"At a time when global attention is focused on the Gulf region and the disastrous conflict in Yemen, headlines are on the subject of human rights and the humanitarian situation inside and outside the UAE," organizers said.

The seminar discussed challenges to human rights and the rule of law within the UAE. "Systematic violations" were discussed in the light of arrests, detention and the judicial system.

Participants also dealt with the link between internal abuses and similar abuses in Yemen-run prisons in Yemen.
